Carro secures $75m multi-currency loan from HSBC

The loan will boost the company’s liquidity.

Carro has signed a loan agreement with HSBC, which is part of the bank’s $1.35b (US$1b) ASEAN Growth Fund.

The company secured a $75m multi-currency loan through the deal.

The loan will fund its fintech unit, Genie Financial Services.

“Our fintech business, leveraging proprietary data-driven lending, has been growing prudently with a loan book exceeding $500m and NPL [non-performing loan] below 0.5%,” Carro CEO and co-founder Aaron Tan said.

“Securing this landmark financing from HSBC is a huge validation of our digital ecosystem-led business model,” he added.

Carro CFO Ernest Chew said the loan strengthens the company’s balance sheet and diversifies its funding channel in Malaysia, allowing it to further grow its business.

The second-hand car platform is currently present in seven markets, having just entered Hong Kong and Japan. It generates nearly $1.35b (US$1b) in revenues and has achieved a record EBITDA of $25.11m(US$34m).

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
