Calling all P2P investors: How much do you really know about P2P lending?
Orca has launched a challenge for investors and industry players in the peer to peer lending (P2P) market. The P2P investment aggregation provider asks:” how much do you really know about P2P?” with a quiz designed to test P2P knowledge. Orca promises rewards for whomever places in the top 3 on the UK P2P Lending Knowledge Leaderboard by the close-date of the quiz.
Orca has teamed up with Peer2Peer Finance News. All winners will receive a print subscription to the magazine.
The winners of Orca’s challenge will be rewarded as follows:
- 1st place: £100 John Lewis voucher, P2P Finance News magazine subscription & Trophy
- 2nd place: Amazon Echo Dot and P2P Finance News magazine subscription & Silver medal
- 3rd place: Regency Hamper and P2P Finance News magazine subscription & Bronze medal
Orca has been providing in-depth research and analytics to P2P investors for several years. However, even with Orca now primarily a cross-platform P2P investment provider, offering P2P investment insight is still a key feature of the platform, accessible through their free analytics service and industry commentary. Thus, it’s no surprise that Orca wants to create a space for investors to challenge each other’s knowledge and encourage better due diligence.
Orca co-founder, Jordan Stodart, explains why this challenge will add a new element of competition and engagement to the alternative finance marketplace: “Investing is serious stuff. From the start, investors have been studying markets, trying to find an edge to earn additional returns and to reduce risk. There’s a mass of information to consume. For the fun of it, let’s put knowledge to the test. Think University Challenge meets local pub quiz, and this is somewhere in between.”
On a more serious note, Stodart goes on to state: “While it is a bit of fun, the quiz does also highlight the importance of research in this often-complex asset class. Without proper due diligence, you may leave yourself exposed to unnecessary risks.”

Results will be hosted on the UK P2P Lending Knowledge Leaderboard where investors can see how their performance stacks up against other investors in the market. The quiz will run until the 31st of July 2018.
