About peer-to-peer investing
You lend directly to borrowers through a platform that handles verification, payments, and collections. Returns come from the interest borrowers pay. Your capital is at risk if they default, which is why diversification across many loans matters.
What we show you upfront
Every loan listing includes the borrower's credit grade, purpose, term length, and interest rate. You see the platform's assessment and any security backing the loan. We publish default rates and recovery statistics monthly so you know what to expect historically.
- Live default and recovery rates
- Full loan performance data
- Borrower credit assessments
- Security and collateral details
- Fee breakdowns before you invest
- Secondary market pricing and volume
Collateral and the
Provision Fund help reduce certain risks, but do not eliminate investment risk.
Common questions about investing 10k
At typical peer-to-peer lending rates, a £10,000 investment generates between £40–80 monthly. Actual returns depend on loan selection, risk tier, and platform fees. Reinvesting those earnings accelerates compound growth significantly.
Spreading £10,000 across 20–50 loans minimizes exposure to individual defaults. Allocate £200–500 per loan and combine multiple borrowers with different sectors and risk ratings. This cushions your portfolio against concentrated losses.
Auto-invest platforms let you define risk tolerance and preferences once, then automatically deploy capital as loans match your criteria. This removes timing pressure and ensures consistent deployment without manual effort.
Mixing 6-month, 1-year, and 3-year loans ensures portions of capital return at regular intervals. Staggered maturities let you reinvest, withdraw, or rebalance without waiting for all funds to unlock simultaneously.
Allocating 60% to A-rated loans, 30% to B-rated, and 10% to higher-yield opportunities balances steady returns with growth potential. This structure reduces volatility while capturing returns across the risk spectrum.
Reserving 20–30% of your portfolio for resale-eligible loans preserves flexibility if circumstances change. Secondary market access lets you exit positions early without locking capital in full terms.
