One of the ways by which iuvo achieves stability is by providing buyback guarantee for all our loans.

Apart from the buyback guarantee, our originators maintain their own share in each, loan uploaded on the platform (the so-called skin in the game). The higher the originator’s skin in the game is, the safer your investment will be. Iuvo offers the highest percentage of skin in the game across all platforms – 30%. This guarantees higher safety and commitment by originators.

In order to activate it, you need to create a portfolio with certain criteria – rating class, interest rate (%), type of installment, etc. After creating the portfolio, the system will automatically choose loans that meet your requirements, and will invest in them. You can make changes, pause, or create more than one portfolio anytime you want. You decide!
