12% Club – Invest & earn upto 12% from your savings

When is the return earned on an investment in 12% Club and how do I get a return up to 12% on my investment?

The return is earned daily on your investment based on deployment with registered borrowers through the P2P NBFC Partner. You can earn up to 12% return on your invested amount. The return is in form of interest paid by the borrowers to whom the money is lent through P2P NBFC Partners.

For example – if you invest ₹ 1,00,000 with 12% Club. You will earn up to 12% return per year – ₹ 12,000 and ₹ 33 per day. Return will be earned from the next day (based on disbursement to a borrower).

How much money can I lend?

Exposure of a single lender to the same borrower, across all P2Ps, shall not exceed Rs 50,000. Aggregate exposure of a lender to all borrowers at any point of time, across all P2Ps, shall be subject to a cap of ₹ 10,00,000. However, you can lend up to ₹ 50,00,000 on submitting a certified net worth certificate of ₹ 50,00,000.

What is the risk and how to mitigate it?

Our P2P NBFC Partner tries to minimize risks by undertaking stringent verification and credit underwriting process. These investments which are in the form of lending through our P2P NBFC Partner are subject to risk on account of the borrower defaulting on the payment. In case of any default, we do regular follow-up and soft recovery with the borrower.

Can a lender take a loan and lend at the same time?

No, you can either take a loan or lend at any given point in time.

What happens if any borrower fails to repay? Who bears the risk?

Please note that we along with our P2P NBFC partner try to minimize risks by undertaking stringent verification and credit underwriting process. Further, peer-to-peer lending is unsecured and even after a rigorous process, we do not guarantee risk-free returns or no defaults. However, we have a soft recovery and collection process in place to ensure minimal defaults.

When an individual borrower defaults, it can impact the pool of investors against whom the loan was made. For example, if your ₹ 3,000 (three thousand) is spread across 100 loans and the borrower defaults, the potential loss is ₹ 30. Multiple lenders invest in multiple borrowers.

Essentially – for an ₹ 3,000 (three thousand) loan, there are multiple lenders who have invested in that ₹. 3000 loan and if that loan defaults, all the investors who have invested in that loan lose the built-in buffer.

How is investing through the 12% club different from directly investing through your NBFC P2P Partner?

We act as a sourcing agent and tech support for P2P NBFC Partners to provide our customers with a unique experience on our 12% Club. Please note that our P2P NBFC Partners may have affiliations with third parties who independently offer different programmes and offers on their platform.

How do re-investments work? Are the daily earnings reinvested or just the actual investment earns interest?

Daily-earnings on your investment do not get re-invested back. They are available for you to withdraw with or without principal in the usual fashion.

Can you withdraw your invested amount before the loan matures? Can the invested amount be withdrawn partially?

Yes, you can withdraw the amount in partial or full before maturity. The amount you select will be credited in your bank account according to the terms and conditions of the 12% Club. Please note that as per RBI P2P regulations, the maximum tenure cannot exceed 36 months.

What are the parameters for dealing with a withdrawal when there are various lenders wanting to withdraw the invested money at the same time that has already been disbursed?

Our P2P NBFC Partners have a secondary market and there is no guarantee of liquidation by the 12% Club. If there is a run on the platform the worst that can happen is the money will come in a staggered way depending on the underlying tenure of the loan (which is the average tenure of 6 months). A run on the platform does not mean the underlying loans are bad, it just means the lender has to wait longer to get their money back.

How long does it take for the withdrawal amount to be settled in my bank account?

Withdrawal requests are generally processed within 1 business day from the date of request of withdrawal. However, in rare cases, there might be a delay at any of the intermediary bank’s end. If you are facing any issues beyond the aforementioned time, please feel free to chat with us or contact our customer support team.

Where will money is withdrawn from the 12% Club get credited?

Withdrawn money will be credited to your registered bank account.
