FinBee is a crowdlending platform from Lithuania that allows investing in consumer and business loan. The platform works both as an investment platform and a loan originator, which mean that FinBee selects the loans by itself, does the risk analysis and provide them for on the platforms for investment.

This p2p lending platform allows investing starting from €5 which is one of the few platforms allowing to invest for this small amount (the market average is €10).

The returns are pretty high. The average return rate is +18% for Consumer loans (blue in the chart below) and +14.5% for Business loans (gree in the chart below).

On the downside, since this platform offers high-interest rates, it doesn’t offer a BuyBack guarantee feature. It means that the loans invested in might default and you might lose your invested amount (that the downside of having a high ROI). In the chart below you can see the statistics of defaults rates.

finbee default rate

As you can see the default rate at FinBee is of 11.21% in average, but 51.3% of the defaulted loans are recollected (last line), which brings the final default rate to 5.46%. There is also a difference in the default rate’s statistics between consumer and business loans:

  • Consumer loans: 12.99% default rate (48.2% recollected) = 6.72% final default rate
  • Business loans: 4% default rate (92.3 % recollected) = 0.3% final default rate

Which bring the final ROI of both loan types to:

  • Consumer loans: 18% ROI * 6.72% default = 16.86%
  • Business loans: 14.5% ROI * 0.3% default = 14.07%

This makes consumer laons more attractive that business loans.

Advice

FinBee is adapted to investors with a little existing experience in p2p lending.

Since the platform doesn’t offer a BuyBack guarantee options, you will have to evaluate the risk of your investments. But as an investor, you will have more fun than on other “static platform” where you can’t select any special options. In this case you will have to build your risk strategy by doing some calculations.
