Marc Shoffman Industry News, News, Top 3 Funding Circle, Lisa Jacobs

FUNDING Circle’s new UK managing director Lisa Jacobs has underlined the peer-to-peer lender’s continued commitment to retail investors and heralded the introduction of stricter regulatory standards.

In an exclusive interview with Peer2Peer Finance News, Jacobs (pictured) highlighted the importance of a diversity of funding sources in order to create a sustainable, long-term business.

“On a loan-by-loan basis, we are not prioritising institutional over retail,” she said.

“The loans our retail investors get are the same loans that institutional investors get. That’s a real positive for our retail investors – they are investing on the same terms as the institutions are, and getting the same product and the same returns. That’s quite rare.”
