Google users ask: Is lend.ch reputable?

Since 2016, we at LEND have been offering low-interest rates for our borrowers and a good return for our investors. Thanks to our TV ads, poster campaigns and, above all, the many recommendations we have received, our crowdlending platform has become a household name in the Swiss lending sector.

It is very interesting for us to follow the feedback we receive from our borrowers and investors, but of course also to see how page views on LEND have increased since then. In particular, search engine hits have increased significantly. We have also discovered the following search query:

Is lend.ch reputable?

Of course, the answer is ‘Yes, lend.ch is reputable!’. More on this in detail soon. Firstly, we would like to say that we think it is fundamentally right and important to ask this question. When a participant appears on the credit market offering excellent conditions and low-interest rates, a certain degree of scepticism is natural. And investors also need to scrutinize which platform they use to invest money. That's why we report on our LEND blog about what happens behind the scenes, how we create transparency and how the favourable loan and mortgage offers come about.

Investors' experiences with lend.ch

Potential investors are wondering whether they should invest in our loan projects. One example can be found in the forum at Moneyland.ch. We also create transparency here: our statistics page contains the key figures for the investment. We are proud that we don't have to shy away from comparison with the Swiss Bond Index and perform significantly better. Incidentally, our team also regularly invests in credit projects because we believe in our risk model. To date, we have financed more than 7,000 projects with a total volume of over CHF 400 million via our platform.

Who is behind lend.ch?
