Our accounts
These are annual rates paid daily into your cash account – after fees but before tax. If you choose to reinvest your interest daily, you’ll enjoy even higher returns. Rates are variable and could change.
We do all we can to release your money as soon as you ask for it. But this does depend on funds being available, and from time to time there may be a slight delay.

How we safeguard your money
No lending account is completely risk-free. But Loanpad is built to keep the risk to your money as low as possible. Here’s how...
Daily spreading
Every day your money is diversified across our entire book of loans. Not only does this reduce the impact from any one borrower defaulting, but it means there’s no difference between drip feeding money into your Loanpad account or putting in a lump sum. You get the same great rates at the same risk either way.
Shared loans for lower risk
The loans made with your money are shared with our lending partners – we only work with carefully vetted established lenders. They manage each loan with our oversight and are responsible for the higher risk part (called the ‘junior tranche’). As the lending partner will always take at least 25% of the loan, there’s lower risk to you if a borrower defaults. If this does happen, your money will be repaid (plus interest) before the lending partner’s share.
This also means it’s in our lending partners’ interest to check potential borrowers extensively, just as we do.
Responsible lending
We only take on carefully vetted lower-risk property loans. As part of our extensive due diligence for approving each loan, we look at the credit history, experience and activity of each borrower and review asset and liability statements and payment history. Our panel of surveyors and solicitors also check the legality and security of every potential loan and borrower. We carefully review the exit strategy for each loan – and all loans are backed (secured) by property that we can sell to recover your money if the loan defaults.
Interest cover fund (ICF)
We safeguard your daily income using this unique ring-fenced fund which covers your daily interest payments if any borrowers fall behind on their payments. With short-term property loans, delays can happen – this fund exists to make sure you get paid daily, in full. You can see real-time details of this fund on our platform at any time. More about the interest cover fund.
The Interest Cover Fund we offer does not give you a right to a payment so you may not receive a pay-out even if you suffer loss. The fund has absolute discretion as to the amount that may be paid including making no payment at all. Therefore, investors should not rely on possible pay-outs from the Interest Cover Fund when considering whether or how much to invest.

Welcome bonus terms
It’s up to you to make sure you handle your investment portfolio wisely – for example, by diversifying your investments and making sure you understand the potential risk and reward of each type of investment, including peer-to-peer lending. You should carefully read and consider the risk factors discussed in this risk notice and the details on our Invest and ISA pages before deciding to invest. If you are unsure, you should consult your own financial adviser.
Any money you invest should not constitute a substantial proportion of your investment portfolio. You should have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating such risks. You represent that you satisfy these criteria and that you are investing on that basis.
While we do all we can to minimise the risk you’re exposed to through Loanpad, there are still some risks involved in investing with Loanpad.
Here’s a summary of the main ones to help you make an informed decision about investing with Loanpad. This list isn’t exhaustive, but it should give you a good idea of the kinds of things that can affect the repayment of your money.
Risk Notice
The risk of lower than expected returns
It is possible that a borrower could default and stop repaying the loan and its interest to you. In this case, you run the risk of not getting back the money you’ve loaned to that borrower and/or not receiving your daily interest in full.
The risk of not being able to withdraw your money immediately
It’s important to us – and no doubt to you – that you can access your money when you want it. When you request a withdrawal from a Loanpad account, your request goes into our sale queue, which is processed once a day. We do our best to clear the sale queue in full each day, but there’s no guarantee that we’ll always be able to.
Just because you can’t withdraw your money straight away, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s at higher risk. It means there isn’t enough available money (funds not tied up in loans) on the platform to process your withdrawal. Potential withdrawal delays are a feature of a lending site like Loanpad – and it’s important that you understand this.
The risk of losing your money
When you lend money, you rely on the borrower repaying it. If, for example, a borrower’s credit circumstances take a turn for the worse, they may struggle to repay the loan. And if this happens, you run the risk of not getting back the money you’ve loaned to that borrower.
In addition, Loanpad is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). As with any investment, your capital is at risk and the value of your investment may go up or down in value.
More general economic risks
The UK economy could be affected by instability in its banking sector and by a variety of other macro-economic factors. This, in turn, could significantly constrain the availability of credit and make it more expensive. Market volatility and spells of risk aversion could also negatively impact the UK property and loan markets.
Loanpad could be adversely affected by various factors beyond our control, including (but not limited to):
