General Frequently Asked Questions
For example: The
interest rate indicated next to each CrowdingLab crowdfunding project is an
annual rate. Thus, if during a period of 12 months the estimated rate of return
on the loan is 12 percent, this means that the monthly interest rate is 1
percent (12 / 12 = 1). For example, if you invest EUR
1,000 in a project with a 12 percent annual rate of return, then each month’s
interest will comprise EUR 10 (EUR 1000 x (12/12/100) = 10).
When the borrower makes a
payment, the funds will be distributed among all investors in proportion to the
amount invested. If the amount received is
insufficient to cover the full payment, the share of investments and interest
will be allocated to the investors proportionally to the amount of investment.
For example, if your investment comprises 3 percent of the total project
amount, you will receive 3 percent of the interest amount transferred by the
borrower. In this case, upon receipt of funds from the borrower who delayed
payments, first, the default charges due to the investors will be deducted,
then the interest.
The principal amount invested
will be repaid at the end of the project, unless indicated otherwise.
Unless otherwise indicated in
the loan repayment schedule provided next to the project, your interest will be
paid monthly.
