Our take
Lendable competes with banks, other marketplace lenders, and consumer finance companies to provide loans to consumers, small businesses, and property developers. Last year the UK marketplace lenders loaned £7.3bn in total.
Lendable believes it can win in this crowded field due to its market-best customer service and its strong financials. Unlike Zopa, RateSetter, or Lending Works, their funding comes from institutional investors.
It originates and services the loans on behalf of institutional investors, but does not hold them on its own balance sheet.
Growing insolvencies will worry all marketplace lending platforms, but Lendable looks well placed to weather any credit storm given their substantial debt financing.
