Secure investments
The P2P platform Robo.cash is a part of the international financial holding Robocash Group, which originated in 2013. Apart from the platform, the group comprises lending companies in 7 countries of Europe and Asia. One distinctive feature of the platform is the “peer-to-portfolio model” it is based on, which gives an opportunity to invest in the single portfolio of Robocash Group. Thus, all integrated loan originators on Robo.cash are affiliated lending companies of the group. Such operation principle ensures 100% buyback guarantee for all loans and increases the security of invested funds. If the loan repayment is delayed for more than 30 days, the loan is bought back on the 31st day of overdue, and the earned interest is paid out to investors for both the loan term and the buyback period.
Automated investment process
Investing on Robo.cash is easy – as the process is fully automated, investors only need to sign up, create a portfolio and choose preferable settings in the personal account. Other procedures, such as selection of loans, transfer, reinvestment and withdrawal of funds are performed by the artificial intelligence embedded into the platform. This makes the investment process simple, eliminates the need for investors to monitor the portfolio and saves their time. Robo.cash offers investors several options: it is possible to reinvest the full amount or principal amount only, automatically withdraw the funds or keep them on the balance. There is also a possibility to invest in a loan partially, minimizing the risks.
The minimum investment on Robo.cash is as little as 10 EUR, which is comfortable for new investors, as this is enough to test the platform before investing bigger amounts. It is important to note that Robo.cash does not charge any fees or taxes from investors. Funds are deposited to the platform in EUR from personal bank accounts of investors.
Further development
Since the launch, Robo.cash has shown significant growth. For the entire period of operation, the platform has attracted 8 million EUR of investments and financed over 1 million loans in the amount of 90 million EUR. Overall, there are more than 6,800 registered users on Robo.cash. As mentioned earlier, the P2P platform is operating within the international holding Robocash Group, and its further development largely depends on the plans of the group. Having lending companies in Russia, Kazakhstan, Spain, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and India, the group is now aimed at developing existing markets and increasing the share of Asian lending companies in its portfolio. This will allow to increase the volume of available loans and diversification on Robo.cash in the future, bringing new opportunities for investors.
