Inside the TopLending catalogue

These counts are calculated from currently active catalogue records. They describe our coverage, not market shares. Missing data is excluded from the median, never treated as zero.

Advertised rates can represent different products and calculation conventions. The median is a catalogue summary, not a forecast. Registered accounts are not unique investors; we do not add them into a European investor total.
