Could we get the 'sort by status' back, that allowed separation of blue, green and red. It made it much easier to see and export to excel 'live' loans only. And spot any defaults (although I didn't have any when it was working). I'm sure I used this before, but it seems to have got lost somehow.
And is a proper download to excel in the pipeline? The formatting is terrible from cut and paste.

We are aiming to tabulate this page by status next week (all going well on the development side) and see if we can provide some narrative next to every defaulting loan. This loan list (and the summary dashboard) has our focus at the moment. Please send across any other suggestions - can't guarantee we will do them, but would love to have client input.

The "term" column has lost the months remaining in the last day or three. Is that a deliberate change "improvement", or something that's just gone walkies? Also - what's "Refinanicing"? (Loan ref 2540 - spelt right on 2597, I'm surprised it's not a picklist when loans are set up)

I like the simple balance, current return and portfolio boxes at the top of the screen.
Could you add a third 'meter' to the latter two which would be % invested?
Edit: Ah, I see you've already mentioned this - I didn't spot it when I scrolled back to previous comments ...

Typo - many of our importers take these terms directly from the underlying platforms, so these can carry forward some typos that we receive.

I'd have thought the months remaining would be the more useful figure, tbh, if you're only going to give one. If I've got a particularly juicy part that shows "12", it might only have one month left - that's probably more relevant to me than it having had 11 repayments already, because I know it's going to be completely repaid soon. (where "know" = "fervently hope"...) As for the typos - could that be used to give clues as to which platforms and loans you're sourcing from?

Bondmason would be better if - we got a weekly email with an account summary.

That reminds me of the building society ISAs years back which would pay (for instance) 4%, when exactly the same non-ISA account would pay 4.5% (3.6% net of tax).
The Building Society thus took more than half of the tax advantage.
BondMason seem to be offering 0.5% lower interest, with a £5000 minimum investment rather £1000.
edit: ... unless BM are just giving a lower target, and actual returns will be the same as the standard account. I wonder if this is a prelude to lowering the whole platform target for the forthcoming financial year.

Re: lower ISA target - this reflects two things (1) additional cost to administer the ISA (3rd party or our own) (2) a smaller choice in the eligible loans for an ISA. Sadly, we are still waiting on the FCA for the IF ISA, and in the mean time we are investigating a Plan B... Re: target for next year - this is still 7% net for the main service. paul123 - both of those pages were written c.12-18 months ago so could do with a revisit. Thank you for highlighting. |

This comes under "Is it just me...?" I have to log in to BM's site twice. The first time I put my user name and password in, I just get straight back to the un-logged-in opening page. No error message, as you'd get from the wrong details. The second time, I go straight to the account summary page as I would expect to. Exact same credentials. It happens to me on all three browsers on my everyday machine. (Mac w/ El Capitan, Firefox, Chrome, Safari. All have uBlock Origin installed, makes no difference if it's turned off for the bondmason.com domain via the button in the menu bar.) Also does it on both browsers on another machine (FF/Chrome on Ubuntu 16.04LTS, same story with uBlock Origin). Spot the commonality? Yes, the uBlock Origin adblocker. This doesn't happen to me on any other sites, P2P or other... If I turn uBlock Origin off completely (Chrome, Mac), it logs me in first time. So, clearly, the site is not playing nicely with one of the main adblockers out there. If it helps the troubleshooting, I'm redirected on the first "failure" to www.bondmason.com/#block-user-login |

uBlock Origin (v1.11.0) fine for me on Win10 / Chrome - no other combinations available to me right now That had me checking... Turns out Firefox/Mac had uBlock, not uBlock Origin on it. So that's just been swapped over... and it still does it. Latest versions of all - they're all auto-updated anyway. That behaves exactly the same.

What User Agent String is being sent - I could manually set my version of Chrome to that and see if that replicates the problem? Whatever the default is. I've not changed it.
