The Assetz Capital platform is no longer open to investment from individual investors. No new investments into peer-to-peer loans are possible and, as a result, no new funds should be deposited. The existing loan book relating to the Retail platform is now in run-off and this will, over time, deliver the return of capital to investors. Full information can be found here . Existing Retail lenders can still log in, view information regarding their account and loan holdings and operate their account in accordance with the information regarding the run-off provided on the link above.

Assetz Capital attracts £10m into 90-day account in just one week

The new account targets a return of 5.75 per cent, which the platform says will not change until 31 May 2019.

Like the platform’s Quick Access Account and 30-Day Access Account, the 90-day account is ISA eligible and will automatically lend investor funds across a range of secured business loans. Investors will also have access to a discretionary provision fund, which can be used to protect investors from capital losses.

Assetz Capital is also offering one per cent cashback on all newly lent funds, for a limited time only.

To qualify for the cashback payment, users have to deposit funds onto the platform and invest them into the 90-Day Access Account at any time until the promotion closes on 15 March 2019.

Stuart Law (pictured), chief executive of Assetz Capital, said when viewed as an annualised rate of return, the cashback offer equates to four per cent interest per year, which effectively boosts the product rate to 7.75 per cent for the initial three-month period before it returns to 5.75 per cent.

“With the opportunity to earn the equivalent of up to 7.75 per cent on new investments during that initial three month period, there has never been a better time to invest in the platform,” Law said.
