Esketit platform is an investment platform, allowing private and institutional investors to invest in issued loans. The loans available for investment on the Platform are issued to private individuals all over the world.

The microfinancial companies issuing the loans are called Loan Originators and are using the funds raised on the Platform as working capital in order to expand their lending volumes.

Loan Originators (lenders) provide alternative financing to individuals and businesses and make the issued loans available for investors on the Esketit platform. The Esketit platform is an intermediary connecting investor, borrower, and Loan Originator via a custom investment platform and providing additional intermediary services. The Investor has a possibility based on the Assignment Agreement to purchase a claim right arising from the Loan Agreement and receive an interest following the terms and conditions of the Assignment Agreement.

To ensure that the interests of the lending company are aligned with the interests of the investor – both sides have a stake in the investment.

If investor invests using Esketit Automated strategies, they offer automatic cash out functionality which works under normal market conditions and sells your loan to other investors using the same strategy. It is also possible to place your investment for sale on the Secondary Market. If another investor agrees to buy your listing for your set price with discount or premium, or at par, you exit your investment before the maturity date. Loans could also be finished by the borrower or loan originator faster than its maturity date. Esketit platform could also consider rebuying those loans from you with a 1% discount in case you have such an urgent need. Please contact us at [email protected] to arrange this.

On Esketit, you will find loans from CreamFinance Group and a founder-owned loan originator in Jordan. Owners of Esketit own shares in all of those companies. We place only loans where we are confident that the business model works well and could bring good value to our investors.

The loan deal is available for investment for as long as it has not reached its maturity date, or has not been fully funded by other investors.

The interest rate is specified in the Assignment Agreement, and the interest is calculated according to it. The interest is payable from the day you have invested, considering the elapsed time of the deal and until the loan deal reaches its maturity date. The formula for calculating interest = days of investing / 365 * interest rate * invested amount.

Suppose the interest payments or principal repayment are delayed for more than 60 calendar days. In that case, the Loan Originator is obliged to redeem your investment as well as to pay all accrued interest in accordance with the interest rate under the Assignment Agreement. Whether the BuyBack Obligation is applicable to a corresponding loan offer is specified in the description of the loan offer.

Yes, a loan could be extended up to 5 times and each extension could be no more than 31 days.

Any investment is a risk, the interest rate paid to the investors is the compensation for the risk they are taking. Please consider carefully how much risk you can tolerate before making an investment.

If you have invested in a loan on the primary market and wish to retrieve your funds before the maturity date, you have an option to sell your claim right against the borrower in the Secondary Market. Selling your claim on the Secondary Market is completely free of charge.

You will receive the interest on the loan deal until someone buys it. You're still earning while the loan is listed for sale and not bought from you.

The Investor may choose to put a loan deal for sale on SM with a discount in order to sell the investment faster. For example, if the outstanding principal is Eur 100, but the selling price is Eur 90, then the discount is 10%. On the contrary, a premium means the price is higher than the outstanding principal. Every Investor decides for themselves what conditions they are willing to apply to deals on SM.

Yes, you can sell the loan deal again on SM as many times as you are willing.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security procedure requiring two distinct identification forms to access information online.

Two-factor authentication is used to strengthen the security of your assets available in your Esketit account in an unlikely case of a security breach or data leak. 2FA does this by requiring two types of information from the user—a password and a code sent to the user’s smartphone via authentication service, in our case, Google Authenticator—before your assets can be accessed. Even if your password gets stolen, the attackers can not access your assets without your physical mobile device.

First, you need to install the Googe Authenticator app on your smartphone. For Android, press here, and for iOS, you can get it here.

Once you have set up the authenticator app, visit your Esketit investor profile > Two-factor authentication to enable the new security feature.

After enabling it, open the window with instructions, generate a QR code, and follow the on-screen instructions.

To disable 2FA, visit the Security page, enter a new 6-digit code generated by the Google Authenticator app on your phone, enter it in the space that says “6-digit code”, and press “disable”.

NB! We strongly suggest keeping the 2FA enabled at all times so secure your assets.
