Are there any platforms open to international investors in Asia, for instance Singapore, Hong kong or elsewhere, that offer 10%+ net with a provision fund of some sort?
Would be great to find something like Mintos or Twino in other countries to diversify a bit, too much exposure to EUR/GBP.

Steer well clear of [*edit: mainland] China. Plenty of reasons.
Hongkong p2p market is, in my experience, rubbish. Young and low quality 'platforms' that will struggle to convince anyone other than whole-loan takers. But it is growing, although I doubt it will ever be worth the risk given the incompetence of local authorities when it comes to new ideas.
Also HKD is pegged so wont help currency exposure.
It's juat too easy to defraud in these (above) jurisdictions. Look at bitcoin for some examples.

HKD is pegged to USD and ofcourse the peg can be adjusted if ever there was a big issue, so I'd still like a reputable platform there. What about other countries in the region?

take a look at crowdo (indonesia) p2p.crowdo.com , you can invest in IDR and send money with transferwise. there is no buyback on the Plattform. loans are secured loans (jewellery) and sometimes they offer invoice discounting.

So what's the experience with crowdo? What's the interest rate for a loan secured with gold?

Thanks, I have registered. Awaiting approval. Thinking of the loans backed by gold and the odd invoice. Minimum investment is 68 euros? BR P

m203Yes, they changed that for the worse, as It used to be half of that. By the, your deposit must be at least 2mio IDR and doublecheck the beneficiary (entity name, not crowdo). Regards G.

m203Not to date. Will check them out, as soon as I am allowed to. Just a side note: I have seen many platforms going abroad. It seems that they had a good scoring model or whatever which worked fine in their homemarket. In the new market they failed, as they were not aware about local circumstances or just wanted to blow up their portfolio as quick as possible. Therefore they welcomed everybody. This is just my first thought, might turn out to be wrong. Are you happy with your IDR investments? I am. Regards

Do you know if they allow payment out to third party accounts? The bank transfer cost seems egregious. If there was a way to get money out as IDR without a local bank account, I could just keep the travel budget for my next Bali trip in a Crowdo account. That'd be perfect. Forking over 40 euros for transfers plus currency conversion costs, not so much.

southseacompany some months ago they did not allow withdrawals to third parties, I guess this has not changed. Deposits from 3rd parties are ok. Open a local bank account is not that easy or even possible from abroad, isn't it?

Thanks, well in that case it seems to be no option for you. I have decided when I begann with crowdo that I will keep my initial deposit there for at least 5 years and then see what to do. By then the charges are easily absorbed by the interest received (hopefully) and I can leave with ok profit.
