🏴‍☠️ The verdict: Mintos takes the treasure (4.3/5)

Pick Bondora if you want simplicity and liquidity and will accept ~6.75% for it. Pick Mintos if you want 7–13% and real diversification, and can live with Notes pricing, originator risk and a small secondary-market fee. Serious P2P portfolios usually end up holding Mintos as the core and Bondora as the cash-like sleeve.
