All Loan Contracts are subject to these Terms of Use and your acceptance also constitutes your acceptance of any Loan Contract or Note issued for a Loan between one or more counter parties and you, in a Peer-to-peer loan transaction in accordance with the Terms of Use.

You acknowledge that the effective and efficient functioning of the Peer-to-peer Lending Program is subject to all parties to a Loan Contract strictly complying with these Terms and further specific instructions thereto sent by us.
Loans or Notes with varying tenors and principal amounts are published regularly on the Website and open to bidding by potential lenders (i.e. buyers of the note). Interested parties bid for the note by submitting a bid for the interest rate that they wish to receive for the relevant loan or note. This is done by a process of Dutch Auction. The lowest interest rate bid at the cut-off time (when bidding ends) wins the note/loan. Loans or Notes can be collateralised by a security interest. Although making best endeavours to establish whether the security interest has been properly established, Insurance Market nor its staff or associates is not responsible for the enforceability or lack thereof. The Lender accepts that he is at full risk and that any effective value of any security or collateral may be fully absent.

You may fund your Peer-to-Peer Account through a direct bank transfer to this designated SGD P2P Client Bank Accounts.

Failure to timely settle any obligations under the Peer-to-Peer Lending Program can have material financial consequences to the other parties involved in the transaction or the settlement thereof for, which you may be held liable. Rights, undertakings, agreements, duties, liabilities and/or obligations arising from a Loan Contract cannot be transferred to any party, without the prior written consent of all parties involved including Insurance Market.
The Borrower is entitled to make an early repayment (full repayment) of the Loan Contract by giving Insurance Market an early repayment notice via e-mail. Partial repayment of the Loan Contract is not allowed. The early repayment of the Loan Contract will become effective one (1) business day after the full outstanding loan balance, including the full interest and any fees due is received from the Borrower.
The principal amount and/or interest and charges shall be due and payable on or before the relevant Due Dates stated in the Note or Loan Contract.
If any payment becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the Due Date of such payment will be brought forward to the last business day before the original Due Date.
If repayment does not take place by the Borrower on the the due date a 1 month remedy period will start. During this 1 month period the Borrower will pay an additional 5% (p.a.) interest. After this 1 month period the collateral documentation (if any) will be passed to the lender who can then pursue repayment in line with Singapore jurisdiction.
