I got my 100% telegram yesterday (for the second time) so I've eked in another 500 bringing me to 2K (1k +500 + 500) since Nov 9.
BREAKING NEWS and 3 hours later that was all invested and I hit 100% again! What's going on BM?

99.8% here suddenly, too... (8.4% return) Hmmm, must be favouritism - although I got one new chunk at 6.5% today, i'm still just barely at 90%. Maybe I should withdraw a good few thousand to get below the magic 10,000 quid mark ....

The algorithm is written to help people with less than £10k to get allocated quicker. Suggestion : It might be better if the 10k threshold was increased to the current ISA limit. We've updated the algorithm to (positively) impact up to £25k. It should also allocate loans more frequently, but in smaller batches. We've responded to the feedback that clients would rather see activity on a more regular basis than in larger batches. Regardless, we are very pleased to announce couple of new loan providers that will be coming on stream shortly (neither are available though the P2P market and both have very impressive long term track records). Expect to see another bump in activity starting in the next ~1-2 weeks. It looks like January will be another record month for new client sign ups for us. Thank you again for your perseverance as we continue to work hard to try to match demand with supply. Lots going on at BM towers, so please excuse quietness on forum over the last day or so.

...to compensate for losing a layer of DD which would be there if it was going through SS ... for example? <wipes tear of laughter away>

Speed of lending has improved. I've fed money in 3 times recently and it's been invested pretty much straight away.

Very good now - 98%+ funds deployed for the last week - giving approximate net return figure before defaults of about 8.2%, a figure I have not been achieving for several months. Keep it going BM (Grumpiness on hold)

I'd forgotten all about them (isn't that the way it's meant to be) and both are over 99%. Keep it up.

Wonder if I need to reduce my holding to below the 25k or so in order to get over 90% invested. Not been there since well b4 Christmas. Becoming miffed!

Thinking of changing my user name to GrumpyOldLady (if it's not copyrighted) for this platform. My initial transfer being invested at glacial speed.

Pretty glacial here too. I think there was another 2% allocation to day taking me to 83% but then I did dump another 28% onto the platform about two weeks ago so serves me right I guess. I say "think" because the bug that causes all the dates on the allocations show as "01 undefined" is in place today. I get it about 30% of the time. Does anyone else get the weird dates? We are close to releasing a number of upgrades to the client dashboard. We're in the stages of final testing and bug fixing. These only impact the information that is displayed - not your underlying holdings - so please don't be too concerned if you do see any strange representations. That being said - please do contact us immediately if you do spot anything, and we will investigate immediately: invest@bondmason.com (this also helps makes the service better for everyone) (The 01undefined date bug is known to us - thank you nonetheless paul123)

I see A LOT of people complaining about time to be fully invested and MANY of whom make multiple deposits along the way. Have they realised with the Bondmason system this hugely slows down their time to full investment .... so perhaps they should complain about themselves !!??!! If you want to INVEST 10k and do this up front with 2% loan chunks, then 50 chunks of £200 later you're done. However deposit 1k, set to 2% and wait until 50% invested to add a further 1k - by this point you have 25 chunks of £25 Now with 2k, you wait until 1.5k invested to add another 1k - adding a further 50 chunks of £40 Now with 3k, you wait until 2.5k invested to add another 1k - adding a further 50 chunks of £60 etc. etc. etc All the while some loans are paying off and you are forever chasing your tail ...... invest wisely and don't drip feed here !!!
