How we ranked them
Every platform in the fleet is scored on five dimensions (returns, liquidity, track record, transparency and usability) with real deposits behind every review. The ranking above is the current overall standing; the blurbs tell ye why, which matters more than the number.
The honest meta-advice
No single platform deserves all your doubloons. The pattern that works: a regulated core (Mintos), a yield satellite (Esketit or similar), a liquidity sleeve (Bondora Go & Grow), and, if ye accept multi-year recovery timelines, property-backed positions (EstateGuru). Diversify across platforms and across the lending companies inside them.
P2P lending sits in the risk bucket of your portfolio. The buyback guarantees, mortgages and licenses described here reduce risk. They do not remove it. Capital deployed should be capital ye can lose without changing your plans.
