Auto Loan seems the way to go The return on these Blend's investments are far better than those I can get elsewhere but I did get frustrated because there were fewer deals to invest in over the last year or so. However, this is very different now with plenty of investments coming up every other day. I have only a small amount of capital in the app and when there's an investment coming up (Blend email with deals which are coming up the day before) I transfer the capital I have decided to Auto Loan. This means that there's only a small amount of capital + the interest I'm making sitting in the account and the rest of the capital is making a great return.

Nice people. Good product. I have been a P-2-P investor for a few years (much better rates than banks). Blend Network are excellent. The process is straight-forward, data is transparent and easy to understand, returns are very good and their customer service is second to none. Nice people delivering a very good product.

Unrealistic advertised returns I'm with many of the other reviewers on here - your money simply sits around too long in their bank account waiting in a queue for investing. My money has been sitting in their client account earning nothing for 6 months. Factor that in, and their claimed 8-12% pa is hard to achieve. If only they could turn money around faster and get it working quicker it would be a great investment opportunity. Their standard answer on here about 'quality investments' ignores the issue investors keep raising with them. I think you can find better overall returns with other lenders.

Property investment A fantastic opportunity to invest in syndicated property loans without hassle. I like how Blend presents the information on each deal very clearly and transparently and it feels like the due diligence on each deal is very strong. Sometimes you do need to wait for a few weeks until your money is deployed, but certainly worth the wait from my point of view.

I really like this company I really like this company. They seem very genuine. Their project and industry updates are great and their direct communications with investors are prompt, professional and friendly. However, the length of time it takes to Invest even a minimal amount (£1000) can be months. Perhaps during times when there are less loans available the maximum investment can be reduced?
