moolr is a London-based peer-to-peer lending platform offering unsecured personal loans funded by retail and institutional lenders.
moolr
moolr was established as a peer-to-peer lending platform in the United Kingdom, operating under Financial Conduct Authority regulation. The firm runs a direct-lending marketplace where individual and institutional investors fund personal loan originations, earning returns from borrower repayments net of defaults and a platform fee. The platform concentrates on prime and near-prime unsecured consumer lending, screening applicants through credit-reference-agency data and internal underwriting models. Loans listed on moolr are typically amortizing, with fixed rates set according to risk grade. Lenders select loans manually or via auto-invest tools that diversify exposure across multiple borrowers. The United Kingdom is the sole geography for both originations and lending capital. moolr has operated during a period of significant regulatory evolution for the UK P2P sector, including the FCA's introduction of appropriateness tests, wind-down-plan requirements, and lending-cap rules for retail investors. The firm has maintained its authorization throughout these changes, continuing to serve both retail and institutional participants. The platform's default rates and provision fund performance are disclosed in public loan books and annual reports required by the regulator. The firm's structural posture differs from neobanks and deposit-takers: moolr does not hold a banking license or take deposits. It earns revenue from arrangement fees charged to borrowers and ongoing servicing fees deducted from lender returns, without assuming credit risk on its own balance sheet. This market-maker model aligns with the original UK P2P architecture that the FCA formalized under Article 36H of the Regulated Activities Order.

Frequently asked questions
How does moolr source and underwrite its loans?
moolr originates unsecured personal loans directly through its website, screening applicants against credit-reference-agency data and proprietary underwriting criteria. Approved loans are then listed on the platform where lenders can commit funds. The firm discloses historical default rates by risk grade, allowing investors to assess the credit performance of their chosen segments.
Is moolr regulated, and what protections do lenders have?
Yes, moolr is authorized and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. As required for all P2P platforms operating in the UK, the firm must maintain a wind-down plan, apply suitability tests for retail investors, and cap lending exposure for inexperienced retail participants. The platform may also operate a provision fund to absorb first losses, though the specific structure should be verified in the firm's current offer documents.
Can institutional investors participate on moolr?
Yes. The platform serves both retail and institutional lenders. Institutional participation may include direct loan purchasing, whole-loan transactions, or bespoke funding lines that match institutional capital with specific loan cohorts. Terms are typically negotiated directly with the platform.
