UK Peer-to-Peer Lending For Overseas Residents

Here's our list of P2P lending companies that we are aware of that you can lend through from overseas, i.e. outside the UK. And there's another list below of those that we know you can't.

In addition to any requirements below, you may only open an IFISA if you are a UK taxpayer and have a National Insurance number. (If you leave the UK, you can't make new contributions to your ISA.)

More ID checks for overseas lenders

If the P2P lending site is headquartered in the UK you will generally face greater hurdles when trying to open an overseas account, such as more manual checks to try to confirm your identity.

You must be UK resident to open an IFISA

While you can open peer-to-peer lending accounts from overseas, you must be a resident of the UK to open an IFISA.
