Investment Process
Investment Selection: After registration, you can browse through various loan listings. Each listing includes details about the borrower, the purpose of the loan, and the borrower’s credit rating. This information helps you assess the risk and potential return of each investment.
Funding Loans: You can start investing with as little as €25. This low entry point allows you to diversify your investments across multiple loans, reducing the risk associated with defaults. You choose the loans you want to fund based on your risk tolerance and return expectations.
Returns: You earn returns through monthly repayments from borrowers, which include both principal and interest. The average net return on Žltý Melón is around 7% annually, although this can vary depending on the loans you choose.
Platform Features
Automated Investing: For convenience, Žltý Melón offers an automated investment option. You set specific criteria for loans, and the platform automatically allocates your funds to loans that match these criteria.
Secondary Market: If you need to access your funds before the loan term ends, you can sell your loan investments on the secondary market. This feature provides liquidity and flexibility, which is often a limitation in P2P lending.
Security: The platform provides detailed statistics on loan performance and borrower information. Žltý Melón follows strict security protocols to protect your data and investments.
