Funding Circle is currently returning cashback to lenders, taken out of the borrowers’ fees, if you take part in the loan auctions listed below.

All the loans are listed as A+, which is Funding Circle's highest grade. Barely a dozen A+ loans out of more than 1,000 have gone bad since Funding Circle started in 2010.

The cashback boosts the return lenders get to considerably more than average for these kinds of loans.

A+, commercial property mortgage for 35 months in Kent

  • 8.5% fixed interest, which is an estimated 6.9% after Funding Circle feesLTV mortgages and first charges
  • Cashback of 1.5% on top.
  • 80% LTV mortgage with a first charge.

The auction finishes at 10.30am on Tuesday 16 December at the latest.

This is a first-come, first-served loan. This means you can't keep bidding after the auction is fully funded, so you will not be able to bid lower to steal the loan part from another individual lender at the last minute.

Four-fifths of the £300,000 loan is already funded.

You will receive both interest payments and repayment of some of your original loan on a monthly basis, so you’ll need to re-lend both.

A+, residential property development loan for 16 months in Cheshire

  • 8% fixed interest, which is an estimated 6.4% after Funding Circle Fees.
  • Cashback of 1.5% on top.
  • 52% LTV mortgage with a first charge.

The auction finishes at 12.43pm on Tuesday 16 December at the latest.

This is another first-come, first-served loan.

£88,000 of this £200,000 loan has already been funded.

This is an interest-only loan, which means you’ll receive interest payments monthly and your actual loan will be repaid at the end; since you don’t receive partial repayments for your actual loan each month, you will get interest on the full amount without having to re-lend it (although you will need to re-lend the interest).

A+, residential property development loan for 13 months in Cornwall

  • 8% fixed interest, which is an estimated 6.4% after Funding Circle Fees.
  • Cashback of 1.5% on top.
  • 63% LTV mortgage with a first charge.

The auction finishes at 2.47pm on Wednesday 17 December at the latest.

This is another first-come, first-served loan.

Four-fifths of this £200,000 loan has already been funded.

This is an interest-only loan.

A+, residential property development loan for 16 months in Northampton

  • 8% fixed interest, which is an estimated 6.4% after Funding Circle Fees.
  • Cashback of 1.5% on top.
  • 56% LTV mortgage with a first charge.

The auction finishes at 5.04pm on Thursday 18 December at the latest.

This is another first-come, first-served loan.

For-fifths of this £200,000 loan has already been funded.

This is an interest-only loan.

About cashback and the interest rates

Cashback can be lent out again swiftly and it is not taxed. Thus, it is more valuable than adding 1.5% to the interest rate for shorter loans. However, for loans over several years this can reverse, because cashback is a one-off and annual interest is not.

Average annual interest for lending to A+ loans without cashback is currently between 6.2% and 6.7%, depending on how much of your money is not on loan and earning interest in a year, which reduces the interest you get.
