How it works.
Scramble is a SME 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.
Opening an account.
- 01 Create an account on the platform with your email and a strong, unique password (use a manager).
- 02 Complete KYC — upload a government-issued ID document and proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, dated within 3 months).
- 03 Confirm tax residency and provide a tax-ID number for the country where you’ll declare returns.
- 04 Fund the investor account via credit card, bank transfer (minimum €10). First deposits sometimes take 1 business day to credit.
- 05 Review the loan book — read the project memo, originator history, collateral pack and default-rate disclosures before committing capital.
- 06 Build a portfolio of 20–30 positions to diversify; configure auto-invest rules if you prefer a hands-off approach.
- 07 Track monthly statements, reinvest scheduled returns, and withdraw available cash to your bank account whenever needed.
Fees & charges.
- Account opening: free — there is no signup, KYC or annual maintenance fee for investors.
- Minimum deposit: €10 per transaction. There is no upper limit for retail accounts; institutional and family-office tickets are negotiated separately.
- Deposit fees: SEPA and local bank transfers are free. Cross-border SWIFT may incur correspondent-bank charges set by your bank, not the platform.
- Investment fees: typically zero on the investor side — the platform earns from origination / servicing fees paid by the borrower or sponsor, and that economic burden is already reflected in the headline yield.
- Servicing fees: some platforms levy a small annual servicing fee (often 0.5–1 %) on outstanding principal; check the latest fee schedule on the platform’s legal page before allocating size.
- Withdrawal fees: free for in-region SEPA or local bank transfers; non-EUR / non-local withdrawals may incur a small fixed bank fee.
- Secondary-market fees: when a secondary market exists, sellers typically pay a 0.5–1 % transaction fee on the realised price; check before listing.
- Tax: interest and capital gains are taxable in your country of residence. Most European platforms do not withhold automatically — investors report income in their annual return and may apply double-tax-treaty relief where available.
Deposits & withdrawals.
- Deposit methods: SEPA bank transfer, card payment. Crypto is not supported.
- Minimum deposit: €10 per transaction. No upper limit for retail accounts.
- Deposit processing: SEPA usually credits within 1 business day; instant SEPA arrives in minutes where supported.
- Withdrawal method: SEPA transfer to the bank account on file. No third-party withdrawals.
- Withdrawal processing: Available cash typically arrives within 1–3 business days; funds locked in active loans only return as borrowers repay.
- Early exit: No secondary market — plan on holding loans to maturity.
Historical yields.
The platform advertises target gross yields in the 12–14% 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.

Who it suits.
Suited to risk-tolerant investors with a 5–10 year horizon who can afford the possibility of total capital loss on individual deals. Diversification across at least 15–20 positions is essential; minimum ticket from €10. Not appropriate for emergency-fund capital or income-replacement strategies.
Risk disclaimer.
Capital at risk. Investments on Scramble 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.
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.

Frequently asked.
Is Scramble regulated?
Scramble 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.
What is the minimum investment on Scramble?
The minimum ticket per deal is €10. There is no upper limit for retail accounts; institutional tickets are arranged separately with the platform.
What returns can I expect from Scramble?
Advertised gross yields are 16% p.a.. 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.
How long does it take to withdraw funds from Scramble?
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.
What happens if a borrower defaults?
In an underwriting failure, the platform pursues the contractual recovery path — collateral realisation, debt-collection enforcement or court proceedings, with workouts typically taking 12–24 months. Recovery is rarely 100 %, and investors should size positions accordingly.
What happens if Scramble itself goes bankrupt?
Investor cash held on the platform is segregated from Scramble’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.
Do I pay tax on the income?
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.
What is the typical deal duration on Scramble?
Typical project duration is 6 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.
How many deals should I hold to be diversified?
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.
