Social Lending

Borrow money with social lending!

Social lending provides a way for ordinary people like you borrow and lend money between each other, without using a bank. This has several advantages:

If you're a social borrower, you know the interest you pay is going to another individual, not a bank, and you get competitive rates

If you're a social lender, you could get competitive returns on your money, usually better than if you were to put it in a savings account

The world's first and most well-known social lending provider is Zopa, a website where borrowers and lenders can connect. Zopa loans work by:

You pay a small fee to take out a loan
Lenders offer you rates based on your credit rating
You choose the deal that you think is the best
You set up a monthly repayment scheme
