Bad web app

Bad web app
I told them many times that they have to:
- Secure the account with 2FA or better MitId
- Re-disign the whole UI because it resembles a web site from the '90s, ugly and ackward to use.

Hi Renato

Thanks for your feedback!

We completely agree with you regarding the UI - the platform could definitely do with a redesign. Unfortunately we have limited resources in our IT department and we haven't been able to prioritise the UI for quite a while. I unfortunately don't have a timeline for a redesign. When we get around to it, we'd like to do it properly by hiring a UX specialist and redoing the entire thing.

In terms of login security with 2FA or MitID, this is something we've considered but have decided not to implement at this point in time. As all users are required to validate themselves with MitID before they can invest or pay out money to their bank account, there's very limited risk of outsiders being able to steal the money from a user's Lendino account. If an outsider should get access to someone else's Lendino account, they are only able to deposit money, invest money or withdraw money to the actual owner's bank account.
We regularly take this topic up for review, though, so we might implement 2FA or MitID-login in the future.

Thanks again for your feedback and have a great day!

Best,
Lennie from the Lendino team

Great product

Lendino is a great company with a great product.
It gives us, small investors exposure to credit market.
I had no problem during the years of using it.
Of course, after my risk management and appetite.
Well done and can’t wait for new projects!

Lendino has pros and cons, but in the end I cannot recommend

Decent activity and number of loans provided on platform.

However, I'm involved with a number of different investment types and evaluating the last 2 years I must admit Lendino has provided the lowest rate of return. For this reason, I have begun pulling my money out of the platform and will not recommend other to use it.

Other downsides are ok, but definitely not great, information on overdue loans as well as an absolutely toxic community in the comment sections (which is not Lendinos fault directly, of course).

Hi Christian R. Houen,

Thanks for your review.

We appreciate your comments on loan origination volume and general activity on the platform.
It’s unfortunate that your realized rate of return is not as high as you personally would have expected. The risks associated with the relevant risks should be in accordance with the given return on the asset.

Regarding the comment sections we are, as we speak, programming the last bits and pieces for a new update, which integrates a more systematic flow of information for all loans facilitated on the platform.

All the best,
Andreas

I have been using this business for a…

I have been using this business for a while now and find them very reliable. There is however always a risk that someone does not repay their loan however, the risk is minimized by the fact that debtors are evaluated in advance by Lendino team, and you are given a choice of whether or not to invest, how much to invest if you are interested and even to choose whether you want low og higher risk; interest rates and re-payment period. Also you can choose to increase and decrease the amount you choose to lend for each investment opportunity. Once the choice is made however, it is fixed until such time as the loan is re-paid. I have achieved pay back to an extent that it has been possible to lend the same investment out again. At my bank, I get no interest whatsoever for my savings so I find this a very attractive alternative. There is also an opportunity to access lendino by email and on chat. I only give Lendino 4 stars because - there is always a risk.

Terrible risk analysis

In my experience Lendino is fairly clueless in regards to risk-assesment. I am involved in 5 loans, across the spectre of risk-categories and there has been problem with all five of them. Two of the firms have gone belly up and I doubt I will ever see that money again. The intrest rates does not in any way or form corelate with the profile of the company.

Hi Mikkel,

We are sorry to hear that you’re not satisfied with our risk analysis. It is quite unlucky that all of your loans have had problems! However, the fact that five loans have had problems does not mean that all loans will in the future. A good rule of thumb is that a loan investor should have a diversified portfolio of at least 100 loan shares. Currently our IRR (internal rate of return) based on all loans on Lendino is at 4,05 %, which means that a lender who invested in all loans will get 4,05 % in return. You can see the IRR and other statistics at https://www.lendino.dk/howitworks/statistics.

Furthermore, just because a company has gone bankrupt or is in some other way in financial trouble does not mean that you should write off your investment entirely. Most loans on the platform are covered by personal guarantees; in the event of bankruptcy our credit department collaborate with the borrower and possibly a debt collection agency to ensure that the loan is repaid (albeit possibly delayed) by these personal guarantors.

Finally the interest correlates with the risk. This risk is analysed on the basis of a lot of different factors including the strength of the personal guarantors. A company which on the paper seems to be high risk (e.g. a start-up) can therefore have a lower rating than you would normally assume due to strong personal guarantees.

If you have more questions or want to have a chat about our risk analysis or your own portfolio, feel free to contact us at 70 270 250 or at info@lendino.dk.

Decent platform but steer clear of C and C-

Overall decent platform but stay away from their C and C- loans, way too low interest to cover the losses in this category.
out of 15 loans I made in this category 4 can be considered lost at this stage.

Hi Mads

Thanks for your review. It is true that our C and C- loans have a higher risk of incurring losses. We try to set the interest at a level which reflects the risk inherent in the loan while still being competitive with the banks. Delayed loans are also charged extra interests so that the lender is compensated for the delay in payments. So far only two loans have been written off as a loss and we work with our borrowers and debt collection agencies at ensuring that delayed loans are paid off. We are still optimistic that most delayed loans - even the C and C- loans - will be paid off over time.

Feel free to contact us on info@lendino.dk or on 70 270 250 if you have questions about the delayed loans in which you’re involved.

I think this is a great site

I think this is a great site, however sometimes the payments are coming in a bit late, I'm guessing this is due to, the borrowers, are struggling to figure out the right amount to pay each month, I have used this for 1 year now with increasing amount of money, and until now i have gotten all of my money. however I'm fare from putting in all my money!. And I will encourage everybody else to do the same, because lendino.dk is not covered by the European deposit guarantee, so if they crash your money IS lost. so only put in what you can spare

Hi Jes, thank you for the review. It is correct that we are no covered by the European deposit scheme. However, it is only deposits that are at risk, since the creditors will not have a claim on investments in loans as the agreements are bilateral between lender and borrowers. We expect to soon have a secure account ("sikringskonto") for the lenders money that will be protected from creditors in case of Lendino's bankruptcy.

Trustworthiness is zero

Unfortunately, the Lendino company hides the loans that have defaulted or in the late schedule from their homepage where they show the loans where the payments are in the schedule - you cannot build a trustworthy platform such way. Secondly, the communication to the investors is awful - it is either missing or comes after 2-3 investors raise questions in the discussion section under the project. The team should inform as much as possible the investors who have invested and the loan has been already in late for 10 months - "Producent af styresystemer til industrien øger eksporten" loan for Danproces Automation A/S

Hi Daniil, thank you for your comment. We are about to launch a statistics page showing the aggregate of defaults. The reason that specific defaulted loans are not visible to all investos but only those who have invested in them, is that we don't want to showcase specific defaults to all investors. The specific default is a matter between the lenders and the borrower. However, I agree that that overall statistics showing defaults should be available. They're coming up soon. Let me know if this meets your demands.

Update:

We have now launched our statistics page and you can go directly to the site here: https://www.lendino.dk/howitworks/statistics
