Review of the Invest & Fund, Lenders:

View on product page

Nice site, but not a lot going on. No cryptocurrency allowed.

Invest&Fund is a very basic investing site with few options and little traffic. With few loans open for investing (zero at the time of posting) and very few notes on sale, there are far more active places online. Currency only, no cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 15th April 2016

Reply from Invest & Fund Hi RedBlack, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review; we’re glad you like our site design. We apologise if you could not find the loans you were looking for - but we can assure you that we have a number of new Borrower applications in the pipeline which should be available to lend to soon. We would also like to make you aware of our Resale Marketplace, a place where Lenders can buy and sell loan parts which have already been successfully funded on our Lending Marketplace. At the time of writing we have a number of loans that are for sale. In regard to cryptocurrency – unfortunately, we cannot facilitate this on our platform at the moment and we have no immediate plans to put this in place. However, we constantly review the accessibility of our system and your comments have been passed on. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us on [email protected] or 01424 717564. Kind regards, Invest & Fund Response date: 12th May 2016

Review of the Saving Stream, Peer Lending:

Professional Site, but few investment opportunities

SavingStream is one of the few sites I have seen has full coverage in case of defaulted loans. Sadly, it doesn't have many loans going on with zero available at the time of posting. It is also all bank transfer with no cryptocurreny options. Reviewed on: 15th April 2016

Review of the Lending Works, Personal Loans:

UK only and bank account required!

Even though it looks nice and professional, I quickly found out this site is UK only! I wish I had found this out before getting most of the way down the sign up page. It also requires a bank account which is unusual for bitcoin lending sites. Reviewed on: 15th April 2016

Review of the StemFund, Bitcoin Peer to Peer Lending:

View on product page

Barebones but clean

Stemfund is a very simple site with few options, few pages and little going on. This does make investing easy, however, if you're looking to do anything else you will be out of luck! I do like that they have a clear "defaulted loans" list to help weed out bad borrowers. This is a very nice thing for any site to have. Reviewed on: 15th April 2016

Review of the BTCPOP, P2P Bitcoin:

View on product page

Garish site, but good services.

I joined BtcPop looking for a replacement for a different peer to peer lending site. My first impression was shock at all the bright colors and buttons! Once I adjusted to the garishness, I quickly found that BtcPop has a lot of features my old site didn't offer ranging from savings accounts to IPO investing. There have been glitches and growing pains involved, but so far nothing has caused me to lose money. I guess glitches are the cost of being on a Beta site. Overall, despite the glitches, garishness, and difficulty in navigation, I have been happy with BtcPop and am looking forward to seeing how it grows as it leaves Beta and hits it's stride.
