In person? It's got to be Ratesetter - most other platforms are sufficiently complicated/platform risk needs explaining that the person you are talking would lose the will to live ....

It would depend on the person True. But I just met most of those people asking me just 2 minutes before, so I know nothing about them. What do you answer, if you don't know the person?

Jack P I agree. Large platform, likely to survive, better rates than Zopa. Not much to think about. If they seemed an adventurous sort I might say start with Ratesetter and look at this forum.

I used to recommend LC, FC, and Rebs, but not anymore. Stay clear of all SME platforms, they are going nowhere good. Now I just need to listen to my own advice...

I always find it hard to avoid my own advice to I put some more money in FS yesterday even though there is nothing there I actually want at the moment

So actually you DO feel comfortable with making an outright recommendation for a named marketplace?
Maybe I think to much and overanalyse on having to much feedback from investors that have different approaches and likings. Based on that I am fairly certain that there is a high probability of what I prefer is likely not what the other person will prefer, would he have experienced and tried several marketplaces.

My mother is just putting money onto RS, at my recommendation.
It just so happens that it's by far and away the best platform for her quite specific situation, sure, but it's easily the one I'm most comfortable suggesting to Joe Average.

Based on that I am fairly certain that there is a high probability of what I prefer is likely not what the other person will prefer, would he have experienced and tried several marketplaces. To me it would depend on the person and how much they had and what other investment they had but if you wanted a generic one then for most would be rate setter due to the ease of use

I've recommended AC (specifically the provision fund protected accounts) to P2P newbies and would continue to do so.
