We are contacting you to let you know some important information about ArchOver and our plans for 2023 and beyond.
ArchOver has made the strategic decision to exit the P2P market effective from today (10/01/2023) and we will not be accepting any new retail Lenders and will not be posting any new P2P investment opportunities to our platform. As you are well aware, our main focus to date has been on P2P, but increasing costs and regulation, alongside unpredictable Lender appetite during these volatile times, means we need to move to a model that gives us volume and security of funds, and that means institutional money.
It is important to state that from a Lender’s point of view, nothing will change moving forward. Your investment(s) will continue, ArchOver will still service your loans and any recoveries and carry out our usual monthly monitoring etc. as before.
For a couple of Borrowers who have loans coming up for refinance in the very near future, we may grant these businesses a short term extension for their capital repayment whilst they seek to raise alternative funds. We will be in touch separately with regards to these extensions.
If you have any questions, please email us in the first instance and we will respond to you as quickly as we can.
Kind regards,
ArchOver Lender Team

I use to be an investor with Archover and was very pleased with them but when they had their first failure I decided to get out a ASAP which I don't regret as some of my loans which I would normally have carried over for another term went into failure. I believe Archover were being very economical with the truth about secured, insured, assured loans. Thankfully I lost no money with them and I hope something gets resolved for those who are in the failed loans.

The "insurance" was basically worthless and essentially just a marketing ploy. Unless someone has evidence it ever paid out?

I have been running down Archover for a while. I've had three loans default so far. One recovered in full, one only returned 32.8% (secured & insured), the other is ongoing. My interest earned is higher than the capital still invested so I'll end up with a profit.

My interest earned is higher than the capital still invested so I'll end up with a profit. Assuming my remaining defaulted/delayed loans E**m, the offices and the lawyers are a total write off (and I only really hold up any hope for the last of these) capital losses will have wiped out 2/3 of my all time interest on this platform. I think that puts it in my top 4 worse performers, after Collateral and (in all likelihood) Crowdstacker and Abundance - although at least I will still have made a profit with Archover, unlike the other three. The lack of secondary market to get out early was the big issue here (cf Lendy/MT/ABL/AC/FS where good SMs allowed an exit at the first signs of trouble - or perhaps more accurately, in anticipation of trouble and while liquidity was still partially available)

My exit with ArchOver was a positive one, all capital returned with profit.
The lack of secondary market may have saved lenders like me dipping into trouble loans.

Archover expects wind down to take 2+ years.
“An operations team will remain in place to conduct the wind down, this is expected to take at least 24 months.
“The principle activity of the company will be to monitor, review and manage the existing loan portfolio, working with each borrower to ensure repayments of interest and capital are repaid in a timely manner with no unnecessary interruption to the lenders’ payment scheduled. This includes the management or sale of any loans to a third party.

Some bumps in the road, but Archover is managing this wind down without larding the process with extra charges like some other platforms I could mention.
