What if Crowdstacker goes out of business?
In the event that Crowdstacker Limited is unable to trade, the firm has agreed a living will agreement with Resolution Compliance Limited to ensure that the firm is wound down in an orderly manner for both its peer to peer lending, bond, loan notes and equity crowdfunding business.
Resolution Compliance Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under FRN: 574048. They will then continue to administer the loan as normal and you would continue to receive interest payments until maturity, when your capital will be repaid.
Upon a decision to wind down the business, lenders who have active loans are unlikely to be able to withdraw their investments until borrowers have repaid.

If I open a new IFISA, can I put my existing P2P investments into it?
We have been in discussions with HMRC since the launch of the Innovative Finance ISA to work out a method of transferring your Peer to Peer investment to your Innovative Finance ISA. Although it is allowed, the solution is not easy for an investor.
We would require you to fund your Innovative Finance ISA with an amount totaling the Investment Amount of the Peer to Peer investment you want to transfer.
For more information, please contact us at 020 7118 7570.

How much Tax do I have to pay and is it deducted at the source of my investment?
Interest is paid on loans, bonds or loan notes held in your ISA account are paid gross and are tax-free subject to your tax status.
Interest paid on loans that are held in your P2P account are paid gross, so you would be responsible for the payment of any income tax due on interest you receive through Crowdstacker.
