UK Peer-to-Peer Lending For Overseas Residents

More ID checks for overseas lenders

If the P2P lending site is headquartered in the UK you will generally face greater hurdles when trying to open an overseas account, such as more manual checks to try to confirm your identity.

You must be UK resident to open an IFISA

While you can open peer-to-peer lending accounts from overseas, you must be a resident of the UK to open an IFISA.
