Reliable platform with highly competent technical support
I have a very positive experience with 8Lends, both from a platform and an operational standpoint. The interface is stable, well structured, and intuitive, but what truly differentiates 8Lends is the quality of their technical and customer support.
Support requests are handled promptly and professionally, with clear, technically sound explanations.
Communication is efficient, transparent, and focused on resolving issues effectively.
The team demonstrates strong operational maturity and availability, which is critical for any financial or lending platform. Overall, 8Lends has proven to be reliable, well managed, and trustworthy.

We're so glad you enjoyed the crypto course and that it was helpful for you as someone new to the space. And a special thank you for highlighting our "very good and fast support" – that means a lot to our team.
Your feedback from an "old school" perspective is incredibly valuable. You're right, there are areas where we can do a much better job of summarizing information and making key details more "palpable" and easy to grasp. This is something we're actively working on, especially with the new version of our website launching right before the New Year, which we hope will address many of these points.
We really appreciate you being with us and sharing your thoughts.

It lacks specific information about the process
The course provides basic information on crowlending through crytpos.
IN my opinion, it is good for understanding the basics, but it lacks information on how to do it specifically on the platform 8Lends. For me it has been a mess of trial and error to make my first investment on 8Lends because I haven't found any information about the process in their web site. I believe it lacks an explanation on how to get up and running on 8Lends.
Hope this is helpful

So far, so good
I've been using 8lends for a few months now, and so far I think their platform has lived up to its promises: subscriptions are simple and fully on-chain, distributions are regular and without surprises, and the support team is quite responsive.
Of course, there are still a few areas that could be improved — especially when it comes to the practical details of subscribing or making withdrawals — but I believe time will allow them to refine these aspects. After all, they’re still a very young player in this market.

Your point about refining the practical details of subscriptions and withdrawals is really helpful. You're absolutely right, as a young platform, we are constantly working to smooth out these processes. Feedback like yours is what helps us get there faster.

So far so good, but too early to tell.
So far the experience has been good. I had an issue connecting my crypto wallet to the platform. I sent them an email about it and they got back to me straight away. I also did their crypto course for beginners. Initially it was just to earn the USDC bonus, but I actually enjoyed it. I found it very practical and well put together.
As far as the loans, after linking my wallet to the platform last week, I have invested 3000€ with 8lends. Obviously it's too early to know how well my loans will perform. I will have to wait at least a year to be able to judge this. If I lose all my money, I will change the review to 1 star, but if all goes to plan, I will give them 5 stars. The interest rates are amazing, almost too good to be true. Time will tell!

Bonuses not paid (update: already paid)
Hello!
I invested the first time in this company one week ago. In the beginning they promised 3 types of bonuses for new members. However, I have only received the referral bonus of 6%. Plus, I have made the crypto course, and already sent 4 emails to the support and I got no answers so far. I asked for the payment of the bonuses of the crypto course completion, 45 USDC, and the registration on the platform, 30 EUR. I will continue waiting for the payment of the bônus, that's why I am giving 3 stars. But if I am not satisfied anymore by not receiving all bonuses, next I will give 1 star. Thanks for having the opportunity to speak out. Regards
Glady, the support team in Telegram, solved this situation in Sep 18 and the bonus was already paid. Thanks to the 8Lends team for the transparency and resolution of this situation. I totally recommend this platform for investors.

Hello David! 🙏
I completely understand your frustration about the missing bonuses - that's definitely not the experience we want for our new investors. You're absolutely right to expect what was promised, and I sincerely apologize that you haven't received proper responses to your emails yet.
Please don't worry - we will absolutely resolve this for you. The crypto course completion bonus (45 USDC) and registration bonus (30 EUR) should definitely be processed.
To get this sorted out quickly, please send me an email directly at hello@8lends.io with:
- Your account details
- Screenshots of your completed crypto course
- Reference to your previous support emails
For real-time support, you can also reach our team directly on Telegram:

I'll personally make sure your case gets priority attention and that all your bonuses are processed promptly. We really value you as a new member of our crowdlending community and want to make this right.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to fix this situation before considering changing your review. Your patience means a lot while we resolve this.

BEWARE
BEWARE. Audit reports aren't available.
Absolutely NO INFO known about who are the actual founders of this company.
This is fraud. For example, the coffee maker you can invest in, I researched that company. Their website is nothing, but AI slop "keen and tight"

Reply from 8lends
Thanks Greg for raising your concerns! 🙏
I completely understand your caution - due diligence is absolutely essential in any investment, especially in crowdlending.
To address your points: 8lends is part of the Maclear ecosystem. You can find detailed information about our founders and their professional backgrounds here:
https://www.maclear.ch/about-us - including their LinkedIn profiles where you can reach out to them directly.
Regarding the Keen and Tight project, you can find comprehensive information about the company, loan amount, credit purpose, and collateral on our platform:
https://app.8lends.io/en/project/117.
Their company website is https://keenandtight.com/
You're absolutely right that this isn't Apple or Microsoft - it's a small African business. We've honestly rated this project with a BBB risk assessment (high risk).
This reflects the nature of peer to peer investing in smaller businesses - higher potential returns come with higher risks.
We're actually launching a series of African SME financing rounds this year, focusing on small to medium businesses. This is the social role of crowdlending - providing capital access to underserved markets.
Investment in crowdlending always carries significant risk, and we encourage all investors to carefully assess their risk tolerance.

I don’t think investors need KYC
September 1, 2025
Unprompted review
Reply from 8lends
Thanks Evans! 🙏
I understand your perspective on KYC - it can feel like an extra hassle when you just want to invest.
However, KYC for investors is actually standard practice across the entire crowdlending industry. We require the same KYC process at Maclear, and we maintain these same standards at 8lends. This isn't unique to us - virtually all legitimate peer to peer investing platforms require investor verification.
The KYC process goes through Sumsub, which is a global leader in identity verification used by hundreds of thousands of companies worldwide. It's a secure, established system that protects both investors and the platform.
These requirements exist for regulatory compliance and to prevent money laundering - it's not something we can opt out of while operating a legitimate investment platform. The good news is it's usually pretty quick and straightforward once you get started.
