Lendermarket Review

What is Lendermarket?

Lendermarket is a P2P platform from Dublin in Ireland, founded in 2015.

It is a sister company of Creditstar Group from Tallinn in Estonia.

That is why the vast majority of P2P loans are offered by loan brokers who are also part of Creditstar Group. Creditstar Group also offers its loans on Mintos.

Since its inception, the platform has funded more than 300 million worth of P2P loans, making it one of the mid-sized P2P platforms in Europe.

How does Lendermarket make money?

Lendermarket makes its money mainly through commissions charged by loan brokers.

Who owns Lendermarket?

Lendermarket is owned by SA Financial Investment OÜ, an Estonian umbrella company 100% owned by Aaro Sosaar, the CEO of Creditstar Group.

How safe (reputable) is Lendermarket? Is Lendermarket legal?

Lendermarket, inconveniently, is not officially regulated by any official financial market regulator, which typically leaves no doubt about its safety.

But the fact that the platform has successfully brokered loans on a very large scale and its affiliation with the established Creditstar Group speaks for its safety and legality.

That\'s why we rate Lendermarket as a safe platform.

How does Lendermarket work?

If you want to invest on Lendermarket, you first need to register online and then deposit money via a bank transfer.

With your first deposit via a standard bank transfer (SEPA) you also confirm the bank account to which withdrawals can be made.

After that you can start investing directly.

On Lendermarket you can choose to invest manually or automatically.

However, you can only invest on the primary market (initial issuance of loans), as unfortunately there is no secondary market (loans from other investors) offered.

How can I invest on Lendermarket?

You can choose every single loan you want to invest in on the platform.

Among other things, this makes sense if you are just starting to invest and don\'t want to wait for Auto Invest to invest for you.

Unfortunately, Lendermarket does not offer a secondary market in case there are not enough loans available on the primary market.

Lendermarket offers with Auto Invest a function that allows you to invest automatically.

The following settings are possible:

• Investment per loan,

• interest rate,

• maturity and

• countries.

Auto Invest is kept very slim and can be set up within a short time. With just a few clicks you can define in which loans you want to invest.
