Terrible

Terrible, terrible company. Absolute sharks. Gave hope, took all the fees, promised the 1000s I paid was refundable but no loan, no refund of fees. I was in a bad place and needed help. My advice to anyone is to look elsewhere. These people take advantage of vulnerability.

I had been very impressed with all the loans I had taken with bridge crowd. Eirianfa loan has been extremely badly managed, allowing the borrowers to stall without payment for well over 18 months. There will of been no payments for a minimum 2 years. This could of been dealt with earlier and with more efficiently of time.

The Bridge Crowd are THIEVES

The Bridge Crowd are complete THIEVES. They delayed and cost me thousands when I took the initial bridge out and to my complete amazement they charged me almost £80000 in default interest and fees because I could not redeem The bridge whilst in COVID lockdown and Valuer’s not able to go out for almost 3 months.

Loan still outstanding after it was meant to mature in 2017. Progress updates used to be monthly although going around in a circle and no progress. No more updates since the beginning of this year. What is happening with this loan? I don't know. Rather deceiving that they still publish on their website that there is 0 capital loss.

Been with Thebridgecroud as an investor…

Been with Thebridgecroud as an investor for 2 years there are plenty of loans to choose from, the site is easy to use, the communication is excellent, quite a number of loans overrun the payback date but up till now all of the principle and interest has been repaid, I still have a number of loans that are outstanding, I have reduced my investment but in the event that all of these loans are repaid I will substantially increase my investment. They deserve five stars but I am sticking with four for the time being.

The Bridge Crowd Is The Best I Found

The Bridge Crowd has been consistently excellent for earning a good return on my saved capital for nearly two years now.
I can pick the loans I wish to invest in.
I can pick how much I want to invest in each.
There is a huge amount of info about each loan available on their website and easily accessible.
It’s all very straightforward and transparent.
They tend to mostly offer loans on residential properties which are already in saleable condition not long term developments which can go badly wrong.

A heft 5k starting investment but 100%…

Aka: Eco-Earth Products

A heft 5k starting investment but 100% worth it. Out of all the p2p outlets on the market Bridge Crowd has the best quality loans and is very swift and professional when dealing with late repayments or defaults.They (as of now) have a 100% track record on capital and intrest recovery, a very impressive feat.

They have a great track record and know the market well, It is a shame that cowboys like lendy and funding secure (who had no idea what they were doing) and the shady stuff they were upto is finally coming out via the admins - have been allowed to tarnish the p2p market.

Fear not, you won't get any of the crap like 'forgetting' to aquire the assets, posting misleading updates or lying about the LTV.

Very good at what they do.

Very good at what they do.
I have been investing with Bridge Crowd since 2018, and have been more than happy with their management of the whole P2P lending process. Although there is always risk associated with this type of investment, their Risk Mitigation appears to be very effective.
I will certainly be re-investing my money when my next loan is repaid.

Have been very good to deal with so far. My only niggle is the 5k min deposit, in the the event of a part repayment there might be 2k sat doing nothing and may have the ability to add to at that time, without withdrawing from another investment. So inevitably I draw the money out and put elsewhere.

One of my favourite P2P sites

I have been investing in P2P since 2012 and in that time I have used over 30 P2P platforms. In recent years I have withdrawn from most of those sites and in the last year I have increased my investment with only one site and that site is Bridgecrowd.

Since I started with Bridgecrowd in 2016 I have recorded no loss of capital or interest and most loans have repaid on time.

The website is somewhat basic and communications can sometimes be hit and miss but Bridgecrowd are really good at what really matters, arranging and administering loans and taking prompt and effective action when necessary.

One downside is that if capital losses do occur then they cannot be used to offset profits at other P2P sites to reduce tax liability because Bridgecrowd does not qualify as a P2P site for this purpose.

My favourite P2P company

With any P2P loan platform there are going to be defaults. How they handle these defaults is the most important factor.
Bridgecrowd are the most aggressive and successful in managing these loans.
With other companies I am fearful when a loan defaults - with Bridgecrowd I feel confident.

Satisfied investor…

I have been investing with Bridge Crowd for just over 2 years I am satisfied that sufficient checks are made on lenders to ensure that my money is safe and also that there is ample security. I started off with a small investment and have now increased it substantially and use the monthly interest as a source of income.
When I apply for a withdrawal it usually comes through immediately.
I have recommended the company to a number of my friends and clients and, as far as I am aware, they are all satisfied.
The only improvement I am hoping for is that their IFISA application will be authorised soon.

Good investment platform

I have been investing with Bridgecrowd since October 2018. In that time I have had excellent returns. Yes, a couple of borrowers defaulted which put a delay on income for a couple of months whilst Bridgecrowd sorted out the problem and all monies and interest were paid in full. Investors on these platforms should expect some borrowers to default. It is inevitable, but looking on the positive side, loans are set against real estate so if a borrower defaults he stands to lose his asset!
I will certainly be continuing trading with Bridgecrowd..
