Swaper Review – A Personal Experience

Swaper Crowdlending Platform

Since I started investing in January 2022, everything has been running smoothly. I set up auto-invest, and it functions seamlessly.

I use it to maintain liquidity thanks to the short, one-month investment term. Even with frequent loan shortages, I’ve still earned a solid 13% interest.

Languages in the website: English and German.

My advise

I have allocated a significant portion of my investment to Swaper. It’s a convenient method for maintaining liquidity. Usually, there is money available for withdrawal, and you receive it within a few days. It is the most user-friendly crowdlending marketplace I have encountered. However, don’t allocate your entire investment here; it’s crucial to diversify, especially considering that Swaper does not have a license.
