On Wednesday November 21, 2025 at HY Ebène, FinClub presented its Institutional Lending Platform, a solution for institutional investors wishing to finance productive projects in Mauritius. The launch comes at a time when the national economy is turning towards more sustainable models and the need for structured financing is growing.
Already regulated by the Financial Services Commission since 2021 as the first local retail lending platform, FinClub is now extending its model to businesses, cooperatives, Credit Unions and professional groups. This new asset class would be offered within a regulated and transparent framework, with observed average yields of 10.72% per annum.
Since 2022, the platform has registered over 11,800 requests, representing MUR 1.85 billion, and has disbursed MUR 220 million, mainly to SMEs. This segment is considered essential for local employment and productive dynamism, reinforcing the importance of tools that facilitate access to financing.
In this context, FinClub explains that its Institutional Lending Platform would enable investors to allocate their funds to two types of financing. On the one hand, Green Loans would support projects linked to the energy transition, such as the installation of solar panels or the acquisition of electric vehicles. On the other, SME Loans would support the development of productive capacities or the purchase of equipment.
An initiative welcomed by the Honorable Doctor Jyoti Jeetun, Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning: “this platform extends FinClub’s innovative peer-to-peer model to institutional investors, offering them the opportunity to participate in a new asset class, which offers attractive risk-adjusted returns and exposure beyond traditional market cycles.” The opportunity for institutions to invest in real, measurable, ESG-aligned projects, and help build a more sustainable, inclusive and resilient economy – a real lever for growth and transformation for Mauritius!
