Pros

  • Investors seeking short-term investments
  • Risk averse investors seeking secured business loan investment opportunities

Cons

  • Investors seeking equity investments
  • Investors seeking long-term investments

Brdge Tech (SeedIn) is a decent P2P investment platform in Singapore, which provides investors access to short-term investments in SMEs across Asia Pacific, including Singapore, Cambodia, Taiwan and the Philippines. The platform's fee structure is competitive; however it lacks investment opportunities longer than one year and features a much more complicated application than its competitors, rendering it a less than ideal experience for all investors. Still, the fact that Brdge Tech (SeedIn) offers the second largest financing opportunities (up to S$5 million) investments in secured and unsecured business loans, makes it appealing to some investors.

What Makes Brdge Tech Stand Out to Investors

Brdge Tech's platform provides short-term (1-12 months) loans as large as S$2 million and allows for deals as large as S$5 million. This indicates that investors will have access to large scale investment opportunities. Moreover, Brdge Tech is one of two crowdfunding investing platforms that offers secured and unsecured investment opportunities. Secured business loans are backed by borrowers' collateral, meaning the borrower has provided an asset that it can sell to repay lenders in case of default. Because of this, secured loans may be attractive for risk averse investors.

However, investors seeking longer-term opportunities may be disappointed in Brdge Tech's offerings, as the platform does not provide financing longer than one year. Short-term investments may present extra hassle due to the more frequent reinvestment process. Additionally, the application process, which includes significant documentation and a suitability test, appears to be more burdensome than other P2P/Crowdfunding investment platforms.

Total Deal AmountsUp to S$5 million
Investment Durations:1 - 12 months
Investor fee:Unknown
Security:Unsecured or secured against invoices/collateral

Brdge Tech's P2P Lending Platform Recent Performance

Brdge Tech has delivered impressive results in terms of its low default rates. From 2016 to 2018, the platform had zero non-performing loans (greater 90 days of non-payment). Brdge Tech's recent returns were slightly less impressive compared to its competitors; however, it is crucial to understand that past performance is not an indicator of future outcomes.

Online reviews, however, have shown that some investors are concerned about the default rate of the deals, especially for large loans. According to these reviews, many have indicated that some large loans have had a lack of or delayed repayment.
