SAVY

SAVY 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. SAVY is operated by UAB Bendras finansavimas, headquatered in Lithuania. It's been granted a crowdfunding license from the Bank of Lithuania.

SAVY allows you to provide funding to individuals, and business owners by investing in personal loans, and business loans. You can also apply for funding if you are an individual seeking financing, or a business owner.

At SAVY, you can make EUR-denominated investments starting from €10. You can also set up an auto-invest feature and buy and sell loans on a secondary market.

SAVY separates investors’ funds from the platform company assets and has 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.
