Harmoney definitely using borrowers and lenders to make money, lenders who invest are losers ultimately for sure!!!

Plenty of investors on Harmoney are making a return of around 10-12% P.A. after fees, tax and defaults.

Gross interest received $467.69

Service / Lender fees -$93.54
Withholding tax -$154.34
Charged-off principal -$147.78

your RAR :17.13% p.a.

I was not making an assumption. I've been a lender on Harmoney since March 2016. In regards to your numbers - it does not appear as though you have made sufficient effort to understand Harmoney's RAR calculation which is clearly explained on their website.

It doesn't seem suspicious to anyone else that Harmoney make a bulk of their 'profit' when they approve a loan, as opposed to every other lender who makes it when the loan is repaid? Surely this is an incentive to approve all sorts of marginal loans, because they're getting paid the up front fee. And as it's not their money being lent, do they really care if it goes bad down the track?
