To help our investors community to make informed investing decisions, we monitor and score our Loan Originators. Loan Originators are scored in four categories: Transparency, Legal, Financial and Transactions. Lendermarket score illustrates the risk level related to each Loan Originator on a scale from 1 to 10, where 10 is a high risk, and 1 – is a lower risk.

Transparency is monitored by how much public information is available on the Loan Originator’s website or other public domains. This includes financial information, presentation of management/ownership, and screening for adverse media.
In the Legal category three aspects are monitored: assessment of its supervising body, anti-money laundering policies and reporting obligations, and compliance with the Rules of the Platform.
Financial monitoring includes tests related to the quality of underwriting policy (e.g., Loan Originator’s portfolio quality), meeting of financial covenants agreed with Lendermarket (e.g., interest coverage ratio), and audit of financial statements (e.g., points are awarded if a recognised auditor is used or if financial audit is voluntarily made etc).
For the Transaction category a sample is selected representing Loan Originator’s agreements with investors and checks are carried out related to underlying loan agreement, disbursements to and repayments from the underlying borrower.
Subscores help investors to evaluate different aspects related to the risk of loans available for investment. They are expressed numerically and are assigned to these 4 categories: Transparency, Legal, Financial and Transactions.
Subscores contribute to the Risk Score with the following weight: 10% Transparency, 15% Legal, 25% Financial, 15% Transactions, 35% Public Trust. A total of 100 points may be awarded to a Loan Originator, which translates to the Risk Score of 10. The lower the numerical value, the less risk has been detected by Lendermarket’s monitoring team as more tests were passed by the Loan Originator. Not all tests are equally the same for all Loan Originators (e.g., financial covenant levels may vary depending on the Loan Originator).
