Investor stories

Real people. Real returns.
Real trust.

Very happy with my experience. I effectively have half a dozen separate investments. The interest rate is outstanding and the minimum investment is $1k. To get this rate of return with any other investment you usually have to invest at least 10 times as much. I wish a product like this was available years ago.

This platform is easy to navigate and shows clear and detailed description of the investments available. It appears that GoLend have experienced directors and staff. Looking forward to better returns than standard bank rates.

I'm a newbie to Go Lend platfom, waiting on my funds to show in my on-call wallet and ill be making my first investment, so easy to do and navigate the platform. With only a day of signing up to Go Lend I recieved a friendly call from Samantha and she walked me around the platform and answered my Questions, Thank you Sam. Looking forward to being a long term investor.

I'm getting better returns on my investments with Go Lend than returns from well-established fund managers. Excellent communication from Go Lend which is consistently timely, accurate, relevant and useful has made my experience pleasant and rewarding. I appreciated the help from real people at the beginning when I didn't understand how the processes worked and my several questions were answered simply and quickly. The great service gradually entrenched my confidence that my money is well looked-after and the future augurs well.

Great website. Clear, transparent, platform. easy to see where you are putting your money and love you can choose what security and loan you like. Have invested over the last six months here and one other peer to peer. Go lend has never missed interest or principal payment when the loans mature. Better rates than some other sites so far.

FAQs

Your questions answered

What is Go Lend?

Go Lend is an online marketplace where retail investors can invest in individual property-backed loans, and borrowers can apply for finance secured by property.

How does investing with Go Lend work?

You choose a loan from the marketplace and invest the amount you want. We manage the loan, and you earn interest over the loan term. Each listing shows key details like the property, interest rate, term, and LVR so you can make your own call.

Is my investment secured?

Investments are linked to loans secured by a registered first mortgage over property security that helps reduce risk, but it’s not a guarantee — property values can change and recoveries can take time and cost money. All investments can involve risk. You may wish to seek independent financial advice before making a decision to invest.

Are returns guaranteed?

No. Returns are not guaranteed. If a borrower defaults and recoveries are insufficient after costs, you can lose some (or potentially all) of your investment.

Where is my money held before I invest (Wallet)?

Money in your Wallet (your online call account) is held on bare trust by our trustee entity, GLG Trustees Limited, until you choose a loan to invest in. The details are set out in the platform documentation and relevant trust arrangements, available here.
