LendingCrowd extend their £150 Cashback offer until the end of September… ReBuildingSociety also offer 4% pa Cashback on bids prior to auctions closing… Returns at Ratesetter are on the up.
Funding Circle will become AutoBid only in mid-September… Zopa reduces its forecasted rates of return due to an expected increase in defaults for unsecured consumer loans… The Secret Investor suffers his first loss on the FundingSecure platform.
Funding Circle have announced from Sept 18th investors will no longer be able to select what loans they invest in and must instead cede this decision to an AutoBid system
