I have not been able to call up the FAQ's page, over the last few days. Is this a new problem or a new page, not yet published ? FAQ works fine for me... Interesting. Doesn't work for me on Firefox. Does work on horrible Microsoft Edge. On Firefox I can see the FAQs but they don't expand when clicked.

hmmm, should have tried this. Works well in Chrome. Doesn't work in Opera. (doesn't work in the new MS thingy, but that is probably me; I don't like it).

I am a new investor on this site. My first part month income comes to £18.08. It so happens that I have another £5,000 to invest, but I cannot invest £5,018.08. Am I going to accumulate a lot of £50's (an parts) each month to withdraw ?

Yeah that's one of the downsides of the new site - they used to pay the interest direct to your bank account each month, now you have to log on and withdraw it, and last time I looked it's min £100 to withdraw, which is a bit of a problem if you're on your first investment. Once you have a few investments you get enough that you can withdraw straightaway. If you're planning another tho suggest you just transfer in enough to make 5k

If you're planning another tho suggest you just transfer in enough to make 5k Also I notice that if you transfer in £6,000 or £7,000 the system restricts you to invest £5,000 because options scale up in steps of £2,500. This means that the remainder can be invested only once a smaller part becomes available. On an earlier occasion one such smaller part just happened to be available.

Yeah they've always wanted investments in round numbers - because they used to have to handle it all manually. Maybe as the website develops it'll change, we'll just have to wait & see

I've been investing through this platform for over a year. Never lost a penny and very happy with the way the system is run.
If you are a current investor you would have noticed they are reducing rates to the investor dependent on the risk factor.
The only thing I would like is more transparency from BG as to what rate they are charging the borrower.

Is it time to suggest to the moderators that this thread was promoted .... to what? .... having it's own name ?

I suggest they get someone to proof read their website. It is littered with spelling and grammatical errors which doesn't leave a good impression.

Not sure what you're referring to but not all of them are actually errors, just not necessarily commonly used spellings. I particularly dislike "earnt" to the extent that I was sorely tempted to send them an email to complain about it but when I googled it (wondering if maybe an American English thing) the consensus appeared to be it's "not in common usage." So a bit quaint and old fashioned maybe (my guess would be that it's coming from Louis' legal background) but not necessarily incorrect....so I didn't bother with an email that time.

My favourite is "widthdrawal" here: thebridgecrowd.com/how-it-works. After a quick read, I spotted at least half a dozen others.

I must admit as an existing investor I've not really looked at most of the public part of the new site...if I'd been a newbie that would definitely have raised an eyebrow.

Spelling and grammatical errors put me off immediately. It's sloppy and unprofessional so I won't even bother to look at Bridging Crowd.
