We’re pleased to report strong interest in the new Innovative Finance Individual Savings Account (IFISA), following the award of full permissions by the financial services industry regulator, The Financial Conduct Authority. IFISAs typically contain peer-to-peer (P2P) loans of the kind offered on Money&Co.’s site. ~But these are early days for P2P crowdfunding. Our friends at […]
We’re pleased to report strong interest and healthy registration numbers following the launch of our Innovative Finance Individual Savings Account (IFISA). We’ll have news of property-backed loans and other offerings on site very soon. Meanwhile, the path to market is becoming better-trodden. Our friends at P2P Finance News report the opening of a new avenue […]
Between now and the start of the new tax year on 6th April, a lot of money will go into Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) and the Innovative Finance ISAs (IFISAs) that are allowed to hold the peer-to-peer (P2P) business loans facilitated on Money&Co.’s crowdfunding platform. You can start the application process by clicking here. Below […]
It’s a very particular time of year. The tax year 2016/17 closes on 5th April, and many savers and investors leave it late to take advantage of their tax-free allowances. They probably shouldn’t, but they do – so we find ourselves now in the busiest time of what’s become known as Individual Savings Account (ISA) […]
We are delighted to announce the launch of Money&Co.’s Innovative Finance Individual Savings Account (IFISA). The IFISA was introduced on 6 April 2016, but there have been relatively few on the market, as the regulators have withheld the full permissions necessary to market and manage an IFISA. An IFISA is essentially a tax-wrapper that allows registered […]
Let’s hope we’re not heading for a financial car crash. But it’s always prudent to plan for one… As the Hungarians say, an optimist is merely a badly informed pessimist. So it’s with great interest that we note that our friends at P2P Finance News report research from 4thWay indicating that IFISA investors will do […]
Alternative finance, crowdfunding, and its peer-to-peer (P2P) sub-sector are slowly raising awareness of their existence, and – even more slowly – gaining acceptance from investors, and the investment community. An important step forward in this direction has just been made with the help of crowdfunding intelligence platform, Crowdsurfer. Transparency and easy availability of data is […]
The coming week promises great things – notably the launch of Money&Co.’s Innovative Finance Individual Savings Account (IFISA). We’re launching late in the tax year – but not as late as some. Ahead of the announcement, here’s an excerpt from a scene-setter from our friends at the Financial Times. “Peer-to-peer lending was always meant to […]
Today we revisit a news piece from our friends at Orca, a news aggregation site focused on crowdfunding and alternative finance. Given the imminent launch of our Innovative Finance Individual Savings Account (IFISA), the site’s interview with Money&Co.’s CEO, Nicola Horlick, is worth a second look. Orca spoke to Nicola late last year. Little has […]
The leading City watchdog, the Financial Conduct Authority, has written to chief executives of peer-to-peer (P2P) crowdfunding platforms. The letter contains a warning against lending to other lenders. This is not something that Money&Co. has ever done, nor ever intends to do. But the letter is attracting media attention, so it’s very much an item for […]
