These are annual target interest rates paid daily into your cash account before tax. If you choose to reinvest your interest daily, you’ll enjoy even higher returns through the benefits of compound interest. Rates are variable and could change.
We do all we can to release your money as soon as you ask for it. But this does depend on funds being available, and from time to time there may be a delay.
We’ve designed Loanpad for maximum simplicity and transparency. We don’t charge a fee, but make a margin on the rate of interest paid by borrowers. Essentially, we make money when you make money – so it’s in everyone’s interest to make sure every single loan is rock-solid.
No lending account is completely risk-free. But Loanpad is built to keep the risk to your money as low as possible. Here’s how...
Every day your money is diversified across our entire book of loans. Not only does this reduce the impact from any one borrower defaulting, but it means there’s no difference between drip feeding money into your Loanpad account or putting in a lump sum. You get the same great rates at the same risk either way.
We limit your share of every loan to a maximum of 50%** of the total property value.
We achieve this by typically sharing loans with our lending partners – we only work with carefully vetted established lenders. They generally manage each loan with our oversight and are responsible for the higher risk part (called the ‘junior tranche’). As the lending partner will take at least 25% of the loan, there’s lower risk to you if a borrower defaults. If this does happen, your money will be repaid (plus interest) before the lending partner’s share.
This also means it’s in our lending partners’ interest to check potential borrowers extensively, just as we do.
** Loan to value may increase to a maximum of 55% to accommodate interest servicing.
We only take on carefully vetted lower-risk property loans. As part of our extensive due diligence for approving each loan, we look at a range of factors such as the property valuation, experience and activity of each borrower and review asset and liability statements. Our panel of solicitors also check the legality and security of a potential loan and borrower. All loans are backed (secured) by property that we can sell to recover your money if the loan defaults.
We safeguard your daily income using this unique ring-fenced fund which may cover your daily interest payments. With short-term property loans, delays can happen – this fund exists to help you get paid daily, in full. You can see real-time details of this fund on our platform at any time.

Loanpad is a smart way to invest in property loans while keeping risk as low as possible.
As with any investment, your capital is at risk and your investment may go up or down in value.
You won't be covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) for potential future losses.
As with all investments, past performance is not an indicator of future results.
Changes in economic climate and / or geopolitical events could negatively impact the value of your investment.
