Common Questions
P2P & ECF — FAQ
What happens if a business misses a repayment?
Alixco initiates a structured recovery process. Investor funds are held in a segregated trust account and are prioritised in the recovery. Please refer to our full risk disclosure for details.
Can I withdraw my investment early?
P2P investments are locked in until maturity. No secondary market currently exists. ECF equity stakes can only be realised at exit events such as a trade sale or IPO.
How much should I invest as a first-timer?
We recommend starting small (RM 200–2,000) across several campaigns to diversify. This helps you gain experience while limiting concentration risk.
Are interest earnings taxable in Malaysia?
P2P interest income may be subject to personal income tax. We recommend consulting a tax advisor. Your Alixco dashboard provides a full annual statement for tax reporting.
What is the difference between P2P and a bank loan?
Unlike bank loans, P2P financing on Alixco connects businesses directly with individual investors. The process is faster, requires no traditional collateral, and is fully digital — while remaining regulated by the Securities Commission Malaysia.
