Not a dumb question. Yes - as it is a personal loan you'll get P&I back each month on your investment. With a $500 investment it will be roughly $10 per month. Initially that will be mostly interest.
You're right that with a minimum bid in our platform of $500 you cannot reinvest small returns and that will lower your effective interest rate. You'd need to be regularly investing $500 into the platform to maximise your return or have a larger amount invested.

Woop woop. Heard it here first.
We've had our SECONDARY MARKET approved and will hopefully have it live later this month as it's already built. The Secondary Market will allow investors to sell their loans back to the platform at face value provided we have an investor on the platform who is happy with the rate and remaining term.

Thanks JB. Any news on earning interest on the call account? This will somewhat help with my reinvestment problem.
And congrats on the secondary market approval!

That is good news, I might have to see if I can jump through enough hoops to finally get my account fully active.

And In the Inbox this Afternoon:
I have an email from Snowball effect that Squirrel Group is looking for $5m in expansion capital:
"The capital will be used to grow the mortgage broking business and develop the peer to peer lending business. This is likely to be the last capital that Squirrel raises prior to an anticipated listing"

We have a real world situation here and you you go off to la-la-land ?
When the docs come out I will give them serious look.

Not really comparable as the majority of Squirrels valuation is on the mortgage business.
