About Us

Mekar mission is to promote financial inclusion and empower small business owners and individuals to achieve their financial goals. We are committed to providing accessible and innovative financial products and services, leveraging technology to connect global liquidity providers to borrowers in Indonesia. Our focus on Partnership with the best Cooperative in Indonesian has helped us make a positive impact on the lives of our clients and the local community.

MEKAR aims to improve access to finance to micro, small and medium-sized businesses that have a positive economic and social impact in Indonesia. We do this by connecting lenders with businesses needing finance. In doing this, we partner closely with (non-bank) financial institutions with operations in many parts of Indonesia.

MEKAR has received a lending license from OJK with issuance of a decree Number KEP-127/D.05/2019 dated December 13, 2019. MEKAR business activities are closely supervised by and regulated under OJK Regulation No.10/POJK.05/2022 on Information Technology-Based Joint Funding Services to ensure MEKAR legality and compliance with the laws and regulations in Indonesia.

On January 11, 2024, PT Mekar Investama Sampoerna was acquired by Linkki Singapore Pte. Ltd. which led to the change of the company name to PT Mekar Investama Teknologi.

MEKAR uses technology to improve access to finance for small businesses in Indonesia. To achieve this mission, MEKAR engages wealthier Indonesians to finance the less wealthy entrepreneurial Indonesians.

As a small and efficient institution, MEKAR achieves national coverage by working with credit cooperatives, rural banks and financial institutions with a total of around 300 branches across the country. These institutions find, select and pre-fund the businesses. MEKAR selects the least risky borrowers for wealthier Indonesians to finance. This then frees up the capital of the institutions so that more businesses can be financed. mekar.id is the web platform that MEKAR uses for this service.

MEKAR is the best choice for lenders whose goal is not only to earn some interest on their money but also to help grow MSMEs and micro businesses. Also, in terms of safety, it is better than other Fintech startups out there.

Davis Ray

MEKAR has a good platform and all its features are easy to understand, hopefully MEKAR can continue to support the growth of Indonesian MSMEs. We must support MEKAR because this platform benefits everyone so we can take a step forward together.

Agung Noegroho

Lender

At first I was hesitant to start funding loans via MEKAR because at that time MEKAR was not yet registered with the Financial Services Authority (OJK), but now that MEKAR is registered with the OJK, I feel confident funding business loans through MEKAR.

Dian Kurniawan

Lender

I came to know MEKAR after reading about it in the Kontan tabloid. At first, I funded loans via MEKAR just for the fun of it, just giving it a try because MEKAR does offer a good return. But as it turns out, funding loans in MEKAR has given me many more benefits than ju...

Ester Ratih Dwihapsari

Lender

At first I was hesitant to start funding business loans via MEKAR so I started with funding just one loan. The experience was superb so I decided to fund more loans. Thank you, MEKAR.

Tri Sutrisno

Lender

Funding loans through MEKAR makes me feel like I am playing a part in improving Indonesia's macro-economy. For lenders, it is important that the country's economy is healthy as it will drive consumption levels and foster great funding opportunities with good returns.

Herry Prakasa Hertanto

Lender

The repayments are on time and it makes me very happy to know that my money is helping Indonesian MSMEs that are finding a hard time getting a loan from the bank. During these first three months, the repayments have always been right on schedule.
