Peer-To-Peer Lending For The Non-Digital World

I was an early adopter of peer-to-peer lending in 2008 and now have a six figure sum invested, which returns me over five percent before tax.

Reading the letters about poor broad band and mobile phone coverage in today’s Sunday Times, it strikes me that many people are cut off from this sensible investment.

I could if I wanted to, set up my Zopa account, so that I perhaps looked at it once every blue moon.

Would it be an idea if one of the peer-to-peer lenders offered a minimal input product for those disconnected from the digital world?

Money would be paid in by a direct transfer or even a cheque paid in at a bank branch, if you still use one.

If you needed to check your account or perhaps withdraw a small amount of the interest and repayments that you have received as cash, you would just use a debit card in any ATM.

Obviously, you will still have the option to login normally, if you wanted.
