If anyone's interested in giving Ratesetter p2p lending a go, they currently have a referral bonus in place:
$25 for new members and $25 to the referrer. $50 for new members and $50 to the referrer
Offer is between September 29 and December 31 January 31 2016 for the first 1,000 referrals, with a maximum of 5 referrals per member.
From their website:
Peer-to-Peer Lending with RateSetter Australia
- Attractive returns: RateSetter offers attractive returns by connecting you with creditworthy borrowers
- Simple: simply select a term, amount, and rate you wish to earn
- Provision Fund protection: the Provision Fund can help protect you from borrower late payment or default
- A peer-to-peer pioneer: the RateSetter group is one of the largest peer-to-peer lenders in the world
Unfortunately, the $25 $50 for new members is only credited after your first $1,000 loaned (within the first 30 days), so this won't appeal to many people who weren't already contemplating signing up.
The head of operations for Ratesetter (glennriddell) is a member of these forums if you have any questions. I've been a member for 2 months now and found it be smooth so far.
MOD: Please
- Do not add your referral link in the comments.
- Use the user-referral system to add your referral link to RateSetter. Click on the edit link in the grey Referral Links box below.
Update 10/12: Deal extended from 31/12/15 to 31/1/16 and referral now $50 instead of $25, thanks to Tafe
Here's my referral URL if anyone is interested.
Looks good to me! - btw:max 5 referrals per person though.
