Peerberry seems like a very new platform and inexperienced with P2P lending due to its launch on the 1st of November 2017. However, this platform is an extension of Aventus Group which has years of experience in lending, half a million customers and 18 million loan portfolio. They have been profitable for the past 9 years which is a testament to the stability and reputation.
In 2019, Aventus Group companies issued 193 million Eur loans – 2,6 times more than in 2018. More than one million – 1 681 667 units of credits (including credits with prolongations) in total were issued during the year 2019. It is 2,8 times more in comparison with credit volumes in 2018.
There’s no secondary market or a way to sell back your loan to PeerBerry before the loan term. For the short-term loans, this is not a big issue, because they mature in at most 45 days. Most of the loans on PeerBerry are late by 30-60 days, but even with that, you can get a hold of your funds in at most 3 months.
For the long-term loans. If you invest in a 5 years loan, you’ll need to wait for 5 years before exiting the PeerBerry platform.
Once you click on a loan you’re interested in, you get a bit more details about the borrower. The details contain their age, sex, country and how many loans the borrower already has. You can also see the loan originator details, interest rate, remaining loan term and if the loan has a buyback guarantee policy or not.
On the Invest page, you get a list of available loans, with interest rates around 10-12%. Most of the loans available are short-term, although I’ve also seen a few that have more than 12 months terms.
You can also filter the available loans by interest rate, loan term, the amount available for investment, country, loan originator and if the loan has a buyback policy or not.
The Aventus Global group has a fairly strong financial position, with almost €20 million of equity, and €5.8 million of profit for the first half of 2019. Most loans offered on Peerberry currently come from two lending groups – Aventus Group and GoFingo.

Peerberry has managed to gather thousands of investors and more than half a dozen credit originators in an accessible and very simple platform that since November 2017 has provided solid and stable returns to its investors.
