Income Marketplace is a consumer crowdlending platform based in Estonia, supervised by EFSA (Estonia). Investors deposit funds, browse open opportunities and commit capital project-by-project or via automated rules.
Once a project is fully funded, the platform releases capital to the borrower and collects scheduled payments — interest plus principal — which are credited to your investor account. Most European platforms publish a public dashboard with projected and realised cashflows.
Loans on Income Marketplace carry a 60-day buyback, which steps in if the borrower stops paying. The strength of that protection depends on the financial health of the originator standing behind it — not the platform itself.
The platform advertises target gross yields in the 10–13% APR band. Realised net returns on a diversified portfolio typically run 1–3 percentage points below the headline range once defaults, cash drag and fees are taken into account.
Track record is best read against the Estonia macro context — local interest rates, property cycle and employment data move loan-default rates in real time. Investors should diversify across at least 20–30 loans before extrapolating any single year of returns.
Headline yields are quoted before the value of the 60-day buyback. In a normal market this protection has historically smoothed the realised return; in a stressed market its value depends on the originator’s capacity to honour the buyback.
Suited to investors wanting direct exposure to alternative-asset opportunities with a 12–36 months horizon, comfortable with default risk and limited liquidity. Minimum ticket from €10. Recommended portfolio size: 20–30 deals for adequate diversification; treat as a complement to traditional fixed-income, not a substitute.
Capital at risk. Investments on Income Marketplace are not bank deposits and are not covered by any deposit-guarantee scheme (FGD in Spain, FGDR in France, gli istituti di garanzia in Italy, etc.). You can lose part or all of your capital.
Default risk. Borrowers may stop paying. Even with collateral or buyback, recovery is slow and partial in stressed scenarios.
Buyback risk. The buyback guarantee is a contractual promise from the loan originator — not from the platform, and not from any government. Multiple originator failures since 2020 have shown the protection can fail in practice.
Liquidity risk. There is no secondary market — invested capital is locked until the loan or project reaches maturity.
Tax. Interest and capital gains are taxable in your country of residence. Most European platforms do not withhold automatically.
support@incomemarketplace.com — confirm on the platform’s contact page before sending sensitive information.Income Marketplace operates under supervision of EFSA (Estonia). Supervision covers conduct, disclosure, segregation of investor cash and minimum capital requirements. It does not guarantee that any individual deal will perform as advertised — investors retain full project-level risk on every position they hold.
The minimum ticket per deal is €10. There is no upper limit for retail accounts; institutional tickets are arranged separately with the platform.
Advertised gross yields are high single to low double digits per annum. Realised net returns depend on default rates, cash drag (money waiting between deals) and any servicing fees — expect actual portfolio returns 1–3 percentage points below the headline range after a full investment cycle.
Available cash typically arrives via SEPA or local bank transfer within 1–3 business days. Funds locked in active deals only return as borrowers repay; there is no secondary market, so plan on holding to maturity.
In an underwriting failure, the platform pursues the contractual recovery path — the buyback guarantee from the originator should refund principal plus accrued interest, with workouts typically taking 12–24 months. Recovery is rarely 100 %, and investors should size positions accordingly.
Investor cash held on the platform is segregated from Income Marketplace’s own balance sheet, as required by the rules of EFSA (Estonia). In an insolvency, cash should be returned to investors and outstanding loans transferred to a runoff administrator who continues to collect repayments on investors’ behalf. The process can take 12–24 months and recovery is rarely 100 %, but the loans you own remain your property, not the platform’s.
Yes — interest, dividends and realised capital gains are taxable in your country of residence. Most platforms do not withhold automatically; investors report the income in their annual tax return and may apply double-tax-treaty relief where available.
Typical project duration is 12–36 months. Longer durations generally pay higher headline yields but lock capital for longer and increase exposure to macro cycles; shorter durations offer faster reinvestment but reset rates more often.
A common rule of thumb is 20–30 positions to absorb single-deal default risk. Below 10 positions, one bad loan can wipe out a year of returns; above 30 the marginal benefit of further diversification flattens. Auto-invest rules make this easy to maintain over time.

All good, team and loans ok.
I have been with Income for nearly two years now and overall my experience has been very good. I'm getting a great level of return on my investment and the process of adding funds has been extremely easy and efficient. There are still some issues though, mainly with website response which can be very slow at times affecting the ability to invest. Hardware capacity is supposedly being addressed at which point I would award a 5 score
The most reliable Peer2Peer platform. But... there's no secondary market. And this is a problem, the moment you want the flexibility to move your money around. But if you're fine with having your money stuck in just one place, I couldn't recommend Income Marketplace enough.
I’ve been investing with Income for almost 5 years now, and my experience has been consistently excellent. The platform strikes a strong balance between attractive returns and a clear focus on investor protection. I’ve been getting an average return of around 12.15%, which I’m very satisfied with! :) Especially given the level of transparency and risk controls they have in place. Now, what really stood out to me was the opportunity to visit their team in beautiful Tallinn last year. Meeting them in person reinforced my confidence. They are serious, professional, and genuinely committed to safeguarding their investors. Overall, a platform I trust and plan to continue using. Sophia
All functions by substance as needed
Been investing primarily in ITF Group loans for the past 2+ years. It's been fairly OK thus far with regular payments. There are certain enhancements that are taking longer than desired (intro of secondary market, greater loan originator diversity, Auto Invest capabilities)
Investing more and more with Income since last year. One of my favorite platforms, as I use over 20 different ones for risk mitigation. Good yields, no cash drag.
Llevo varios meses invirtiendo en préstamos a través de la plataforma Income Marketplace y, de momento, mi experiencia es muy positiva.
Dos años invirtiendo , todo funciona correctamente, retiros llegan sin problemas y el interés es correcto, income sigue creciendo cada mas originadores que te permiten diverficar en mas paises una buena opción
I am unable to sign into the app having invested a few quid there I have sent several emails to no avail. Deleted and re-downloaded the app to no avail. At this point not sure what is happening or if my money is safe as heard nothing from anyone. Update. Hi there I sent a screenshot of what it says when I try to log in but no responses as of yet from you guys. I also made contact via your “contact us” tab on the website again with no response. The initial email I sent was a response to one of your marketing emails upon which someone responded and said to let them know what it says when I log in to which I sent the screenshot and as of yet haven’t received a response. I am still as of yet unable to log into the app. Update: Ok no problem I will try that thanks for your help. Kind regards.
Perfect! Very reliable
Einmal investierte Mittel können nicht vorzeitig am Sekundärmarkt verkauft werden. Alle Investitionen müssen bis zum Ende liegen bleiben!
