Following my previous poll in 2015 (p2pindependentforum.com/thread/3551/p2p-independent-forum-company-2015) I thought it would be worth repeating this. The previous winners were Saving Stream, MoneyThing and RateSetter.
I have included all peer-to-peer companies that have a board here, but if I have omitted any company you would want to vote for then please feel free to select "other". Everyone can have up to three votes. The poll will close on the 1st December.

I will be publicising this poll today and I am pleased to say that this year there will be an actual award presented to the winners, therefore I would encourage users to vote for their favourite platforms.
There are a number of awards for P2P platforms but these tend to be voted for by insiders, rather than those who are the most knowledgeable on these platforms. I hope the platforms also encourage users to sign up and interact on here.

Just a reminder that the poll will close on 1st December, so there are just over 2 days left to vote for your favourite platform. The awards have been ordered and will be presented to the winners in December or January.

The board staff have noted that a number of "Platform Reps" have participated in this poll. I'm sure they have done so with completely neutral and altruistic motivation :-) While easteregg and forum members no doubt welcome the enthusiasm and the apparent kudos being attached to the outcome which appears to have encouraged platform participation in the vote, it is not really quite in the spirit of things. The board staff are therefore requesting that platform reps refrain from voting, and those who have withdraw their vote (by simply unticking their vote). Thank you for your co-operation.

I was debating repeating my 'unofficial review of the year' polls from last year, as the bar has been raised to having actual prizes I may not sure I can compete...

Jack P Sorry to disappoint, but whilst board staff can tell who has voted, that is all they can tell, and like most votes what they (or anyone) voted is entirely between them, their conscience, and whoever they may choose to tell . We wouldn't if we could, and I don't think even Pro-Boards can do that, so you'd best try the man himself, even assuming he's voted

Well done MoneyThing for topping the poll Well deserved IMHO - keep the good work savingstream... there are several reasons (JMHO) you slipped to 2nd potion; comms is the main reason...

Happy to see the top 5 in the poll are also my top 5 (in the UK) , hopefully i'm doing something right (total newbie, been in P2P for 2 months) MT definitely deserves the number one spot in my eyes, they have pretty much everything i am looking for in a platform (high liquidity, decent flow of new loans, good diversification, high interest), Collateral with an explosive new entry right to number 4 spot, very impressive as well.

And dragging the rates down Surprised to see AC so high, I have tried a few times to consider investing and never seen anything worthwhile (and plenty with 'issues')

MT and Collateral are the only two I voted for. I do invest in 5 other platforms but didn't think any deserved the third vote. Pleased to see BondMason did well, while I don't currently invest with them they do seem to have the right approach.

Congratulations to Money Thing, SavingStream and Assetz Capital. A notable mention also for Collateral for nearly making it into the top three and this is quite amazing for a new platform.
The members of the P2P Independent Forum are some of the most knowledgeable on peer-to-peer lending and as such these awards should carry some weight.
