    I'm a bit wary of MOGO at present, they seem to have a lot of defaults.

    What number is 'a lot'? Looking at my own stats and that on the mintos website, Mogo have a small percentage of defaults.

    Another cashback offer now available until mid Feb 2018. This time with Lendo. 1.5% cashback on loans 9 months or longer.

    The Mogo cashback offer is also still available until about mid Feb 2018. The mogo offer requires long investment periods though, starting at 4 years or more.

    Well, I have 38 loans with Mogo and 10 of them are late. That seemed a lot to me. Maybe I was just unlucky!

    I jumped on this for my GEL auto-invest - anything to get some kind of profit from the Lari weakening.

    Just something I came accross (lost the link) where some dude had analyzed results from some of the Mintos marketplace loan originators. Mogo is rated as one of the better Loan Originators on the Mintos marketplace whereas Lendo is rated as one of the worst.....

    I wonder why both are introducing 'sweetners'? is it just competition from other Originators ? or could this be a sign that they are desperately in need of fresh capital to keep paying out for the older underperforming loans.

    I have taken up a few of the gauranteed Lendo loans, very attractive 13.5% + 1.5% so 15% over 12 Months is excellent....but I am a little suspicious as to whats behind all of this.

    Here it is.

    I have noticed that the rate on loans has dropped for those included in the cashback offers. Perhaps it's cost neutral for them and gets new investors on board. Also locks in your funds for longer.

    That's the link, nice one Moose. :cool:

    Regarding the special offers, well a BBG loan @13.5% for 12 Months in Euro denomination is about as good as it currently gets on Mintos ....so Lendo have not dropped the rate.

    (I think 14% is actually the best I have ever seen on Mintos for BBG loans for a 12 Months duration).

    It must be something else :confused:

    Like I said earlier, maybe its competition (both from other Originators on Mintos and competition to Mintos from other P2P portals) , maybe its the fact that Lendo (in particular) might be vulnerable and investors need a sweetner to invest.... or else (please God, I'm wrong) one of these larger originators might be in trouble with liquidity.

    Very weird - in the last day or two I've had money removed from my account, with the comment 'Reversed late payment fee income'

    Anything to do with the Eurocent IT glitch they had recently? I wonder if as well as erroneously buying back the loans, did they also dish out late payment fees in error?

    "On December 29, 2017, Eurocent loans that have been delinquent for more than 60 days were incorrectly bought back due to an IT error."

    Just following up on this as I had some time to go through my loans tonight.
    I have just over 300 mogo loans and have about 30 between the 16-30 and 31-60 days late brackets.

    I have about 20 in the 1-15 days late bracket.

    Just over 200 banknote loans here, 15 (1-15 days), 5 (16-30 days) and 2 (31-60 days).

    Edit:
    85% of my Creamfinance loans are 16-60 days late.
    75% of my Capital Services loans are 16-60 days late.
    100% of my ID Finance loans are 16-60 days late.

    All buyback, so I am not particularly worried. I also keep an eye on the overall performance of a loan originator via the stats page on mintos.com I can only assume those stats are up-to-date.

    Anybody ever come accross a debit on their statement called


    "Correction of late payment fee amortisation"

    ?

    Noticed it and when I click into it, it refers to a number of Capitalia loans.

    It kinda looks like a claw back of late payment fees.

    Except the amount is actually larger than my late payments fees for the period in question.

    If anyone is interested, p2pindependentforum.com did an interview with the CEO of Mintos.

    Link to thread here. Link to interview here.

    Nothing interesting. Most of it already covered in the Mintos blog posts.

    Guys, I was just checking to see if I received my cash back from Lendo loans that I bought, can somebody tell me where I should see the cash back listed ?

    In Overview or Statement?

    Thanks Moose, knew it was somewhere in Statements but didn't think to click into 'Deposits'.

    Lendo Bonus is great for >9 Months loans. I often take 12 Months loans anyway, so its money for nothing for me :D

    I do have some reservations about Lendo themselves as a Loan originator and their reasoning for offering a cash back ..(as I have stated here already) but for now ... happy days :p

    It's now showing in Overview as Campaign Rewards in with the Interest, Late Payment Fees, etc. It must have only been done in the last few hours.

    Mintos has added two new loan originators recently. Varks.am in Armenia and RaiCredit.com in Columbia. Loan rates are ~13%.

    While it is great to see Mintos expand and diversity into other markets, is anyone concerned they are expanding too rapidly?
    I do not see any other p2p lender expanding as rapidly as Mintos. From my own research it looks like investors are pulling their funds out of other main stream p2p sites like Bondora and Twino.

    I would like to continue adding funds to mintos. The returns are great, ease of invest, website etc are excellent. However I cannot shake the niggling feeling of 'too good to be true'?

    Would welcome any thoughts?

    I recently got a bit "spooked" for want of a better word that I was too heavily invested in Mintos. I had >70% of my p2p investments in the site and I reduced it down to ~50%.

    However, the money I release, I placed into Twino, and I just cannot get the same return from Twino. So now I am thinking of reverting back !

    I had a similar moment recently and I am in the process of reducing my investment in Mintos also. I have recently started investing with dofinance and viainvest. They don't offer the same return but close enough for me. Would welcome any other suggestions.

    Same for me.
    I’m pulling out of Linked Finance so it was basically all Mintos for P2P. I’m trying Twino and Swaper, but finding my money is just sitting there not invested for days at a time. It still early days with both so I will give it a while more.

    Hi guys, I totally aggree, Mintos seems to be aggressively chasing growth ..... and I just hope thats not coming at the expense of quality of Originators/borrowers ?


    Mintos is an excellent investment portal and offers good returns.....but my personal feeling is that maybe I am too exposed to it at present (if, God forbid, there was ever a problem).


    I have P2P investments with Mintos, Twino & Dofinance ..... approx 80% though is with Mintos....soo I am now looking to spread that around more evenly.

    Spreading parts to Finbee, Robocash and grupeer to diversify more than any lack of faith in Mintos.

    Does grupeer only have 731 investors? That is a very small number of investors. Is that number correct?
