Obelix, which is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a crowdfunding intermediary, on Friday marked 100 days of operations. In that time, Obelix-operated funding portal, monieworx, enabled three Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and raised N100 million from its retail investor community.
According to the Obelix, the portal has consistently paid interest to investors every Friday in this same period, in keeping with its proposition of weekly coupon payments. In addition, the 30-day and 45-day notes hosted on the portal have fully redeemed.
While returns on traditional investments are typically received monthly, quarterly and sometimes yearly, monieworx has introduced weekly interest payments. The increased frequency of payments gives investors greater control over their cashflow.
