Do our loans in both invest and ISA by chance get lent to borrowers via say a retail outlet. If they do does anyone know whether our loan is with the retailer or the actual borrower.
The reason I ask is I read somewhere that this is happening more and more in P2P and was curious what happens if the retailer, in the example I read it was car financing, goes bust. Does the loan get assigned to zopa and ultimately to me say or is it lost money.
I think I read it in passing in the FT but it was a couple of days ago and can;t find the reference anymore. probably having another senior moment myself ;-)

so the loans are between the lender and the borrower individuals does that mean that Zopa does all the credit checks etc. I found the article that concerned me in Which of all places. It was referring to an issue with ratesetter last year and a wholesale vehicle finance company "news/2017/09/is-peer-to-peer-lending-heading-for-trouble/" it was older than I thought but it just got me thinking about my loans etc.

aju, one example of a partnership is commuterclub. The loans for the tickets there get financed by Zopa lenders (used to be Ratesetter lenders, but they switched recently)

What's the difference between this kind of partnership via an app, and saffron building society partnership, if any?
