Blend is really focused on quality… Blend is really focused on quality loans. It might not be the fastest to get your money deployed, but you can be confident your money is invested in loans that have gone through a serious due diligence.

Experience to date. I have been with them a couple of years, give or take. They started off well, placing my investment with borrowers quite quickly but more recently I have not been impressed. It takes ages to place my money with lenders, I mean months, during which time it is earning nothing. Their Autolend system puts you in a queue while you wait for a borrower while early repayments from existing borrowers swell my unlent cash account. If I try to increase the max loan amount to take account of that I go straight to the back of the queue for another long wait. Approaching half my money remains uninvested so, to be honest, I could probably do better in a building society. It seem to be impossible to get onto an investment without using Autolend as they are all snapped up immediately they become available. I am hoping for an improvement.

Very diligent platform Very diligent platform. I’ve had a great experience with Blend.

Property investment A fantastic opportunity to invest in syndicated property loans without hassle. I like how Blend presents the information on each deal very clearly and transparently and it feels like the due diligence on each deal is very strong. Sometimes you do need to wait for a few weeks until your money is deployed, but certainly worth the wait from my point of view.

Amazing platform Amazing platform, very user friendly. Even more importantly great first class property financing opportunities fully secured with first charge on the property with amazing return around 10% per annum. All loans refunded on time so far. Just had one of them refunded earlier this week! David
