The move comes as the peer-to-peer sector continues to mature and the FCA increases its oversight of the sector.

Target already provides standby servicing for a range of financial services institutions, including those with portfolios comprising peer-to-peer and commercial loans, first and second charge mortgages. 

Ian Larkin, Co-Group CEO at Target Group, said:
 

“Ratesetter, is one of the market leaders in peer-to-peer lending so the fact they have chosen to appoint Target is a strong endorsement of our work. Ensuring a back-up servicer is in place is now an essential consideration for those working in the alternative finance market to reassure regulators, clients and investors alike that in the unlikely event of business interruption they have a safety net in place.”

Colin Hodges, Head of Investor Operations at Ratesetter, added:  

“We have a responsibility to our customers to ensure that we provide them with a consistent and reliable service, and Target will help us to deliver this as we continue to grow. With their enviable track record and thorough knowledge of the industry, we are very pleased to have appointed Target to work with us in this way.”
