CapitalBridge FAQ
Understand the marketplace before joining a pool.
Is CapitalBridge a lender?
No. CapitalBridge is a loan pooling and facilitation marketplace. It does not lend, underwrite, approve loans, or hold client funds.
Are rates guaranteed?
No. Any displayed rates or bids are indicative unless formally confirmed by the relevant lender. Final rates and terms depend on lender approval.
Why would banks use CapitalBridge?
Banks and lenders may use CapitalBridge to access organized loan demand in bulk, potentially reducing acquisition cost compared with one-by-one origination.
How do borrowers benefit?
Borrowers may benefit from the bargaining power of a group and a simpler application journey, while lenders compete for pooled demand.
Can weaker borrowers join?
Applicants may submit interest and be grouped where appropriate, but rejected or unsuitable cases may not proceed. Final approval remains with each lender.
What is a group loan pool?
It is an aggregated pool of loan applications with similar loan type, tenure, documentation quality, borrower profile, benchmark indicators, and platform grade. The goal is to present organized bulk demand to lenders.
How is the benchmark rate used?
Each pool is benchmarked using available market rates, borrower profile, tenure, loan type, documentation quality, and platform-grade indicators. Benchmark rates and bids are indicative only.
When can bankers and lenders bid?
Verified bankers and lenders can preview available pools. Indicative sealed bids are submitted during scheduled auction windows created by admin.
What fees apply?
Loan applicants acknowledge the $10 application fee. Bankers pay the platform success fee only on successful accepted allocations. The current platform fee is 0.1%, adjustable by admin settings.
What reward can loan applicants receive?
After a successful allocation, loan applicants may be eligible for the selected reward, such as Cash voucher $100, subject to platform confirmation.
Can loan applicants edit an application?
Loan applicants can continue editing a draft before submission. Once submitted, only one active loan application is allowed at a time.
Are lender bids binding?
Bids are indicative unless formally confirmed by the relevant bank or lender. Final approval, pricing, documentation, and terms remain subject to lender assessment.
