According to the company, \u20ac3.9 million had been financed through more than 110 lease agreements by early September.<\/p>\n<p>The loans are secured by the vehicles themselves, which remain the property of Aiffin throughout the entire term. In the event of a default, a buyback obligation kicks in after 60 days, covering the outstanding principal plus accrued interest.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the most recent additions, financial figures are not yet available, and there is also no information on equity or profitability.

The annual report was audited by Azets Audit Services Ireland and prepared in accordance with Irish accounting standards. At the platform level, the year looks strong. The financed volume more than doubled to \u20ac137 million, while the actively managed portfolio increased from \u20ac34.1 million to \u20ac62.9 million.<\/p>\n<p>The financial figures, however, paint a different picture. Despite the doubling in volume, revenue increased by only 6.5% to \u20ac1.46 million. At the same time, administrative expenses rose by 50% to \u20ac2.47 million, mainly due to higher personnel costs (+58%) and advertising expenses (+75%). The annual loss therefore nearly quadrupled to \u20ac1.12 million, while accumulated losses have now reached \u20ac2.61 million.<\/p>\n<p>Despite doubling its volume, the platform remains dependent on financial support from its parent company, which was also expressed as a going-concern warning by the auditor. In 2025, equity increased only because the parent company, SA Financial Investments, subscribed to new shares worth \u20ac1.54 million.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"rrn-btns\"><a class=\"rrn-btn rrn-btn--source\" href=\"https:\/\/assets.lendermarket.com\/docs\/Lendermarket-Annual-Report-2025.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" onclick=\"event.stopPropagation()\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M4 2h5.5L12 4.5V14H4V2z\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.2\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><path d=\"M9 2v3h3\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.2\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><path d=\"M6 7h4M6 9.5h4M6 12h2.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/><\/svg>Source<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rrn-card\" onclick=\"this.classList.toggle('open')\"><svg class=\"rrn-chevron\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M4 6l4 4 4-4\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><\/svg><div class=\"rrn-date\">27.

Unlike the classic Auto Invest, it allows investors to request an early exit, enabling part or all of their portfolio to be liquidated before the underlying loans reach maturity.<\/p>\r\n<p>The early exit is facilitated through so-called &#8220;replacement funding&#8221;, meaning the loans must be financed by other investors. As a result, early withdrawals are entirely dependent on investor demand. If there is insufficient demand from other investors, the loans cannot be sold before maturity. If the loans are successfully sold, Lendermarket charges a flat fee of 3.5% of the amount paid out.<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Buyback Guarantee<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>Similar to many other <a href=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/en\/p2p-platform-comparison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>P2P platforms<\/strong><\/a>, Lendermarket promotes a loan protection mechanism in the form of a buyback guarantee.<\/p>\r\n<p>This guarantee is triggered when a loan is more than 60 days overdue.

This means that a loan with an original term of 30 days could theoretically be repaid only 240 days later (60 days until the buyback guarantee is triggered + 180 days of possible extensions). Since there is no secondary market on Lendermarket, this can significantly limit liquidity for investors.<\/p>\r\n<p>To date, the buyback guarantee has always been honored.<\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<h2><strong>Lendermarket Taxes<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Generally, interest income generated by loan financing is considered capital income and thus must be declared as such in the tax declaration.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Unlike other platforms, Lendermarket does not withhold taxes through interest income such as in Latvia or Lithuania.<\/p>\r\n<p>For the tax declaration, investors can select the &#8220;Account Statement&#8221; tab in the main menu, where a tax report for the respective year can be downloaded.

This enables the platform to offer its services across the EU under a unified regulatory framework, without requiring a separate authorisation in each member state.<\/p>\r\n<p>Unlike MiFID II-regulated platforms, investors have no entitlement to compensation through an investor compensation scheme. Loan defaults or a potential insolvency of loan originators are also not covered by the regulation.<\/p>\r\n<p>The ECSP regulation does, however, prohibit platforms from listing projects connected to affiliated companies or insiders. Through its regulatory status, Lendermarket is also required to meet a high standard of compliance and transparency, including the publication of audited financial reports.<\/p>\r\n<h4>Segregation of Funds and Deposit Protection<\/h4>\r\n<p>The ECSP licence requires Lendermarket to maintain a strict separation between investor funds and the company&#8217;s own operating funds. For this purpose, the platform works with FIRE Financial Services, an e-money institution authorised by the FCA and regulated by the Irish Central Bank. This means that in the event of Lendermarket ceasing operations, investors retain full access to their funds and loan repayments can continue in an orderly manner.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Einlagensicherung-Lendermarket-Review-Deposit-Insurance-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29687 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Einlagensicherung-Lendermarket-Review-Deposit-Insurance-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025.png\" alt=\"Lendermarket-Review-Deposit-Insurance\" width=\"1200\" height=\"254\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Einlagensicherung-Lendermarket-Review-Deposit-Insurance-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025.png 1200w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Einlagensicherung-Lendermarket-Review-Deposit-Insurance-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025-300x64.png 300w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Einlagensicherung-Lendermarket-Review-Deposit-Insurance-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025-1024x217.png 1024w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Einlagensicherung-Lendermarket-Review-Deposit-Insurance-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025-768x163.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/254;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29687\" src=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Einlagensicherung-Lendermarket-Review-Deposit-Insurance-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025.png\" alt=\"Lendermarket-Review-Deposit-Insurance\" width=\"1200\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Einlagensicherung-Lendermarket-Review-Deposit-Insurance-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025.png 1200w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Einlagensicherung-Lendermarket-Review-Deposit-Insurance-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025-300x64.png 300w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Einlagensicherung-Lendermarket-Review-Deposit-Insurance-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025-1024x217.png 1024w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Einlagensicherung-Lendermarket-Review-Deposit-Insurance-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025-768x163.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>Investments offered through Lendermarket are not covered by a national or European deposit guarantee scheme.

