Mar 25,2018I've been investing with them for years no complaints, easy to use service and the moneys doing good.

Mar 24,2018Abundance are our favourite method of investing in green energy schemes. We have multiple investments, and it's very easy to keep track of all the repayments etc. They list all the capital repayments and interest payments very clearly. They do not charge for this service unlike some other platforms. They seem clued up about the tax side of things as well. They are the only green energy platform with an ISA, that I know about. The only real downside is that quite often there are no open projects.

Mar 24,2018Excellent range of types of financial investments, i.e. all sustainable environmentally friendly products, although they could do with a few more. No problem in accessing information on the web site. I am not keen on the way bidding for sales is done, which seems rather cut-throat. The reason I am now withdrawing funds from Abundance is that they are mostly very long term, and being past retirement age are not relevant. So I am putting more in other peer-to-peer lending schemes which will offer a return within my probably lifetime. Abundance should consider shorter term investments to attract the older investor - after all, most of us need extra funds to support our retirement pots.

Mar 24,2018I have been investing through Abundance almost since the beginning and now have a broad portfolio which has performed well. I have never sold any, or bought via the marketplace, so I can't comment on that, but in general my experience has been excellent. I've given it 4 rather than 5 stars because the description of 5 stars is 'I would recommend it to anyone' and the investments are, by their nature, far to risky for that!

Mar 24,2018Very transparent, easy to use and has managed to set up a secondary market which is a considerable achievement in this market.

Mar 24,2018Abundance offers clear data, easy investing, good access to statements and an ISA. The level of development of the different projects is clearly defined so you can pick the risk level you are ok with.

Mar 23,2018Abundance provides a route to investing a proportion of my funds into some innovative and "alternative" energy projects. The development and implementation of sustainable energy sources is important for us all and the hope is that a number of the projects available will prove the effectiveness of new technologies and/or help to reduce costs. The secondary market has recently been improved significantly but I am surprised at the premiums "market place" purchasers are prepared to pay, thereby reducing their potential returns from the nominal rates for what are somewhat risky investments. Perhaps this is a refection of the attractions of the platform and its offerings. Given the flow of projects, it will take many months or years to build what I would regard as an adequately diversified portfolio of loans without resort to the secondary market. This is not a criticism; more what I like to think is a realistic assessment of most P2P platforms.

Mar 23,2018It's nice to find a company that specialises in ethical, renewable, energy and also gives a good return. I have no experience of them long term, so as with any relatively new financial organisation, a degree of caution is necessary.

Mar 23,2018Very convenient reliable service. Only reservation is a recent move into less green technologies, such as burning refuse.
Alan
Mar 23,2018Everything is clearly set out and easy to understand, the only slight annoyance is the 3-5 working days wait to transfer money out.
Julia
Mar 23,2018I appreciate the clearly put information and warnings, and the straightforward access to my accounts and investments
Sarah
Mar 23,2018I'm new to investing, but think that Abundance offers the most ethical opportunities, at acceptably low risk.

Mar 23,2018I love the fact that I can choose my investment, both for length of term and interest rate, and I love the fact that my money is going where my mouth is - supporting renewable energy at a really crucial time for our planet.
Andy
Mar 23,2018Excellent, that about sums them up! Well researched Investments, plenty of information, great returns and totally green. What more can you ask for? ISA or SIPP? They have them too..A mixture of short and long term investments and the ability to try and sell if need your cash back sooner. So why not help the planet, improve the UK economy and your bank balance all at the same time??

Mar 23,2018A wonderful platform that is transparent and accessible. I never knew investing in ethical and sustainable projects could be so seamless. The website is easy to access and use. Investing is made easy and the customer service is of a high standard. I have the utmost confidence in recommending Abundance to anyone.

Mar 25,2018Easy to use, all information about investments available and easily accessible, any questions are replied to promptly and so far all returns have arrived on time. If the platform proves this reliable for another few months I will no doubt consider devoting a larger portion of my savings to Abundance, as I can be sure that the money will be put to good use. Thank you for offering such great service!
