Just two points separate first and third place. Hoovi and Virtus narrowly reach the &#8220;stable&#8221; band, while ITF stays one point short in the &#8220;moderate&#8221; band.<\/p>\n<p>Only lending companies that have presented an audited annual report for the financial year 2025 were considered for this ranking. Of the thirteen companies evaluated on Income Marketplace, only six meet that condition. Three of them are in the ranking, the other three being Autofino with 62 points, One Leasing with 32 points and Danabijak, for which no total score can be calculated because the report contains no usable figures on defaults.<\/p>\n<p>Two further points should be kept in mind. First: The score assesses the financial substance of the lending companies based on their balance sheets. It does not assess how reliably a lending company has honoured its buyback obligation, nor how high its Junior Share on Income is. Second: Whether a lending company is actually offering loans on the marketplace at any given moment changes constantly and is not a ranking criterion.<\/p>\n<p>In plain terms: This ranking shows you which Income Marketplace loan originators are the most solid on paper and can prove it. It is not an investment recommendation and no substitute for your own due diligence. Even the best lending company on Income Marketplace remains a high-risk investment.<\/p>\n<p>Extensive information on the P2P platform itself is available in my <a href=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/en\/income-marketplace-review\/\">Income Marketplace Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_67_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/en\/income-marketplace-lending-companies\/#The_Best_Income_Marketplace_Lending_Companies_Current_Top_3\" title=\"The Best Income Marketplace Lending Companies: Current Top 3\">The Best Income Marketplace Lending Companies: Current Top 3<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/en\/income-marketplace-lending-companies\/#How_This_Ranking_Is_Compiled\" title=\"How This Ranking Is Compiled\">How This Ranking Is Compiled<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/en\/income-marketplace-lending-companies\/#1_Hoovi_Estonia_71_Points\" title=\"1.

Each lending company is graded on six balance sheet criteria: reporting (audit quality and accounting standard), profitability (profit pattern over two years), return on assets, equity ratio, liquidity and portfolio quality (risk costs relative to lending income).<\/p>\n<p>Each criterion has a scale from 1 to 5 and is weighted with its own coefficient.

