There is a risk with ANY P2P platform. Most platforms have limited info on who runs them / limited financials etc. etc. some will make things sound better than they actually are - you will just never know.
As long as you never put more money in any platform that you would not be able to afford to lose, you will be OK. If losing money would financially break you - do not invest in P2P at all.

I have just received this email today that I am noticed that I will not be able to make deposits through Paysera Bank in Lithuania, I have also noticed that they have changed the bank to Euro deposits is called Baltic International Bank from Latvia.:
I am afraid that this is related to the banking problem in Latvia following the sanctions imposed on Russia.

They have changed the EUR bank account 2 times already in recent months. It seems strange to me. One time I would understand, but two times without any explanation?
"will be temporarily limited for a number of countries"
"Payments already made, or to be made in the next coming day"
The way they announce the news is very vague too

I don't like it either. Too many changes in such a short period of time. No official explanation for the changes is offered. It looks like the banks are cautious or try to avoid Mintos. I really hope this is not the case, but it certainly looks like that.

Yes, an explanation is needed on those issues
As a matter of fact I had not paid attention the the change of bank and made a deposit, fortunately it was processed
Paysera it could be a matter of limits on how much money they can receive and they might have reached it already this early due to a boom in investors, who knows
In any case, poor communication is never a good thing and makes investors nervous, rightfully so

Regarding the changing of banks: Its most likely due to what has happened in the banking sector in recent months. Since mintos has investors from all over the world (lots of countries outside of EU for example), maybe some of the banks are getting scared that there could be some dirty money coming in as well and with all the accusations flying around, they don't want to take any chances. Mintos has probably quite a big cash flow and money coming and going from all directions... For those that don't know, few months ago USA FinCEN published a report saying a Latvian bank is not doing its job to check whether their foreign clients can be trusted (money laundering, terrorism etc). This lead to a run on the bank (since the bank mostly deals with foreign clients (mostly Russia and other ex-USSR countries), the local economy is fine - well apart from a few hundred employees at the said bank) and ECB decision that the bank should be closed for good. So financial regulator, ECB and everyone is one the edge, banks are decreasing their non-resident portfolios and getting rid of shady clients. www.fincen.gov/news/news-releases/fincen-names-ablv-bank-latvia-institution-primary-money-laundering-concern-and |
