    I have registered am looking at whats on the market - which so far has only been 1 x residential property purchase loan at 8.29% - On a 5 year term with interest only repayments.

    For me harmoney works well because I can invest small amounts over lots of loans ($25 minimum)
    Squirrel Money has potential because while it has a $500 Minimum and it has loan shield
    Lendme however has $1000 minimum and nothing like loan shield - So im not sure ill be able to make it work for me

    The 3 companies have also taken very different approaches in what they disclose about the borrowers to investors

    Harmoney - borrower demographics, loan amount, repayments, income, location, credit grade.
    Squirrel Money - for all intensive purposes nothing is disclosed - just secured/unsecured
    Lendme - Everything is disclosed the current loan has full name, address, several months bank statements, full credit checks on both borrowers, full list of other assets, copy of property sale & purchase agreement

    Harmoney - I invest only a v small amount but with the amount of neg publicity and the terrible investor dashboard, I'm going off them. Plus it's unsecured, which I'll expand on below.
    Squirrel - I couldn't get the user verification process to work. Tried a number of times holding my license to the web cam, then scanned it and tried uploading that way - but even then it didn't work. Plus choosing the return rate seems too involved for me.
    LendMe - the 'buy in' is more significant however it's totally secured lending and feels a bit more grown up than something like Harmoney which feels like GE finance dressed up as p2p.

    LendMe provides three levels of disclosure that Lenders can see:

    1. Disclosure - Borrowers’ names are disclosed to registered lenders.
    2. Partial disclosure - All supporting loan documents are released to registered lenders, but borrowers’ names, addresses and contact details are removed.
    3. Anonymous - Borrowers’ names are not disclosed and no supporting loan documents are released to registered lenders. Registered lenders receive instead a basic loan summary.

    LendMe fees fair and reasonable

    Fees charged by LendMe are fair and reasonable and determined by the level of risk, says CEO Marcus Morrison. The specialist secured peer to peer lender says, unlike finance companies, its fees do not fall within the confines of the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act (CCCFA).

    As yet none of the loans offered on lendme have been of interest to me (not with the $1000 minimum investment per loan anyway)

    Does anyone know if lend me has actually financed loans yet? One loan seems to have been there weeks and is only 0.7% financed.

    The other well let's just say its going its going to take a lot more then 9% to interest me in defaults, dishonours, liquidation applications, low credit scores and court judgments
