Some of the Euro platforms have Russian loans converted to Euros. With the collapse of the Rouble they may have difficulty repaying investors, so worth thinking about removing auto investments for Russian lenders.

The platforms with Russian loan exposure are Mintos, Twino, Peerberry, Iuvo (Kvuku loans only). I've avoided Russian loans on these platforms to a great extent but I am worried about platform exposure in two of these cases. Peerberry also has a large amount of Ukrainian loans. All four platforms have issued reassuring statements about their liquidity.

I only have loans on Peerberry. If I interpreted correctly, when they announced they were suspending Russian and Ukrainian loans they suggested the lenders had enough liquidity to pay back those loans already issued ie. would honour the buy-back guarantees. Am I mistaken?

I never understood why anybody would “invest” in loans from ex-USSR countries, as opposed to loans originated in EU/UK.
Same with loans from Africa as offered e.g. on Mintos.
The interest premium, if existent at all, is ridiculous compared to the additional risks, which are many. This is not investing, it's gambling.

I wouldn't be investing big money in any P2P loans, especially business loans, for the next few months, collateral damage could be just as bad as direct losses in Russian loans. We don't know yet who is exposed to Russia or Ukraine for that matter. We've seen the damage caused by Greensill. Plus you've got sanctions, asset freezes and export controls. Development loans in UK property might be the safe place at the moment.

The Explore P2P website is pessimistic about several platforms, and quantifies their exposure: "Russia/Ukraine – which P2P investments are most at risk?" explorep2p.com/russia-ukraine/ |
