“P2P lending is an incredibly simple concept and a very old one at that,” he said.
“Over the centuries people with money have worked with people that can lend that money to others, in order to produce a return.
“We’ve stuck to that simple model and we want that simplicity to come through every time you engage with Assetz Capital and this informed our thinking on the new website and branding.
“In the coming months we’ll hit £1bn lent to UK businesses, with £100m of gross interest earned by our lenders and 1 in every 100 new homes funded by you and us last year, helping address the housing crisis.
“As our growth continues we’ll always strive to provide you, our investors, with investment options that deliver a fair return on your money.
“Thank you for all your support to-date. The future is looking very bright.”
