    What criteria are required to meet loyalty rate?

    I diversify with a couple of companies already so no harm adding another under my belt

    If you are already established with Lending Crowd, then they should apply

    Same across at SM....

    Was able to drop a relatively large sum into Finance Direct with NO waiting

    Me too. Too many getting paid off recently, including one less than a month old, it appears. Too much stress, even for a good return, and very little coming through, so I'm starting to pull out now

    Very hard to get invested as there is no "autolend facility". If you're not sitting at your computer waiting for email notifications you miss out. Even when you get in straight away, some loans have already been filled. Not worth having money sitting in your holding account as it's so hard to invest.

    Yes, I was getting fed up with missing out on loans, so I wrote an auto-lend client. It's been working well and I haven't missed a loan since starting using it two weeks ago. PM me if you're interested.
