The robots are coming, whether we like it or not. Or maybe that should read “where we’re aware of it or not”. The use of reams and reams of data, or “big data” and the rapid development of artificial intelligence is developing at a faster rate than many realise. We believe The Rise Of The […]
There’s a Christmas rush on just about everywhere – and the online business lending world is no exception. There are only three days to go on the latest, B+ rated loan offer. More loans are waiting in the wings. To learn more about lending, visit this page and watch the short informational video. Elsewhere in […]
As new loan offerings line up to come online, we find ourselves well past the £10 million mark of loans facilitated. As the Money&Co. loan book expands, it becomes easier to diversify, one of the best ways of mitigating risk. We have a service available for larger investors – those committing £100,000 or more – […]
We’re heading into what’s known as the “ISA season”.

We thoroughly recommend the regular news briefings of alternative finance and investment intelligence platform, Another Crowd, for those wishing to keep themselves informed of events in P2P, equity and, occasionally, project crowdfunding.

As our latest loan offerings wait for the final green light – our credit committee promises the first of several new offerings tomorrow – we thought we’d reprise where we are in what promises to be a very exciting investment season (the current A-rated, 8 per cent, fixed-rate offer is going fast, by the way.

It may seem a somewhat bizarre analogy, but the cash-based savings market operates like petrol-pump pricing. Think of it as a case of commodity pricing. Motorists often complain that reduction in the price of the underlying commodity – oil, in this case – is frequently not passed on. In October, base rates increased by 0.25 […]
