Investors who have been approved as a verified account can start their investment journey by subscribing to available debt crowdfunding notes via their dashboard. Investors can click on any debt crowdfunding note available at that time and review the issuer’s Factsheet which displays key information about each issuer such as business description, industry, purpose of the usage of fund, Investree’s credit rating, interest rate, offering period of the note, financial statement, key financial ratio, issuance history with Investree among other information disclosed by the issuer.

The issuance of any debt crowdfunding note is considered complete if (1) 80% of issuance amount has been subscribed within the offering period, or (2) 100% if the issuance amount is fully subscribed before the offering period ends (Early Closing). In the case of Early Closing, Investree will email to inform investors who subscribed to the note about the early closing, new offering period, and allow investors the opportunity to cancel their subscription at any time up to 48 hours before new offering period ends. In case the issuance is incomplete or unsuccessful, Investree will instruct the custodian bank to return the subscription payment back to investors immediately. Issuance of debt crowdfunding note is considered incomplete or unsuccessful if subscription of the note is less than 80% of the issuance amount within the offering period or Investree halts the offering due to valid concerns that the issuer may have submitted false or misleading information, or omitted certain material information that should have been disclosed to investors (Fraud Prevention).

Investors should study the issuer’s information carefully and not rely on the credit rating in making the investment decision. Please note that by investing in debt crowdfunding note, investors do not have right to claim for loss under the Securities Exchange Act B.E. 2535 in case where issuer of the note discloses misleading or false information, or fails to disclose material information.