KPMG Baltics audited the accounts under IFRS with an unqualified opinion, which earns Hoovi full marks on reporting. To understand these figures, however, it matters that 2025 is Hoovi&#8217;s first IFRS year. The transition from Estonian accounting rules retroactively pushed equity as at 31 December 2024 down from \u20ac995,000 to \u20ac81,000 and halved the prior-year profit. In plain terms: the company looked considerably stronger under the local standard than it actually was.<\/p>\n<p>The weak point is the capital base. At 6.5%, the equity ratio sits in the second-lowest grade. The ratio of net debt to equity also stands at 14 to 1. Hoovi itself steers by a different metric: equity plus subordinated loans are meant to account for at least 20% of the loan portfolio (28% is reported). That buffer, however, consists largely of shareholder loans rather than genuine equity.<\/p>\n<p>Risk costs of 15.6% of lending income sit in the middle grade. What is notable here is a judgement call that Hoovi discloses in the notes: when calculating expected credit losses, a cap is applied to the loss rate, derived from an offer by a portfolio buyer. This cap reduces the recognised loss allowance by \u20ac542,000, which corresponds to around 56% of total equity.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Virtus_Lending_Kosovo_70_Points\"><\/span>2. Virtus Lending (Kosovo): 70 Points<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Virtus Lending was founded in November 2017 in Prishtina and received its leasing licence from the Central Bank of Kosovo in March 2019, with a lending licence following in June 2022. The business accordingly consists of two parts: finance leasing for used cars, where the vehicle serves as collateral, and unsecured consumer loans to private individuals.<\/p>\n<p>The report for the 2025 financial year was audited by BDO Kosova under IFRS with an unqualified opinion and without any auditor&#8217;s remarks on going concern uncertainties. Operationally it was a year of growth for Virtus Lending: interest income rose by 61% to \u20ac2.2 million, profit from \u20ac237,000 to \u20ac372,000 and total assets from \u20ac8.5 million to \u20ac14.0 million.<\/p>\n<p>On portfolio quality, the income statement paints a too friendly picture at first glance. The loss allowance recognised is only \u20ac60,082, which would correspond to around 2.6% of lending income. In reality, management wrote off a batch of old lease receivables worth \u20ac111,884 in 2025. That write-off, however, does not sit in the loss allowance line but in other expenses, while the corresponding allowance was released within the loss allowance line. Adding the realised loss back, risk costs come to 7.6% and therefore to the second-best grade.<\/p>\n<p>The weaknesses are on the funding side. Of \u20ac11.9 million in financial liabilities, around \u20ac10.6 million falls due within twelve months. Against that stand \u20ac5.1 million in current assets. Operating cash flow came to minus \u20ac3.7 million. Growth was therefore financed entirely through new borrowing.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_ITF_Group_Bulgaria_69_Points\"><\/span>3. ITF Group (Bulgaria): 69 Points<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>ITF Group has been on Income Marketplace since July 2022, making it the longest-serving lending company in the top 3. Founded in 2012, the Bulgarian company issues short-term loans and instalment loans under the smilecredit and GetCash brands, is registered with the Bulgarian National Bank as a non-bank financial institution and has been listed with its shares on the BEAM segment of the Bulgarian Stock Exchange since January 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Operationally, 2025 was a strong year. Profit rose by 52% to \u20ac2.8 million, while total assets grew by half to \u20ac30.3 million. The equity ratio (29.8%) and the liquidity ratio (1.61) also sit solidly in the upper half of the scale. Ecovis Audit Bulgaria audited the accounts under IFRS with an unqualified opinion.<\/p>\n<p>That it still only comes to 69 points is down to a single criterion: portfolio quality. Risk costs stand at 43.6% of lending income and therefore in the worst grade. In plain terms: of every euro ITF earns in its lending business, 44 cents go back out for impairments and losses from the sale of non-performing receivables. Of the current retail receivables, 61% are in Stage 3 and have therefore already defaulted, and across the entire loan book just under a third of the gross portfolio is provisioned.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/P2P-Kredite-Bulgarien-2026-ITF-Group-JSC.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31206 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/P2P-Kredite-Bulgarien-2026-ITF-Group-JSC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"511\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/P2P-Kredite-Bulgarien-2026-ITF-Group-JSC.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/P2P-Kredite-Bulgarien-2026-ITF-Group-JSC-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/P2P-Kredite-Bulgarien-2026-ITF-Group-JSC-1024x436.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/P2P-Kredite-Bulgarien-2026-ITF-Group-JSC-768x327.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/511;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31206\" src=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/P2P-Kredite-Bulgarien-2026-ITF-Group-JSC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/P2P-Kredite-Bulgarien-2026-ITF-Group-JSC.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/P2P-Kredite-Bulgarien-2026-ITF-Group-JSC-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/P2P-Kredite-Bulgarien-2026-ITF-Group-JSC-1024x436.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/P2P-Kredite-Bulgarien-2026-ITF-Group-JSC-768x327.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In February 2026, I happened to be in the Bulgarian capital Sofia and, among other things, visited ITF Group there.

Virtus Lending is one point behind and ITF Group two. The score measures financial substance based on the most recent audited annual report, not the future and not the lending company&#8217;s conduct towards investors.<\/p>\n<h3>Why are well-known lending companies such as Ibancar or DanaKredi missing from the ranking?<\/h3>\n<p>Because they do not meet this page&#8217;s filter. Ibancar, DanaKredi, Pinjam Yuk and four further companies have only filed unaudited figures for 2025. They are still rated, though. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/rethink-p2p.de\/en\/loan-originators\/#Income_Marketplace\">P2P Loan Originator Comparison<\/a> you will find them with all key figures and their total score. They simply do not qualify for the ranking on this page.<\/p>\n<h3>Why does no Income lending company reach the &#8220;strong&#8221; band?<\/h3>\n<p>Because the top of the field on Income looks structurally different from larger marketplaces. Hoovi loses points on the equity ratio and portfolio quality, Virtus on equity and liquidity, ITF almost all points on portfolio quality. A score of 85 points or more requires a company to sit in the upper half on nearly all six criteria.
