Invest from 10 euros in vetted impact projects in emerging markets and earn interest as borrowers repay.
Lendahand Impact Investing - Research Notes
The offering runs on a European Crowdfunding Service Provider license supervised by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets, and projects are offered only with credit score B or higher, a policy the platform has applied since 2023. Lendahand reports 97.4 percent of payments on such investments made on time and in full.
A ten-euro minimum ticket and an auto-invest feature position the offering at the accessible end of European retail impact investing, while its project pipeline emphasizes women entrepreneurs, agriculture, and clean energy. The platform has been elected Crowdfunding Platform of the Year three times by IEX.
Lendahand Impact Investing is the retail investment offering of the Lendahand platform, where investors fund vetted projects from ten euros and earn between 5 and 9 percent annual interest. Each project page states its interest rate, maturity, repayment schedule, currency, and credit score, together with a Key Investment Information Sheet.
Projects span microfinance, agriculture, and sustainable energy across emerging markets, and an auto-invest mode allocates deposits across projects automatically. Repayments arrive on a fixed schedule as borrowers repay, and the platform reports more than 3,500 funded projects since 2013.
