About Maclear

Maclear is a Swiss P2P/B2B crowdlending platform connecting investors with vetted business borrowers and projects. Investments involve borrower default risk, liquidity risk, platform risk and possible loss of capital.

Platform transparency

Maclear operates under Swiss law with AML/KYC supervision via PolyReg SRO. We are not a bank and do not lend from our own balance sheet. Investors finance loans by purchasing assigned loan claims — returns are not guaranteed.

  • Full project documentation before you invest
  • Borrower credit scoring and risk grades
  • Real-time portfolio performance tracking
  • Transparent fee structure with no hidden costs
  • Regular updates on funded projects
  • Public default and recovery statistics

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

Common questions about investing

P2P lending platforms connect investors directly with borrowers, allowing lenders to earn interest on their capital. Returns typically range from 6-16% depending on borrower risk profile and loan term, with investors receiving payments as borrowers repay principal and interest.

Savings keep money in low-yield accounts for security, while investment deploys capital into growth assets like stocks, bonds, or loans. Investments aim to generate returns above inflation rates through price appreciation or income generation over medium to long timeframes.

Spreading capital across different asset classes—stocks, bonds, real estate, and peer-to-peer loans—reduces the impact of poor performance in any single investment. This strategy protects against market downturns while maintaining exposure to varied growth opportunities.

Yes. While cash savings lose purchasing power as inflation rises, investments in stocks (7-10% annual returns), real estate (8-12%), and bonds (3-5%) typically outpace inflation over time. P2P lending at 6-16% can also exceed inflation, preserving and growing wealth.

Investment time horizon determines asset selection and risk tolerance. Longer horizons support higher-volatility growth investments, while shorter timeframes call for stable income-producing assets. P2P platforms serve various horizons through loans ranging from months to years.

Start by defining financial goals, assessing risk tolerance, and building an emergency fund. Begin with diversified positions across accessible asset classes—stocks, bonds, and P2P loans offer varying risk-return profiles. Monitor performance quarterly and adjust allocations as circumstances change.
