Invest in Changing Lives

Commercial Financing With Social Benefits

Microfinance aims to create or grow profitable businesses that generate livable incomes. Microfinance institutions are community led and operated banks that provide banking facilities to marginalized communities.

These community banks provide savings products help grow the wealth of the community and provide commercial financing to help micro-entrepreneurs grow their revenues and incomes.

Your investment helps community banks extend financing to create and grow more micro-businesses.

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 dispursed accross 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 accross 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.

Ethical Capital Market

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

Global Investor Access

Using Blossom's platform, qualified microfinance institutions can raise funds from a variety of individual and institutional investors from all around the globe.

Profit Sharing Model

Blossom's contract structure aligns the interest of investors with microfinance institutions using a profit sharing structure. Blossom takes no up front administrative fees or service charges.

Fully Shariah Structure

Blossom's platform is designed with end-to-end shariah compliance in mind. All contracts (uqood) use fully approved shariah structures such as profit-sharing (mudarabah) and cost-plus asset purchase (murabahah).

Fast & Easy Fundraising

Blossom's platform aims to streamline and accelerate microfinance fundraising process so institutions can focus on serving their members instead of dealing with banks.

Receive Local Currency

Blossom's platform funds its partner institutions in their own local currency, so they no longer need to rely on risky foreign loans which carry heavy foreign exchange risk.

Fully Licensed & Regulated

Blossom handles regulatory and tax matters so institutions can focus on their core business. Blossom's investments are full licensed and regulated in their respective jurisdictions.

Incredibly better banking. Made by incredible locals.

See why communities LOVE their local BMT.

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 indivudal default, Blossom uses a fund model. Your investment risk is diversified accross a portfollio of BMT community banks which in turn invest into thousands of micro-entrepreneurs accross various regions in Indonesia.
