ViaInvest to launch new investment products in 2024
ViaInvest plans to launch new investment products next year as it prepares for accelerated growth.
The European peer-to-peer lending marketplace said that it is ending 2023 with its largest investment portfolio to date, and its largest ever community of investors.
In a note to investors, Eduards Lapkovskis, chairman of the ViaInvest board, said that the platform has securitised and funded more than €105m (£90.7m) of consumer loans to date, and has paid out €2.4m in interest for investments in securities. By the end of 2023, the platform’s total portfolio was close to €30m.
“As we are about to enter 2024, we are stronger than ever, with our largest investment portfolio to date and, more importantly, our largest ever community of investors who have chosen us as their trusted investment partner,” said Lapkovskis.

“As the industry evolves and matures, we at ViaInvest are committed to remaining among leaders in adapting to these changes.
“In the coming year, we will focus on improving the investing experience on our platform and introducing new investment products. We will communicate more about the updates later next year.”
Lapkovskis added an update for investors in loan product investments – known as cessions – which were made before 2 August 2022.
“This year, we were able to facilitate the full repayment of cession investments in the Czech Republic, Romania, Poland, and Sweden,” he said.

“While only 15 per cent of what was originally invested in Latvia remains, it still suggests that it will not be fully repaid by the end of this year.
“We anticipate that the remaining amount will be repaid gradually over the next four to six months, with faster repayment possible, however, to stay transparent with our investors, this term should be considered the most likely scenario.”
