I am sure that it comes as no surprise to active lenders, that there is currently a risk-reward disconnect between ISA Money and Non-ISA money.
Our HNW lenders and IFA introduced lenders, have 2 interest rate expectations on their money.
In simple terms, this is roughly 2-3% differential yield expectation p.a. which is a discount flowing through to lower cost of borrowing and better quality borrowers who quite correctly can command lower interest rates creating a virtuous cycle.
ISA money is disrupting the traditional price of capital, making P2P ISA borrowing considerably more attractive than it was before. Traditional banks and balance sheet lenders are starting to feel the disruption, we as a platform have since formation, planned to attract these prime borrowers reducing the risk of capital loss for our growing lender base.
We do however currently have a dominance of ISA money flowing onto the platform and we are keen to continue to attract non-ISA capital.
We are seeking feedback from all lenders, market forces will dictate the gross interest rates payable by borrowers.

I think the poll needs clarification - is this the gross rate on each loan, or the rate I expect to actually receive after accounting for bad debts/recoveries? (and don't tell me there won't be any, because I won't believe it).

Valid point - it’s the gross rate.

I have invested in the auto invest AC PSA which is protected with a provision fund and suffers from little or no cash drag and I get the same 5.5% target rate inside and outside the ISA wrapper. I put a value of about 1.5% on the PF protection so 7% plus for me.

This is a really enlightening poll, and the comments are very much appreciated.
I am sure savvy lenders are more than aware, that once the ISA money starts to dominate any platform liquidity, nearly all loans will be filled as soon as they are approved by ISA pot auto-bids, making individual loan selection redundant.
Individual loan selection will only be relevant when purchasing loans on the secondary market, however this will also become redundant if lenders decide to initiate auto-bid on secondary markets. Something we have decided not to switch on at the moment.

Always some wriggle room It feels like the right decision from my perspective though, Some form of manual control for those who want it should be maintained.
