Loans on Mintos

Mintos is unique in the way that they do not issue loans – the loans are brought to the platform by their partner lending companies from around the world. Lending companies provide alternative financing to individuals and small businesses. They check that the companies they work with have a strong track record in loan origination, professional risk management, and a solid financial standing. To help fund the loans they issue, lending companies cooperate with Mintos to offer loan-backed investments to retail investors.
