Problem
Individual investors often lack access to diverse loan portfolios, making it difficult to achieve consistent returns while managing risk. Evaluating the creditworthiness and legal structure of various loan originators can also be complex and time-consuming.
Solution
Income Marketplace is a peer-to-peer lending platform that connects investors with a variety of consumer loans originated by vetted lending companies. The platform provides a marketplace where investors can browse and invest in loan portfolios, diversifying their holdings across different loan types and geographies. A key feature is the buyback obligation, where loan originators are required to repurchase loans that are more than 60 days past due, providing a safety net for investors. Income Marketplace aims to simplify the investment process by offering transparent information on loan performance, originator risk scores, and the legal framework governing each investment.