According to its 2025 annual report, the P2P lending platform recorded a loss of approximately \u20ac1.12 million. While revenue increased slightly to \u20ac1.46 million (+6.5%), operating and administrative expenses grew disproportionately, particularly personnel costs (+58%) and advertising expenses (+75%).<\/p>\r\n<p>As a result, accumulated losses have now reached \u20ac2.61 million. On the positive side, the equity position was slightly improved through a \u20ac1.54 million capital injection from the shareholders.<\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<h3>Lender Risk<\/h3>\r\n<p>Lendermarket evaluates each of its lenders against several criteria. The platform also provides a public <a href=\"https:\/\/lendermarket.com\/lendermarket-risk-rating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>risk rating<\/strong><\/a>, in which loan originators are analyzed across four categories: transparency, legal environment, financial stability, and transactions.<\/p>\r\n<p>Regardless of Lendermarket\u2019s due diligence, investors should also review the financial statements of the respective lenders themselves, which are published on the platform.

One factor is the frequent use of extension periods, which can significantly limit investor liquidity.<\/p>\r\n<p>Creditstar Group companies are not required to repay loans immediately after a 60-day delinquency under the buyback guarantee. Instead, they can extend the repayment six times, each for 30 days. For a loan with a 30-day term, this means it could potentially be repaid up to 240 days later (60 days until the buyback guarantee + 180 days of extension).<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Ausstehende-Zahlungen-Lendermarket-Review-Pending-Payments-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29691 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Ausstehende-Zahlungen-Lendermarket-Review-Pending-Payments-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025.png\" alt=\"Lendermarket-Review-Pending-Payments\" width=\"1200\" height=\"412\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Ausstehende-Zahlungen-Lendermarket-Review-Pending-Payments-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025.png 1200w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Ausstehende-Zahlungen-Lendermarket-Review-Pending-Payments-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025-300x103.png 300w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Ausstehende-Zahlungen-Lendermarket-Review-Pending-Payments-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025-1024x352.png 1024w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Ausstehende-Zahlungen-Lendermarket-Review-Pending-Payments-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025-768x264.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/412;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29691\" src=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Ausstehende-Zahlungen-Lendermarket-Review-Pending-Payments-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025.png\" alt=\"Lendermarket-Review-Pending-Payments\" width=\"1200\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Ausstehende-Zahlungen-Lendermarket-Review-Pending-Payments-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025.png 1200w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Ausstehende-Zahlungen-Lendermarket-Review-Pending-Payments-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025-300x103.png 300w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Ausstehende-Zahlungen-Lendermarket-Review-Pending-Payments-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025-1024x352.png 1024w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lendermarket-Erfahrungen-Ausstehende-Zahlungen-Lendermarket-Review-Pending-Payments-Lendermarket-Opiniones-Lendermarket-Avis-2025-768x264.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>Another long-standing issue on the Lendermarket platform is the presence of Pending Payments.<\/p>\r\n<p>Essentially, these are funds that are in the process of being transferred to the investor\u2019s account. The reason behind this is that claims against the lenders are handled in batch processes, where investments and repayments are offset against each other, and only the net difference is transferred. As a result, investor payouts are shown as \u201cPending Payments\u201d until the lender\u2019s payment has actually been received.<\/p>\r\n<p>Given the frequency and volume of Pending Payments, and taking into account the applied extension periods, it is difficult to dismiss the liquidity issues on the part of Creditstar companies. Additionally, the fact that investors can reinvest funds that have not yet been returned should also be seen as a critical point.<\/p>\r\n<p>At least: In October 2025, the platform announced that <a href=\"https:\/\/lendermarket.com\/lendermarket-1-0-platform-sunsets-as-all-pending-payments-are-resolved\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>all outstanding payments had been settled<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<h2><strong>Advantages and Disadvantages<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>In this section, I have listed the most important advantages and disadvantages of Lendermarket.<\/p>\r\n\n    <div style=\"border:1px solid #c8c8c8;border-radius:8px;overflow:hidden;margin:1.5rem 0;background:#ffffff;box-shadow:0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.10);\">\n      <div style=\"background:#f7f7f7;padding:14px 20px;border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0;\">\n        <div style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;\">\n          <div style=\"width:4px;height:20px;background:#0aad27;border-radius:2px;flex-shrink:0;\"><\/div>\n          <span style=\"font-weight:700;\">Advantages<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div style=\"padding:12px 20px 16px;\">\r\n\n    <div style=\"display:flex;gap:10px;align-items:flex-start;padding:8px 0;border-top:none;\">\n      <span style=\"flex-shrink:0;line-height:1.6;\">\u2705<\/span>\n      <span style=\"display:block;margin:0;line-height:1.6;\"><strong>Track Record:<\/strong> Operational since 2019<\/span>\n    <\/div>\r\n\n    <div style=\"display:flex;gap:10px;align-items:flex-start;padding:8px 0;border-top:1px solid #f0f0f0;\">\n      <span style=\"flex-shrink:0;line-height:1.6;\">\u2705<\/span>\n      <span style=\"display:block;margin:0;line-height:1.6;\"><strong>Regulation:<\/strong> License holder under the EU Crowdfunding Regulation (ECSP)<\/span>\n    <\/div>\r\n\n    <div style=\"display:flex;gap:10px;align-items:flex-start;padding:8px 0;border-top:1px solid #f0f0f0;\">\n      <span style=\"flex-shrink:0;line-height:1.6;\">\u2705<\/span>\n      <span style=\"display:block;margin:0;line-height:1.6;\"><strong>Investor Funds:<\/strong> Legally supervised separation of investor and company funds<\/span>\n    <\/div>\r\n\n    <div style=\"display:flex;gap:10px;align-items:flex-start;padding:8px 0;border-top:1px solid #f0f0f0;\">\n      <span style=\"flex-shrink:0;line-height:1.6;\">\u2705<\/span>\n      <span style=\"display:block;margin:0;line-height:1.6;\"><strong>Portfolio Quality:<\/strong> Sustainably low default rate (&lt;

