Crowdestate

Crowdestate runs a direct marketplace lending platform, which means it operates the "traditional" or "pure" P2P lending model and serves as an online space where borrowers can apply for loans and investors can fund projects. Crowdestate is operated by Crowdestate AS, headquatered in Estonia. It holds a payment license from Estonia's Financial Supervisory Authority (FI).

Crowdestate enables you to provide funding to real estate developers by investing in real estate loans. You can also apply for funding if you are a real estate developer.

At Crowdestate, you can make EUR-denominated investments starting from €100. You can also set up an auto-invest feature and buy and sell loans on a secondary market.

Crowdestate separates investors’ funds from the platform company assets but doesn’t have a wind-down plan in place to ensure minimal damage in case the platform goes out of business. It discloses statistics about its funded loans on a dedicated public page and shares its monthly funding volumes with P2PMarketData.
