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.

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.

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 welcome investors from around the world, not just EU (+Switzerland, Russia, Ukraine). Brazil, China, Australia, South Africa ...
