Risk

Money needs to work - this is our proposition. We are helping companies by providing short term loans sourced from the crowd through our platform. We don’t want to go as far as claiming to have developed a new asset class, but our investment process inherently offers a higher rate of return with lower volatility versus comparable investments and although our investments are highly securitized through our diversification and insurance process, every investment always carries a degree of risk so the valid question for our investors is: what happens to my money if a company pays back its loan too late or not at all. To address this, we have taken several precautions.

Security first

Companies wanting to use our services undergo a rigorous risk assessment. At the outset we have implemented some “hard” criteria acting as a gatekeeper preventing non-serious companies from misusing our services. These include factors such as meeting some minimum statutory requirements, having been operating for a minimum of years and working with a stable and reliable customer base. In addition, we check dozens of financial data points from various sources as well as the repayment discipline observed with us so far, all ending up in a Finyoz internal risk scoring matrix.

Once the underlying invoices have been submitted by the companies and confirmed by the debtors, they get insured with a mandatory trade credit insurance. Then, our matching algorithm spreads your investment amongst several companies within your selected time horizon ensuring we diversify the risk of your investment between many participants. Should a specific company not meet their repayment obligations, there are still many other companies that have.

Companies are never paid out the full financing amount at once and we always keep a security deposit on your account until the debtor has paid the full amount of the invoice back. Only once the debtors' funds have been received in our system and can be allocated back to you, we release the security deposit as a second tranche of payment to the company.

Should funds not be received back to our system from specific companies, the insurance coverage as well as the security deposit will be paid out to you in essence protecting your initial investment.
