It is easy to do and gives me a good feeling that I can help ppl all around the world with some money, for me it is not a big deal, for them it is some help for a better life!
Lendahand keeps a close eye on everything and takes care of both sides: the receiving end and my end. I don't have to worry about a thing. Every now and then I get an email stating that something has been refunded, and I then reinvest that. Often with a small additional payment. I'm happy with Lendahand!

So far so good 5*

I have been using the platform for over 3 years now and since then invested in almost 40 projects.

So far I never had any issues with the platform nor with any project (or I have been fortunate enough not to).

The only hiccup I experienced was with a recent project that had issues with the repayment process due to a third party and subsequently the repayment was somewhat delayed. However, this was clearly communicated by Lendahand, that also proceeded to investigate the root cause of this issue.

So far the only remark I have is that the platform itself could have a better UI and/or at this stage it could be worthy of having its own app.

Dear Tiago,

Thank you very much for your review and for your trust in the platform. We’re glad to hear that you’re having a positive experience investing with us.

We’re currently working on improving the UI, so if you have any suggestions, please feel free to share them with us at info@lendahand.com. We value feedback from our users and take their needs into account when designing improvements.

We’d also love to launch an app in the future. For now, with just two developers and other priorities to focus on, it’s outside our current scope, but it’s definitely on our wish list.

Kind regards,

Yvette

It always makes me happy if I can support people with limited access to loans through the regular banking system. And I also like it that the people that I support can in turn help others by paying back their loan so I can lend it again to someone else:-) This is what Lend a Hand calls: The loan that keeps on giving.

Alternative investment with decent returns

I have been investing for about one year now. It is a good thing to be able to help people who have interesting projects and, on top of that, to get a decent return. Management, accounting and customer service are rigorous and flawless. Interest and principal have always been paid on time.
