New P2P platforms
Why invest with new and startup P2P platforms? There are three reasons. Interest rates are often higher than for established platforms. Some offer very attractive sign up bonuses which can significantly boost returns. They can also help to diversify a portfolio by offering loans in locations that are hard to find elsewhere, or have features that are unique. A capital allocation to these platforms, as part of a larger investment portfolio can make sense for many investors.
