Media Presence

The fact that all of the operations are carried out within one holding company enables better control of processes, reduced risk and increased profitability for the customers. This means that if one entity faces financial difficulties, the IT Smart Finance holding company can step in.

Nibble's affiliation with IT Smart Finance Holding gives the platform access to a proven business model. This structure is very advantageous for investors due to the following fact: Nibble's parent company can exercise full control over the loan originators, which reduces the likelihood of loan originator defaults.

I have high expectations from financial investment platforms, and when Nibble launched in 2020 I was very critical of the platform. However, during the past year they have revamped their site and model and I think it’s much more of a serious contender today. It is definitely one more valid alternative in the P2P lending space

The platform also has an auto-investment tool, allowing trading in P2P through Nibble to be fast and straightforward. This way, it will enable users to stay confident about reinvesting their capital each time the funds become available in their account. This is a golden opportunity for all investors, who will be able to generate attractive, frequent, and passive income as well as be part of a business model which is undergoing aggressive growth

While Nibble Financeis a relatively new platform, it looks very promising. They’re implementing more and more features that make it a user-friendly platform. Plus, they’re backed by the more prominent IT Smart Finance Group. They provide a good return for the risk you’re taking. Over time, the platform will develop itself and could become the main competitor of platforms like Mintos.
