    My individual loan arrears sum is currently $445.75, the summary dashboard value is $518.67.

    The details in the 'frontend' have always been wrong and as far as I can tell are still wrong.
    The backend is confusing!

    Date Status Time in arrears (days)
    LAI-00133312 05/07/2018 Current 1-30
    LAI-00133312 05/07/2018 Current 1-30
    LAI-00140705 08/10/2018 Current 1-30
    LAI-00144720 05/11/2018 Current 1-30
    LAI-00145319 06/11/2018 Current 1-30
    LAI-00145327 06/11/2018 Current 1-30
    LAI-00146060 09/11/2018 Current 1-30
    LAI-00151261 07/01/2019 Current 1-30
    LAI-00151261 07/01/2019 Current 1-30
    LAI-00151536 08/01/2019 Current 1-30
    LAI-00154121 05/02/2019 Current 1-30

    However despite whatever HM is mucking up in the front-end, the back-end data has been consistent over the past week.

    Loan availability was a little better over the last month. Hopefully that continues once they've sorted their general error's they've been experiencing have been fixed.

    yeah i just did it like that, IRD processed it pretty quick

    Its a real pain that harmoney pay your tax for you at the wrong stage, pre fees not after.
    Real hard to sell people the platform as an investment

    "yeah returns are pretty good but you have to make a tax adjustment each year with the IRD cause harmoney over pay your tax" - not the greatest sales pitch makes it a hassle for people not used to doing accounting sh1t

    Harmoney does the same way as anyone else does. The correct way. Your tax return is your responsibility not theirs.

    Squirrel deducts their fees and transfers to their reserve fund (that covers write-offs) prior to paying their P2P investors. RWT is then deducted from the net amount paid to P2P lenders.

    My understanding is not 100% as written above....

    I understand it is only the Borrowers Reserve Fund Levy that pays into the Reserve Fund.

    As per here >> https://www.squirrel.co.nz/invest/how-we-manage-risk

    Borrowers Do NOT pay anything into the Reserve Fund.....

    I stand to be corrected of course!

    I have tackled Harmoney over this numerous times over the years. There is absolutely no excuse for this. It means that when you make an application to fund a loan and receive an order back that you actually do not have an verified order at all. It is no more nor less than an acknowledgement and you may or may not have your order satisfied.
    I have designed many computer systems over the years and I can state categorically that the Harmoney processing system is absolute cr*p. It has been standard practice in IT for decades to lock records (as in a loan record) so that any orders against it are committed without any conflict from any other order. Harmoney usually get ****ty when I press them over their system failings but I don't care - they are amateurs when it comes to transaction processing. Apart from their ignorance, it really annoys me when I spend my time reviewing a loan, submitting an order, and receiving a verification only to eventually find out a few days later that the order failed - not even an email notification about it! I have to reconcile back to find what has happened. Such a waste of my time and so needless if they fixed their system to properly process.
    I wish everyone complained about this every time it happens so that they learned that they have a serious issue that needs fixing.

    Can't say I've ever seen a 'failed' loan in over $300K worth of loan purchases. I have 5 cancelled loans - my understanding is that a cancelled loan is one where the borrower pulls out (7 day cool off period is a legal requirement).?

    The issue of the 116% loan funding is, I believe, only in the 'frontend', most likely when multiple lenders hit the 'Red' error (can't remember what it says) when they have tried to purchase more notes then are available - yes it shouldn't happen, but I've never seen it in the 'backend', where a purchase needs to be reversed. Perhaps I've just been lucky?

    Harmoney, is in theory, more attractive now given the OCR has dropped. We have seen a boost in yeild stocks (utilities etc) because of this as their dividends are now more attractive, so in theory this would hold the same for Harmoney. With a balanced well diversified portfolio that has a long term consistent return (I've been around 12% for the last 24 months or so), this would put more "value" on the Harmoney investment.

    Speaking to a one of NZ's biggest fund managers over the weekend he stated that one of their competitors (another large NZ fund manager) had just gone into Harmoney, I forget who though!

    Yes agree. Looks like this may be seconded by things over at Squirrel right now.....
