Find the best peer-to-peer lending accounts in the UK

Weeks of research, calculations and interviews by 4thWay’s specialists go into each and every provider shown in our comparison tables, making it easier for investors to identify the best peer-to-peer lending companies in the UK market.

Showing 29 peer-to-peer lending accounts for you to compare. Sorted by best 4thWay PLUS Rating first, then by Risk Score and finally by interest rate.

The 4thWay PLUS Ratings in the P2P lending comparison table assume you spread your money across 100s or 1,000s of loans in 6+ lending accounts, and hold your loans until they're fully repaid by the borrowers. Focus on your overall returns across all loans and P2P lending sites, not individual performances. The ratings are based on interest rates and a forecast of the risk of borrowers not repaying all their debt in a severe recession and property crash. Understand the risks before you lend. When you compare peer-to-peer lending accounts, read the reviews to get more information. Find out how P2P lending accounts qualify for listing.
