More than one way to help

Donate

Give money with no repayment expected.

The borrower keeps it. There is nothing to pay back.

Lend interest-free

Get back exactly what you lent.

Repaid in monthly instalments over the campaign’s term.

Lend with a return

Receive repayments plus an available return.

You can take the standard return or set your own lower rate.

Lending is not the same as donating. Your capital is at risk and you may get back less than you lend. Lendfolk checks borrowers before lending is enabled on their page, but checks reduce risk rather than remove it.

Give it. Lend it. Or somewhere in between.

Helping someone financially doesn’t have to mean giving money away.

You might choose to donate £20. You might lend £100 and simply get your £100 back. Or you might lend at the available return.

Lendfolk lets you decide privately how you want to help.
