Savy is a Lithuania-based peer-to-peer lending platform that directly connects borrowers with European investors. It operates a loan marketplace where borrowers obtain financing without going through traditional banks, with loan agreements made directly between borrowers and investors. The platform does not rely on deposit accounts, and payments are arranged via borrowers' and investors' bank accounts, with loans typically issued as annuities and repaid monthly; returns are transferred to investors automatically. The service encompasses a range of loan types, including consumer loans as well as home, car, real estate development, and small business financing, enabling clients to access financing at potentially lower costs than conventional lenders. By facilitating direct investor-borrower connections, Savy aims to streamline funding and offer borrowers and investors streamlined, predictable terms across Europe.