In recent years though, investors had to pay a high price for these yields.<\/p>\r\n<p>The platform operated in an unregulated environment, offered limited transparency in many areas, and liquidity was heavily constrained by extension periods and pending payments. In addition, management stability was lacking for years, and external communication also left room for improvement.<\/p>\r\n<p>In recent years, however, a positive transformation can be observed. In December 2024, Lendermarket obtained a license from the Central Bank of Ireland to operate under the EU Crowdfunding Regulation. Pending payments have been settled, key management positions are now more stable, and transparency (though not yet perfect) has improved significantly.<\/p>\r\n<p>Who should consider investing on the platform?<\/p>\r\n<p>Investors seeking high returns from mature and profitable lenders such as Credifiel and Creditstar should consider Lendermarket as a good investment option. Those who prioritize liquidity more strongly should consider to join the Creditstar spin-off, <a href=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/en\/monefit-smartsaver-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Monefit SmartSaver<\/strong><\/a>, instead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<h3><strong>Lendermarket Alternatives<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>Already invested in Lendermarket? Or looking for similar platforms? Here are three Lendermarket alternatives from the P2P market.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Bondora:<\/strong> One of the oldest P2P platforms in Europe with a track record dating back to 2008. Similar to Lendermarket, Bondora is backed by its own parent company with long-standing experience in the lending business. Investors that appreciate the simplicity of Lendermarket will find a similarly straightforward investment product in <a href=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/en\/bondora-go-and-grow-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Bondora Go &amp; Grow<\/strong><\/a>, with the added benefit of daily liquidity. More information in my <a href=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/en\/bondora-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Bondora review<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Income Marketplace:<\/strong> An unregulated P2P marketplace headquartered in Estonia, which markets itself through innovative security features that are designed to protect investors from underperforming loan originators. Compared to Lendermarket, Income Marketplace offers a broader selection of international loan originators and an attractive combination of high interest rates and high liquidity. More information in my <a href=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/en\/income-marketplace-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Income Marketplace review<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Monefit SmartSaver:<\/strong> An investment product of the Creditstar Group, the parent company behind Lendermarket. Headquartered in Estonia and conceptually very similar to Bondora Go &amp; Grow. Investors that value the Creditstar connection but prefer a simpler and more liquid investment format will find an interesting alternative in Monefit SmartSaver, with daily availability.
