Afranga Review

Afranga is a young and rather small platform that gained strong popularity among investors. Famous for their initial 18% loans, the platform quickly attracted capital. One reason for this is that Afranga's founding company is the Bulgarian loan originator Stikcredit. Stikcredit was founded already in 2013 and is known to investors as a mintos and viventor loan originator. Since its inception, however, rates have been adapted to market developments. As of November 2021, you can earn relatively stable 12% of interest. However, high popularity led to high demand of primary market loans. In October the platform launched a secondary market at the right time to counter growing cash drag issues. All in all, we consider afranga a nice niche platform if you feel like entering the Bulgarian loan market. However, so far Stikcredit is the sole loan originator on Afranga such that there is no diversification possible.
