Are corporate bonds the better lending alternative to P2P?

Going for the moon! On the investmen we have a minimum £100 for Robowise (although it works better with a £1000 plus) or £100 per bond self selection - thereafter it's a penny.


Noted on the Robowise reporting - yes we are planning to consolidate - scheduled in. We're currently working on getting the full APP launched and the stock exchange listing but I think by next year everything will be super slick all the way through.   

If you can find some other historic bonds still outstanding let me know. Maybe in the future we might create a centurion market (if you can think of a better name let me know) on the site just for nostalgia.

Although many of those will be physical certificate settlement with the type of old school hand signed certificates that are probably worth more framing and putting on the wall!   

still remember the good old days,which for me was the 70's & 80's when you could go to the Post Office to buy your savings certificate (and walk away with it on the day if i remember correctly) and while they have stopped new Ones and there not as good as they used to be rate wise there are an estimated 500,000 people still holding and rolling over the old Ones  

Premium bonds in the 80s and 90s were what I grew up with - I remember waiting eagerly for the post to see if I won any of the big prizes - sadly just the £50 and an occasional £100. I remember the story that got passed around that some lucky sod with the minimum amount had got the £1m prize. 

Now the NS&I has got on the tech bandwagon.... and you can check if you are chicken dinner with Amazon's Alexa!

ITS ALIVE,

Welcome back WiseAlpha. I just popped onto the forum to see treetophuggers latest posts, and saw a thread had exploded like the old days.

I hope you stick around again and its not just treetophugger trying to keep the community alive.

Nice to see a few old names pop up again too.

Well, it is just a self-certification, anyone can tick any box, answer some basic questions and invest as much as they want. But I agree, this might put a few prospective new p2p investors off (if you tick "restricted' box" - description is not very welcomming)
