In my opinion, peer-to-peer lending is as safe as the platform in which the member of the public is investing in. That said, Zopa (and probably a handful of others) have a guarantee fund system which supposedly adds a layer of protection.

I agree with everyone who has stated that it depends on the platform. If you look at kickfurther where its a consignment opportunity, and not an investment, the risk is lower as you own the inventory and still have the option to liquidate should everything that can go wrong with the co-op does go wrong.

Yes this helped improve my knowledge of crowdfunding platforms. I really had the opportunity to gain some knowledge and will be able to focus my specific question all though better. Thanks

I would say Lend Club is doing alright, sure the stock broke earlier this year but its been slowly and steadily rising as a whole. That's from my stock knowledge not personal experiences. Now from my personal experience, I like Kickfurther as an established consignment platform. From what I've been reading, it fits into the p2p category better than the other categories of crowdfunding. I could possibly share what type of profit i'm looking at, I just don't have it in front of me.

Are we here talking about consumer to consumer lending? Or lending to businesses like FundingCircle does as well?

P2p is useful but only in every case people return the money.
