Sustainable Development

Access to financial services is critical to helping reduce poverty. Many people living below the poverty line cannot use a typical bank savings account due to lack of access and high fees.

Local Islamic microfinance cooperatives ("BMT") provide important savings and financing services to marginalized communities to help reduce poverty. Your investment helps these community banks finance micro-entrepreneurs to start or grow profitable businesses.

 

Blossom Finance: Invest in Sustainable Development Using Sukuk

Profitable & Sustainable

Typically, your investment yields a 6-8% return per year, and the principle investment capital is returned after 6 or 12 months. Every 3 months you'll receive a profit-sharing contribution and report detailing the positive impact of your investment. 1

Fund Model Reduces Risk

Your investment is pooled into a fund with multiple investors and disbursed across dozens of community banks and thousands of individual entrepreneurs. This way, money can be used where its needed most urgently, and your risk is diversified across a broad portfollio.

Strictly Ethical

Not all microfinance is created equal. Financing via Blossom's platform is used strictly to finance income-generating businesses—never for consumer spending. The aim of each investment is to increase a family's overall household income—and to put the loan sharks out of business.

SmartSukuk™
Ethical Capital Market, Evolved.

 SmartSukuk leverages the trusted contract structures of conventional Sukuk,
            but brings online efficiency using the Ethereum blockchain. SmartSukuk cannot include usurious loans, margin trading, or excessive speculation. All businesses and projects must meet strict criteria including screening that prohibits any activities that could cause harm to society.

Emerging Market Access. Globally.

Using Blossom's platform, investors get access to unique and interesting projects in emerging markets.

Socially Responsible. Positive Impact.

Projects are evaluated and underwritten not only on financial merit, but on the underlying impact to local communities.

Fully Legal & Regulated

Every investment includes a legally enforceable contract and corresponding legal operating structure to protect investors.

Profit Sharing Model

No up-front administrative or service fees charged to investors. Blossom earns a share of investor profits.

Flexible Investment Options

Blossom's Investor Portal is designed with international investors in mind. Invest using cryptocurrency or via conventional bank transfer.

Fully Shariah Structure

Investments are end-to-end shariah compliant using fully approved shariah structures such as profit-sharing (mudarabah).

The “BMT” model combines a for-profit motive (“Baitul Tamwil”) with a social-benefit motive (“Baitul Maal”). BMTs provide core banking facilities to marginalized communities where traditional banks don't operate or charge fees beyond what the community can afford.

BMTs drive wealth creation within local communities via savings programs and microfinance, and then use their commercial returns to fund social enterprise projects that solve local problems while providing sustainable income to the poor.

How it Works

Unlike peer-to-peer platforms which carry risk of individual default, Blossom uses a fund model. Your investment risk is diversified across a portfolio of BMT community banks which in turn invest into thousands of micro-entrepreneurs across various regions in Indonesia.
