What is the Ecommerce Funder?

The Ecommerce Funder is a joint partnership between EXIM Bank and JMEA (Jamaica Manufacturers and Exporters Association). The Ecommerce Funder is a funding solution that provides business loans to the productive sector, SMEs who are web-based merchants (shops) or wish to become. The loan supports online sellers to grow, covers marketing expenses, and increases sales.

Online sellers use Ecommerce funding to stabilize the cash flow and cope with payment obligations.  Ecommerce sales have surged in the past years. The current pandemic led to many retail shops being unable to sell thru regular channels.
