For a company stating "We're not a bank!" you like to compare yourself to bank interest rates, which obviously have far less risk. I'm assuming deposits with you aren't guaranteed like the banks are

  Hi - If we ever were to be a bank, we would run things very differently.
  
  We're just trying to show how unfair they are and how unfair finance is in general. Our investment accounts, like any investment, comes with risk, which we try our best to mitigate by working with world-class partners.

    Maybe the banks do take a big cut but for the 2% difference in interest rates between yourselves and someone like ING, I find it hard to justify the risk.
    Especially when with Bobbob I need to wear the risk of AUD/USD fluctuations impacting my deposit.

      Thanks for that.
      Our max rate of 7.6% is 3.55% higher than ING, nearly double. Plus, no:
      - Monthly minimums, or hoops to jump through
      - Balance limitations
      
      Finally, we are working with our partner to try to increase the rate!

        @bobbobfinance: You are very quick to push maximum potential rates rather than run speak to the risks that are brought up.
        * You skipped over my comment on deposit guarantee which the banks off
        * You skipped over the AUD/USD risk that I mentioned
        * You skipped over my comment around not comparing yourselves investments with similar risks
        
        It's no wonder people are finding it hard to trust.
        
        If I had invested 10K with you 2 months ago I would already be down ~10% on my investment. You even mention on your site that if you offered an AUD account you would provide a lower return.
        
        "As our Vision details, we plan to add an AUD account in the future, which will come with less foreign exchange risk but also a lower return."

Wow! … sounds like a great deal to me! So many reassuring elements -
* based on crypto
* one gets more return the more people one helps pull into the scheme
* as the promoters point out, nothing is guaranteed and everything is at risk - such honesty! … must be completely trustworthy
* impeccable grammar “thousands of Aussie”
* their “simplifying the complex” diagram on their webpage makes so much common sense! … why have so many tiresome, traceable links in the travels of ones money, when it can just go straight to a friendly looking emoji wearing a bobbob hat!

Not a single warning bell goes off in my mind! If only I had a few spare million to invest!

  We implore you to take a read to understand How Bobbob Works before you bash it.
  The reason for a referral mechanism:
  - We want to grow our customer base, but also want to make some revenue
  - Customers on 7.60% p.a. take every single cent of what their money generates. Meaning we're left with nothing, so in order for us to be able to afford this model, our customers pay us back in referring new people.
  - This is how we are different to banks and funds who take most of the money your cash generates, wastes half of it on empty branches and ATM machines, and extreme salaries with low productivity…

- Associatedbobbobfinance @ Bobbob on 24/10/2022 - 08:58
  
  Is 7.60% too good to be true?
  Nope, we’re just fair!
  We help you put your money to work, we just give you the returns you deserve, that’s really it.
  
  We work with Luno who partners with sister company Genesis (a Prime Broker) who lends your money to their clients.
  
  Their institutional clients (Hedge Funds, Institutional Investors, etc.) use the funds for things like hedging, arbitrage, float and growth capital and operational expenses; and pay a fair price for it.
  
  We simply connect you with them and give you your fair share.
  
  And because we have lower overheads than brick and mortar businesses, we can offer a greater share of the interest made on your money.

bemybubble on 19/10/2022 - 09:36

Hey Op,

Assuming your business model is sound. You can understand peoples sentiment and how there's a bigger mountain to climb to win over public trust?

P2P lenders face the same kind of criticism - but at least Plenti, for example, has a provision fund to help mitigate risk and build public trust.

What do you have to mitigate such risk?
Raj09 on 19/10/2022 - 09:44

Based on crypto? Luno expeditions? Lots of critics here but most of us are strapped for cash at the moment.

There's always reassurances that the currency is backed by collateral but then there's none. The example was Luna. There's so much one can lose
- Associatedbobbobfinance @ Bobbob on 19/10/2022 - 09:49
  
  The flow:
  - Deposit AUD
  - Get USDC
  - USDC sent to partners, a Prime Broker
  - They either lend converted to USD or actual USDC to their clients (hedge funds etc.)… this is how the yield is generated.
  
  No definitley not, Luna was a legitimate ponzi.
  Luno owns Luno Expeditions…

  The people that lend from the prime broker deposit 110-120% collateral to borrow.
  And the underlying USDC is backed by USD in banks in the USA (BNY Melon, Blackrock, etc. etc.)

Another perspective …
* there are now a number of 12 month term deposit offers from govt guaranteed Australian banks that sit just under 4% inc with monthly interest payable - let’s round the return to 4% for simplification
* so, if I had $10K to invest, bobbob @ 6% (I wouldn’t in a million years think of trying to suck friends and family into this just to try and make extra bucks off of risking their money as well) would over 12 months return me an additional $200 - $600 earned vs $400 from a bank
* decisions, decisions … get $400 guaranteed and sleep soundly every night never having to worry about losing a cent, or potentially make $200 extra while risking everything with a hat wearing emoji which is located somewhere (?), where my money has disappeared to at the speed of the internet

Seems to me the bank will have earned every fraction of the $200 difference, for the peace of mind that it will have given me.
