Compare P2P personal loans
Personal loans are the most common type of P2P loan available in both the UK and Across Europe. most lenders offer features that reduce risk for investors. Many lenders offer ‘buyback guarantees’, which means that they will repurchase loans from investors that default. Some others offer products that allows investors to diversify their risk across several hundred different loans, which reduces the impact of any individual loan defaulting.

 | Europe | 12% | Lendermarket is a new site that has been setup by Creditstar. Creditstar has been one of our highest rated lenders on Mintos for a long time. Rates are 12% which we think is good relative to the quality of the lending group providing the buyback guarantee. | 1% | Visit Lendermarket |
 | Europe | 12% | Peerberry offers returns with buyback guarantee, a slick website, backed by a profitable lending group. Has recently started to offer loans from other lenders | Our interview with CEO | |
 | Europe | 8-12% | DoFinance offers a simple and easy to use site, from a Polish lending group. All loans come with buyback guarantees on all defaulted loans, and investors sell all loans back at 14 or 28 days notice, depending on the product chosen | Our interview with the founders | |
 | Europe | 5-15% | We've been really impressed by the strong growth and success Iuvo has shown over the last 12 months. It continues to grow the number of loan originators on the site (currently 8). It reports an average return of around 9% so far. Another thing that impresses us is the quality of loan originators and the quality of financial information they provide. Definitely worth considering. | Visit Iuvo Group | |
 | Europe & Russia | 11-14% | Robo.cash is a fairly small site but it offers market leading returns for loans with buyback guarantees and is backed by a profitable lending group | Our interview with CEO | |
 | Europe | 10-12% | VIAINVEST offers loans from 4 European countries. All loans come with a buyback guarantee. Simple site that works well. Run by a profitable company with a decent track record | Our interview with CEO | |
 | Finland | 14% | Fellow Finance focuses mainly on personal loans in Finland. They have recently improved their website and now better cater to English speaking investors. Fellow Finance reports that most investors have been making returns of between 6 & 9% after default losses. The positives to us are mainly geographic - Finland is a safe country to invest. The downside is that there is no buyback guarantee so this will suit more sophisticated P2P investors. | Visit Fellow Finance | |
 | Europe | 10% | Twino is one of the largest and more established European sites. They have had a difficult journey so far, although their financial results are improving. The site works well. Heavy exposure to Russia now. | More about Twino | |
 | Europe | 31% | Bondora is one of the largest and longer running European P2P sites. Returns reported by Bondora are very strong, although some have not earned the returns they were expecting. Bondora is a site that gives investors several options and is best suited for sophisticated investors looking to take higher risk for higher returns. | €5 | Visit Bondora |
 | Lithuania | 14-25% | NEO Finance is the P2P investment arm of the Lithuanian lender Paskolu Klubas. The platform has been operating since 2016 and holds authorisations from the Bank of Lithuania. NEO Finance offers traditional personal loans with typical rates of around 18% and terms of 48 months. The platform will buyback defaulted loans at their expected future recovery level which is between 50-80% of outstanding balance. NEO Finance guides investors to expect net returns of between 11 to 15% after defaults. | €40 | Visit NEO Finance |
 | UK | 2.7-4.8% | Ratesetter is a large British P2P investment site, that has high volumes invested through it each month. A provision fund is in place to cover higher loss levels (although we think it should be larger). Ratesetter is a good option for investors looking to invest only on a short term basis, but earn a higher return than a bank deposit | £100 | Read review |
 | Lithuania | 13-27% | Finbee is a small site that offers personal loans at fairly high interest rates. There are no 'buyback guarantees'. While rates are fairly high, some loan grades have had high default rates. Most suitable for sophisticated investors who like to invest on multiple sites, and are happy to take some extra risk. | Visit Lenndy | |
 | Slovakia | 6-25% | Zlty Melon is a well established, but quirky site based in Slovakia. A long established platform. Some high returns can be found in their personal loans if willing to take a little risk. However, we don't think their mortgage products make sense for most investors | +1% | Our interview with Zlty Melon |
 | Europe | 12-14% | Lenndy is slightly rough around the edges and needs more development, but it is worth monitoring as it is one of the few multi-lender European P2P sites, and the returns available are strong | Visit Lenndy | |
 | Europe | 14% | Grupeer offers loans from more than 10 lenders. Most loans have buyback guarantees and have high rates (around 14%), but are at the higher end of the P2P investment risk spectrum | +1% | Visit Grupeer |
 | Germany | 4-10% | One of the largest European P2P platforms, which offers German personal loans. Investors must have a German bank account. Worth considering if you are German, want to invest with an established site, and are cautious about P2P | Visit Auxmoney | |
 | Europe | 12% | Fixura claims to generate net 10% returns for investors. Beware of their fee structure though, which we don't think is that appealing for investors | Visit Fixura | |
 | UK | 4.5-6% | Lending Works requires investors to invest for either 3 or 5 years. We think there are better options in British P2P currently | Visit Lending Works |
