Also, the margin of financing was 80% of Potboy’s Purchase Order value to its supplier.

Besides the attractive yield and the short tenure of 2 months, the investor’s risks are further reduced by Moneysave’s unique incentives given to Potboy for reducing their credits and business risks” added Soh.
