I'm not sure whether the reinvestment settings are working properly, or if perhaps there's a rule I'm not aware of.
Just had my first repayment on a 5 year loan. A whole £9.67. My reinvestment settings are (and always have been) that "All" repayments (cap+int) on 5 year loans should be reinvested in the 5 year market at the market rate. However £9.67 has gone into my holding account and so doesn't look to be on offer. I assume that this is related to the £10 minimum loan. But can I safely assume that the system "knows" that this holding a/c money is to be lent on 5 years as soon as it hits the minimum £10? The £10 minimum loan is very intuitive for new loans, but when you're auto-reinvesting you're bound to get small / strange amounts trickling through and it would be good to understand exactly how it works. I would suggest the FAQs could be beefed up in this area, or maybe a note on the page for reinvestment settings.

The £10 limit certainly applies for reinvestment but as a 'control freak' with a largish investment I've always manually reinvested so I can't help with auto-reinvesting.

You are exactly right, the day that your repayments take the holding account balance to >=£10, your money will be offered in accordance with your reinvestment settings. I often have days throughout the month in which my repayments are less than £10. At the next repayment run the amounts are added together and the combined amount of money goes out in 1 offer (if >=£10).

Matt Hi Matt.I have holdings in the Monthly,3 year and 5 year accounts and these generate a number of small repayments.I have the same reinvestment settings as you and can confirm that having passed through my holding accounts they are reinvested in the appropriate markets.Over time you will see these contracts build up in your portfolio.
