Frequently Asked Questions
What is Bridger?
Bridger is a DFSA-regulated, Sharia-compliant loan-based crowdfunding platform operating from the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). We connect property lenders and expats seeking short-term property finance with a diverse pool of lenders looking for secured, high-return opportunities in the UAE real estate market.
Who can invest through Bridger?
Our platform is open to both Retail Lenders and Professional Clients (such as family offices and institutional lenders). We provide access to secured, short-term property investments with attractive returns. For Retail Lenders, specific investment limits apply as mandated by the DFSA.
What returns can lenders expect?
Lenders can typically expect to earn a net return of around 10% per annum on their deployed capital. Borrowers are generally charged a profit rate between 12-15% per annum, from which Bridger deducts a 3% annual management fee.
Are the loans secured?
Yes, all loans facilitated through Bridger are robustly secured. Each loan is backed by a first charge security on the underlying UAE property asset (similar to a mortgage) and a post-dated cheque from the borrower. This robust collateral significantly mitigates risk for lenders.
How are borrowers approved?
We employ a rigorous approval process involving AI-powered underwriting and comprehensive due diligence. This includes verifying the borrower’s identity, assessing their creditworthiness, reviewing financial statements, and obtaining independent valuation reports for the collateral property to ensure it meets our conservative Loan-to-Value (LTV) criteria (max 65%).
Is investing risky?
Yes, investing through any crowdfunding platform carries inherent risks, and your capital is at risk. While Bridger implements robust security measures (secured loans, conservative LTV) and operates under DFSA regulation to mitigate risks, lenders may lose all or part of their money or experience delays in being paid. We provide comprehensive risk disclosures and require explicit acknowledgment of these risks before you invest, ensuring you make informed decisions. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
