Loanpad is a financial technology entity that provides a user-friendly, lower-risk platform for investors to earn inflation-busting interest through shared short-term property loans. It argues that its portal shields customers from much of the risk of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending by partnering with established property lenders, who take on both higher risk and return. Investors can invest through Loanpad's Classic and/or Premium accounts (both ISA eligible). The Classic account pays 3% and allows daily withdrawals, while the Premium account pays 4% and requires a 60-day notice for withdrawals. Loanpad has over £22 million in funds under management, onboarded over 2,600 registered investors, and witnessed over 150% growth in loans through 2020. It is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). It will use the investment to boost marketing, further develop software capabilities, increase the size of its Interest Cover Fund (ICF), and invest in general working capital.
