The loan are exactly the same as Creamfinance and Banknote. The loans themselves are not back by any collateral, but the loan originators (creamfinanace, banknote, Lendo) are giving us Buy Back garantee.
They can do this because the loans (probably) have interest rates around the 30-40% and they are only giving us 11-14%.

I think this is normal for short-term unsecured personal loans. Loan originators usually charge the borrowers per month roughly the same interest rate they give us per year! This way they cover their expenses, defaults (default rate for personal unsecured loans is quite high >10%) and, of course, they manage to make a profit. So, nothing unusual here. Of course interest rates will lower if everyone jumps on Lendo loans; let's only hope that Creamfinance and Banknote will react and increase their rates before that happens.
Now, the question is what is the financial state of Lendo? I was unable to find any relevant financial data. Will such a new company be in a position to honor their buyback guarantee should a stream of defaults strike?

with banknote gone, creditstar only providing little amounts compared to creamfinance and lendo... lendo now tries with 11.6 percent, down from 14 to 13 to 12.1 to 11.6....
understandable from their point of view, but not so nice for us investors... hopefully some new loan originators arrive..

Makes no difference to me; i stopped buying the moment they went down to 11.6. This is the market working. You can't blame Lendo. They will reduce the rate until investors are no longer willing to fund the loans, then they know they have reached the equilibrium rate. Why pay more than they need to for their funds? For what it's worth, I think the days of 12% and over with buyback guarantees are gone. It's just too good a deal and the flow of funds for investment is greater than the volume of opportunities available. It's either 13-15% with security but no guarantee, or else 11-something with buyback. That's the new normal.

11.1% loans were available whole day, now they are all gone.
Yes, it is free market and Lendo will reduce the rate until investors are no longer willing to invest. 11.5% is my personal minimum for short time loans up to 30 days and won't invest at 11.1%. Free market works for me too and there are other platforms with 12% short time loans.
