About Maclear

Maclear AG is a Swiss P2P/P2B crowdlending platform that connects investors with vetted business borrowers. Investors purchase assigned loan claims and earn interest as borrowers repay. Maclear is not a bank and does not lend from its own balance sheet.

Transparency and risk disclosure

Crowdfunding through Maclear carries risks including borrower default, illiquidity, and platform failure. Investments lack deposit insurance or guaranteed returns, with potential total capital loss. Maclear follows KYC/AML standards through PolyReg SRO and Swiss law. EEA residents may access services per local regulations and tax requirements.

  • Full borrower financial data per loan
  • Monthly performance and default reports
  • Audited annual accounts published online
  • Clear fee schedule with no hidden charges
  • Loan contract and terms downloadable
  • Reserve fund balance visible to all users

Collateral and the Provision Fund help reduce certain risks, but do not eliminate investment risk.

Crowfonding questions answered

Crowfonding investors have achieved returns up to 16.5% per annum before defaults on assigned business loan claims. Average loan duration spans 12–36 months, with monthly instalments flowing directly to investor accounts on the platform.

Maclear conducts identity verification using Swiss AML procedures under PolyReg SRO affiliation. Investors upload ID and proof of address; compliance checks must clear before accessing loan projects or committing capital.

A reserve fund may cover overdue payments, though this is neither insurance nor a guarantee. Investors face potential total loss of capital; the reserve fund mitigates but does not eliminate default risk on assigned claims.

Yes, a secondary market allows claim holders to sell loans before maturity. Liquidity depends on buyer demand; claims may sell at a discount if the borrower's risk rating declines or market conditions shift.

Crowfonding projects accept commitments starting at €100 per loan. Once a project reaches full funding, capital transfers to the borrower and assigned claims begin generating monthly interest payments to investors.

Each loan listing displays the business purpose, term, interest rate, and a risk score assigned by Maclear's underwriting team. Only vetted business borrowers appear on the platform; vetting criteria emphasize transparent terms and loan fundamentals.
