All investments carry risk. We manage it with diversification and prudent lending.
When you add money, it sits briefly in a separate SmartSaver bank account, not mixed with operational funds. It is then invested into new or existing Creditstar loans (across eight countries and multiple market sectors), and you acquire rights to the related loan claims.
If Monefit were ever bankrupt: uninvested funds in the separate account would not form part of operational assets. Once invested, you own the loan claims and the right to repayments and proceeds generated from those customer loans.
Geographic and sector diversification; loan caps with a maximum loan size of €15,000 to reduce concentration risk.
Investor protection relies on: separated handling of uninvested funds, legal ownership of loan claims once allocated, and the financial strength and diversification of Creditstar (profitable since 2006; audited annually by KPMG).
