How much experience do Funding Circle's key people have?ÄŻunding Circle proved long ago that it has a very large, fully-rounded team that easily competes with any bank. Without the raw data we can't assess the true position, but even 30% recovery compares fairly well with high-street banks. However, Funding Circle's chief risk officer estimated it's recovering around 30% of bad debt, while its website offered a conflicting picture. That's very good for these kinds of loans, which usually have no hard property that can be easily repossessed and sold to cover losses. Some years ago, when Funding Circle used to provide its raw data, we found it was recovering around 40%. There's a good geographic spread of loans across the UK's four nations and ten regions, which could help to keep bad debts smooth if a region starts suffering greater problems.ÄŻunding Circle has proven itself to be at least pretty good at recovering bad debt. We can't, for example, see the spread between risky and less risky loans that lenders can have allocated to them.

Funding Circle review: how does Funding Circle work?ÄŻunding Circle works rather like many P2P lending sites in that it automatically spreads your money across lots of loans, sets interest rates on your behalf, and gives you the option to potentially sell your owns to other lenders if you want to leave early. The share-price movements after listing were mostly not correlated to loan performance, and a falling price does not endanger the business itself. Like many innovative businesses that go public, its price was set far too high to begin with, and so it plummeted after listing. It has grown to the size of a bank, both in terms of the volume of loans it now approves, which is ÂŁ1.5 billion per year, and in its staffing levels in all the key skill areas.ÄŻunding Circle is the only UK P2P lending site listed on the stock market.
