Risks you should know
P2P lending is not a bank deposit. You can lose part or all of the money you lend.
Default risk
A borrower may not repay on time or at all. This can reduce your returns or your principal.
Liquidity risk
You may not be able to take your money out before the loan or plan ends.
No guarantee
Returns are estimates. P2P is not covered like a bank deposit and the platform does not guarantee repayment.
Platform risk
The platform's processes, systems or business can fail or change. Check its regulatory status.
Concentration risk
Putting a large part of your money in P2P, or in few loans, raises your risk.
Tax and charges
Interest earned may be taxable, and platforms may charge fees. Check the terms and speak to a tax adviser.
