$Robocash improve interest payments for long-term loans.

UK's P2P platform $Zopa has announced the closure of their retail investing business.

Zopa Bank will be buying the P2P loan portfolio and investors will receive their investment balances back by the end of January.
As reasons for the closure Zopa mentions that customer trust in P2P investing has been damaged by some other businesses whose approach led to losses for investors. They add that the changing regulation has increased the operational costs of running the business and attracting new investors. ''To offset these increased costs and ensure we have a sustainable and profitable business, we’d need to reduce investor returns to a point where they’d no longer be attractive and commensurate with the risk that investors take on.''


Creditstar has published the 2020 financial report, with a qualified opinion from KPMG.
The reason for the qualified opinion is that the company had revalued upwards the value of intangible assets in both 2019 and 2020, which is not permitted under the Estonian accounting standards.

Key figures:
Profit = € 5.5m
Assets = € 160.0m
Equity = € 30.6m
Debt = € 129.3m
