What investors say about Maclear

How investing money on Maclear works

From registration to monthly interest, here is the full picture

01

Register and complete verification

Create your account, go through the required checks, and confirm your identity before funding your balance.

Verification is required for all investors. Investing money across several loans spreads the risk. The process follows internal screening policies to confirm your eligibility.

02

Fund your investment balance

Transfer euros to your Maclear balance via bank transfer. This balance does not earn interest and is not deposit-insured.

Your balance is for investing and withdrawals, not a protected bank account with deposit insurance. Learn how to start investing on Maclear in three simple steps.

03

Browse available business loans

Review each project's details including borrower rating, collateral type, loan-to-value ratio, term length, and target interest rate. Crowdfunding websites like Maclear list vetted business loans.

Each project receives an internal AAA to D rating. Lower LTV provides more collateral protection; higher LTV may yield greater interest.

04

Invest from €50 per loan

Choose how much to allocate per loan. Spreading your capital across multiple borrowers and geographies helps manage concentration risk.

Diversification does not eliminate risk but reduces your exposure if a single borrower defaults. Consider mixing loan types and regions.

05

Receive monthly interest payments

Interest is paid monthly into your balance. Principal is repaid at the end of the loan term, not during the life of the loan.

Monthly interest gives you regular cash flow. Principal repayment happens at maturity, so your invested capital stays locked until then.

06

Reinvest or withdraw your returns

When interest arrives or loans mature, you can reinvest into new projects or withdraw funds to your bank account.

Reinvesting can compound your returns over time, but remember that every new loan carries its own default and liquidity risk.

FAQ — how to invest money

Common questions about how to invest money

Maclear allows investors to start with just €50 per loan, making peer-to-peer lending accessible to those with modest capital. This low entry point enables diversification across multiple borrowers and geographies.

Interest accrues on each loan and is paid directly to your Maclear account every month. Withdrawals can be made at any time, though the settlement account itself earns no interest.

Every business loan on Maclear is collateralized, meaning borrowers pledge assets to secure the debt. The platform discloses collateral type and loan-to-value ratio for each project so investors can assess coverage.

Maclear offers target returns up to 16.5% per year, depending on the loan's risk profile and borrower rating. Higher-rated borrowers typically offer lower rates, while lower-rated loans come with higher potential returns.

Maclear applies an internal AAA-D rating system to evaluate each borrower's creditworthiness and risk level. This scoring guides investors in comparing loan opportunities and understanding potential default risk.

Your settlement account balance can be withdrawn at any time, but capital invested in active loans is locked until repayment or maturity. Early exits via secondary markets may be available depending on platform policies.

Maclear operates across the European Economic Area (EEA), connecting investors with vetted business loans in growing European markets. This geographic reach allows exposure to diverse economies and borrower bases.

The Maclear settlement account is not a bank account and carries no deposit insurance. Investors should understand this distinction and review the platform's risk disclosures before committing capital.

New investors must complete identity verification and screening checks to confirm eligibility. This process follows Maclear's internal policies and is required before you can fund or invest.

Spread investments across multiple borrowers, loan terms, geographies, and risk ratings to reduce concentration risk. While diversification does not eliminate risk entirely, it limits exposure if a single loan defaults.

Each project listing includes borrower rating, collateral type, loan-to-value ratio, term length, and target interest rate. These details help investors compare opportunities and make informed allocation decisions.

Monthly interest payments land in your balance, which you can redeploy into new loans immediately. This flexibility allows compound growth, though each new investment carries its own loan-specific terms and risks.

Loan terms, collateral arrangements, and recovery procedures are documented in each project's materials. Maclear's internal processes govern default handling, though collateral recovery and timing vary by situation.

Platform fees, deposit charges, and withdrawal costs should be reviewed in Maclear's terms and pricing schedule. Investors are advised to confirm all applicable fees before funding their account.
