CROWDFUNDING platform Siam Validus, a joint venture between Validus and SCG Distribution, is the first foreign fintech firm to be granted a debenture crowdfunding licence by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand (SEC).

The licence will allow Siam Validus to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) via debt crowdfunding, which is a form of peer-to-peer lending through an approved online funding portal.
