Mintos Review

Description

Mintos is among the biggest p2p marketplaces worldwide. Founded in 2014, the platform has seen massive growth for all sorts of private loans. Investors can enjoy high interest rate, with comfortable auto-invest and cash-out features. However, mintos has been criticized for not handling pending payments transparently. Also bear in mind that quite some loan originators have been suspended on the marketplace threatening funds to be lost. Still, it is a massive marketplace and mintos should not be discarded entirely in our opinion.

Features

Auto-Invest	Available as: Custom automated strategies, Mintos Strategies
Mintos provides three fully automatized investment strategies: Diversified (rating: A+ to C-, average interest rate: 12.25%), Conservative (rating: A+ to B+, average interest rate: 9.84%), High-yield (rating: A+ to C-, average interest rate: 12.60%). If you want to customize further your investment, mintos has the "custom automated strategies" feature for that. By November 2020, mintos has replaced the old "risk ratings" with a "risk score". However, mintos has not yet updated the auto-invest strategies documentation disclosing how the new risk model does apply to the mintos strategies feature.
Manual-Invest	Available as: Custom manual investments
Secondary Market	Available
Instant Cash-Out	Available as: Mintos strategies
With "Mintos strategies" you can relatively fast cash out your money. Mintos writes: "When you want to cash out money, your Mintos strategy automatically sells loans in your strategy to other investors using the same strategy. Selling usually happens within a few minutes, depending on demand from other investors at that time. You can only sell current loans. If a loan in your strategy is late, you can get your money when it recovers or buyback kicks in. You can also manually sell late loans on the Secondary Market from the Portfolio page."
