I like it, looks very smart. Thanks for allowing us to switch to the old UI, this is really helpful. Some comments/suggestions: 1. as per the suggestion from MONEY , all lists should be able to be displayed on one page, or select how many per page, as per FS. Lots of instances, e.g. current investments, documents, repayments, etc... not just the SM. 2. I'd like the borrower column back on the SM, makes it easier to keep track of connected loans 3. Reduce number of decimal places on interest rate, best bid/offer to 1, remove them on loan size. Will reduce column width to allow borrower to fit cleanly. 4. I'd like to see all of the options on the Dashboard available from the horizontal menu in green. e.g. hover over 'Dashboard' and it'll bring up 'Deposit' and 'Withdrawal' options (I know you can hit the '+' as a shortcut to deposit funds), and replace 'Active Bids, Offers & Pledges' under 'Current Investments' with the 6 options ('Bids on new loans', 'Secondary bids',...). The point of this is to reduce the number of clicks required from wherever you are on the UI. Looks good, but 1. and especially 2. would be essential updates to stop me reverting to the old gui when using the SM. Wow, that was quick. 1. is sorted. Just need some way to identify related loans on the SM.

Well done ABL!! Just one gripe - not UI related, but I'd hoped the "Amend" secondary offer feature would let me change the percentage without having to cancel and then re-submit. Disappointed this isn't yet sorted.

ablrate - when attempting to amend an offer the link brings up a different loan - I think all links point to the same offer.

Looks good.
Would be better is all current investments showed on one page.
Also the current investment menu at the top has a sub-menu choice of Your Current Investment or Active Bids, accept i cant choose active bids from that menu as it goes right to your current investments.
Im using a Samsung tablet if thats any help.

Not connected to the UI but
1) on the transaction statement - please can the loan ID be included in the comments - so many loans have similar names and the loan ID is easier for differentiating them
2) Bid placed and Buy on transaction statement - please can the investment be split from the interest - if I bid or buy £300 of something I'd like it to show an entry for £300 (bid or investment) and then another line for the accrued interest paid - at the moment if I have a bid of £200 it shows as £201.15 which is messing up my spreadsheet as I have to manually split the entry into investment and accrued interest (-ve as I've paid it to some-one else). If I sell something it appears as 2 lines - one for the capital and one for the interest I've been paid... so can it be the same for bidding and buying (please).

I like the new design and navigation very much. Small point - please lose the redundant two decimal places throughout the secondary market (I appreciate that just the UI has changed). Major serious point. As said by others, the loss of the borrower identity from 'current investments' and 'secondary market' is unacceptable. Why has it gone? It almost looks like an attempt to hide the connectedness of the loans, which can now only be found by a circuitous route though the details of each loan. We all make some decisions about how much exposure we should have to one borrower. Recently I have been ordering the SM by Borrower, to adjust my holdings by borrower (in the context of an overall increase). Now that information has gone. Please re-instate borrower on CI and SM.

My dislike of these so called mobile UI's - guess getting too old. They just seem to waste space with extra large fonts and boxes around things, unnecessary extra icons as if we can't read will we can but doesn't help with large icon images then the text in light Gray hardly visible.
Other than my personal dislike, I can find my way around, thou account history is hidden under the logout drop down. Possible one of the most visited options, multiple loans payments on the same day combination of capital interest easy to read in one place than each notification / email if you get the email.
Tax statement - still the old one as far as I can see, it's not changed so no better.
Interest displayed is still incorrect, out by the correction on
$ grep -i "Correct" /home/ntayl01/Downloads/Ablrate_Lender_Transaction_History_-_Account_XXXX_-_Exported_On_20180129_181458.csv 10/08/2017 12:12:30,Correction,-xx.xx,nnn.nn,Correction on overpaid interest loan #1000073 07/02/2017 15:22:47,Correction,n.nn,nn.nn,Instant Returns on loan #1000058
Loan 1000073 for me is out by £xx.xx, and the interest displayed hasn't been adjusted by the £xx.xx. Also the tax statement interest is out by this amount, as it's in the 2017/18 tax year it doesn't matter yet.
What's it with the mobile generation don't they like downloading and working with spreadsheets etc. The download button doesn't work, and the display no longer defaults showing all transaction. Would also like to see downloads of current loans, and if possible all loans. Still doesn't include the loan number either, the only two that do are the above two corrections.
All loans it would help if had start date, maturity date, rate, Type interest only/amortising - would help on the current investments and SM also, loan number (by itself), borrower, title. if Cancelled, Repaid date if repaid.
Can put up with the so called modern user interfaces providing the functionality / correctness is there. The modern user interfaces are fine for those with the odd loans for larger numbers they just waste a lot of space. Off-line processing, in spreadsheet might have started in the 1970's or 1980's still something I want today. Things like the loan number would make it a whole lot easier.
Oh and the rounding errors show, Balance given as 0.00 then somewhere else see £0.01 available, a few places this is seen, like I have loans sold on the SM with £0.00 still available on the SM, they do eventually go once the loan is repaid.
Questionable Style over substance would sum it up. As said might be showing my age - doesn't matter as long as it look good on the mobile age just isn't my thing.

Seconded on major serious point - I also do this. Please re-instate the information.

Yup, Borrower ID is critical given the number of connected loans and variable choice of loan names. A code number / letter will do if space is at a premium.

After amending one loan offer I'm unable to amend any other offer - it just keeps opening the same loan I originally amended. Refreshing the page and logging on and off doesn't clear the issue and only deleting cookies seems to remedy the issue each time.....

Just one thing, not major but would be useful. Would it be possible for the button to switch between IFISA and standard accounts to be put on the top bar so that it is accessible from every page?

Agree with many of the points already raised.
One other bit of functionality that I was hoping would be coming with this change is a direct link from the Secondary bids / Secondary offers page to the respective loans. As it is I have to note the loan ID and then go to the SM page and open the loan from there.
Even better would be the ability to amend my bids/offers directly from the main loan "All bids and offers" page.
