April 2021 | Record number of new clients joined PeerBerry

In April, PeerBerry maintained very similar – a slightly higher – volumes of new loans funded on the platform as in March. Last month, PeerBerry business partners used more of their own funds for the issuing of new loans. This resulted in a lower need to borrow through the platform and a slight decrease in interest rates on loans.

April was a special month in terms of a significant increase in the number of new investors on the PeerBerry platform. 2,470 new clients joined PeerBerry in April. This is a record growth in new clients on the platform. To date, the average growth in new clients per month has been about 1 300 new investors per month.
