"I think the Homeowners Loan is an excellent idea, helping people get to 20% deposit to qualify for better rates. I will be investing as much as I can into it. I wish it had been available to me when I got my mortgage. Squirrel Money is providing an important service at the same time as a really good investment opportunity, exactly what I had hoped peer to peer banking would be. "

"best P2P provider in New Zealand"

"Seamless process to invest. "

"Nice website (clean, easy to use). Reserve fund is a reassuring plus. As a newcomer, still feeling my way with bidding strategy. Overall, very good impression so far."

"I am a new investor, and while I cannot make any long term comments about Squirrel, so far my experience has been totally positive."

"P2P lending is the future!"

"Quick and easy to navigate your site. Easy to select what investment return to choose and you dont have to put all your funds into one loan."

"It was easy and quick. "

"Initially I was a bit skeptical about the whole concept, so I invested a small amount to get a better understanding. Once I found out how to work the platform, I got more confident and have since invested a few more times."

"Customer service is excellent - very helpful and very quick with answers via email. I'd like to see some demo/ tutorial videos on the website :)"

"Once I figured out how to use the online platform it was fine, but it is not all that obvious and it did take me a while to understand it. "

"While it did take a bit of percerverance to get the my personal details and the account verified,it was more due to my lack of knowledge of my computer operation than your systems. Charles Chen was very helpful to me through the process with his patience and prompt followups,both on the telephone and emails.He also assisted me to get the hang of the actual investing page,which when looking back with the wisdom of hindsight,was pretty straightforward. For me,this is a trial investment to see how things go. The real sustainability will be when the cold winds of a rescession blow through the country. I am prepared to percervere with J.B's innovative investing,based on his experience in banking and I believe,. considerable business acumen. I thoroughly read through his investor information twice before taking it further to other comprehensive details on offer,without rushing into any hasty descisions. From first hearing J.B at the P.Nth roadshow evening it was about 2.5 mths until I actually invested.GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME,as the cheese advert says. I am looking forward to more investments in the future. Thankyou to the Squirrel team."

"Very happy to invest. Good Peer to Peer experience. "

"Hi Squirrel, service and everything has been great so far. Just wondered why all the investments are in $500.00 lots? Kind Regards, Grant Scurr 0273 501 042"

"With the banks paying so little I was looking for something with more reward. I know the banks are charging good rates for personal loans. Yet it didn't seem that that was being passed onto the customers with money in the bank. I wanted to get a better return for my investment and yet at the same time help others by offering lower interest rates than a bank would. To me a borrower should have a realistic chance of being able to pay a loan back without being crippled by high interest rates. I had looked at other P2P Providers, but there interest rates seem to be too high for borrowers and reviews indicated that they weren't necessarily operating fairly. No such issues with Squirrel Money. A east to use site and totally transparent. Thanks Squirrel Money! "

"I have been with Squirrel lending for the last 2 months and am feeling pretty exited about. Prompt payment so far. "

"I can certainly say that I trust Squirrel Money more than any other NZ peer-to-peer lending platform. Yes, the interest rates are a bit lower compared to the other P2P lenders in NZ but my hard-earned money is a lot safer. For me is all about trust and I appreciate the transparency when it comes to information disclosure in real-time. I like the "Looking after your money" page on their website."

"Early days yet for our relationship with Squirrel, but first impressions are very positive. The two aspects that we are still coming to grips with is firstly the optimum amount to place on an investment order and how long we will have to wait for the order to be applied to a loan. We need to keep the amount at a relatively lower level so as to potentially benefit from a speedy sale if we need to abandon the loan, but just want a small portfolio of loans so that we do not need to spend time overseeing our account. As there seems to be currently a large pool of investors we have selected the minimum interest rate in each category so as to "get in the queue". We are assuming that in doing this others cannot "overtake us" in the queue and therefore only a matter of time before our investment orders are allocated to new loans. The service received from Squirrel, both phone and email, has been first-rate from the communication and information perspective."

"Bit long to get funds matched. also no clear menu to get back to the dashboard."

"I do like the platform but I think investors should be able to choose their appropriate interest rate for their account. I would like some feedback on this please. Thanks Hayden"
