Income Marketplace is a peer-to-peer lending platform founded in 2021 and headquartered in Estonia, connecting investors with car loans, consumer loans and litigation-finance claims sourced from a network of non-bank loan originators.
What is Income Marketplace?
Like other consumer-loan marketplaces, Income Marketplace doesn't lend directly — it lists claims on loans originated by third-party lenders and lets investors fund portions of them, earning interest as the underlying loans are repaid.
Key features
- Buyback guarantee: loans that fall significantly behind schedule are generally repurchased by the originator, protecting invested principal.
- Broader loan mix: alongside standard consumer loans, Income Marketplace also lists car loans and litigation-finance claims, a less common category on P2P platforms.
Risk considerations
Income Marketplace is not currently regulated as an investment firm, does not yet offer a secondary market or auto-invest, and does not participate in an investor compensation scheme — all fairly typical for a newer platform in this category, but worth factoring into how much of your portfolio you allocate here relative to more established platforms.
Who is Income Marketplace for?
Income Marketplace can suit investors who want exposure to a slightly wider mix of consumer-credit categories, including litigation finance, and who are comfortable with a newer, less established platform as part of a diversified P2P strategy.
