These polls have been useful in selecting my platform choices in the past so with ISA season ending/starting the current state of play would be interesting to know. It's been a turbulent year in some sectors of P2P so I imagine the results may differ from what we've seen before.
Only platforms you are actively using, not any you are winding down or attempting to exit! No doubt there are some I have missed so please do mention any notable absentees!
Hopefully enough people see it tucked into the polls section to get a reasonable read on things.

HNW is missed, and Crowd2fund.
What I feel would be very useful is which of these are well liked / investment would be increased, including those not fully evaluated yet. I clicked Yes for FS, appears well used, but I suspect many of those in FS would rather they weren’t. Ditto Lendy?

I'm also lending in CapitalRise and Brickowner.
If your interested in euro based lending, I'm lending on Mintos, Robocash and Grupeer.

Well as a very small minnow in the P2P world I'm not sure my votes are worth a whole point in each lender but voted anyway.

Thanks everyone for the votes!
A week on it's interesting viewing and I've learned a few things ....
-The rapid rises and falls from grace are as evident as ever
-Assetz are top with their mix of manual and access offerings
-Unbolted are surprisingly (to me) widely used
-Black box offerings such as RS/LW are popular even by forumites
-but perhaps most of all .....
It makes me wonder how some platforms survive if so few members of a P2P forum are even using them!! 🤔
I'm considering a few platforms that weren't on my radar off the back of it anyway so thanks again.

I believe FC has the most investors 79000 joined, but not sure how many are "actively" lending.

I now stick to the bigger P2P. They maybe not be the most attractive, but I'm a believer in safety in numbers. The bigger they are, the less likely they are to have fail. I've already had my fingers burned with Lendy, so I will not be investing in any smaller P2P have have doubts about.

Returns are getting lower and withdrawal queues are rapidly growing.

Also for me is HNW Lending and Twino, both of which are amongst my preferred platforms nowadays

For what it's worth I've started dabbling in Proplend.
Sh*t, just realised it's on the list. I'll go tick it and then go and stick my head in an ice bucket
