iGrin is Australia's first peer to peer lending marketplace.

What is P2P lending?

This is when people borrow and lend from each other – without having a bank in the way. This has been going on for centuries but with the use of the internet it has made it easier for parties to come together. P2P lending has been a growing phenomenon overseas with the success of such sites as Prosper in the USA and Zopa in the UK. It also goes by other names such as Social Lending, microfinance, Person to Person lending and Peer to Peer lending – whatever its name it is a great way to get a fair return on your money!

As a Funder you get:

• To develop a portfolio of loan funds yourself - start with as little as $100.
• Decide the returns and risk you take - pick and choose between borrowers.
• To complement your other investments with access to a new asset class.
• An ongoing monthly cashflow as loans are repaid.
• Socially rewarding - a chance to help real people.

As a Borrower you get:

• To control the amount of money and the interest rate you want.
