Returns and risk

How we set these levels

Risk level

Low

Higher means more risk. Nothing has been written off so far, which on its own gives the lowest level, Very Low. We set it one step worse, at Low, because the zero has not been tested: only one enforcement has been completed (€97,000), 8% of C-class loans defaulted in 2025 and about 16% of the outstanding book was late or in recovery in October 2026, so actual losses could end up higher. Loans are secured by property at 58% average loan-to-value.

Return level

High

10.57% a year, the average contract rate on all loans funded, weighted by amount (23 October 2026), before losses and tax.

Risk for the return

Good

A high contract rate on property-backed loans with no losses so far, for a low level of risk. The balance rests on a short record that is now under strain, with few recoveries completed.

Weighted average annual rate
10.57% a yearAverage interest rate on all loans funded, weighted by amount, on the statistics page on 23 October 2026 (10.59% in August 2026). It is the contract rate, before losses and the 15% Lithuanian withholding tax for non-residents. The home page advertises up to 14% including loyalty bonuses.

What the platform reports about losses (its own definitions)

Realised losses
0%No money written off on the €59.8 million funded (statistics page, October 2026); only one enforcement completed (€97,000). €2.30 million is in recovery and no recovery rate is published, so losses could still come.
Default rate
8%9 of 112 C-class loans monitored in 2025 defaulted (more than 90 days late on an instalment, or not repayable without enforcement), against 13.5% expected; 9 of 140 loans overall (6.4%, calculated from the platform's own figures). In 2024, 16 of 63 C-class loans (25.4%).
Loans in recovery
3.84%€2.30 million in recovery as a share of all money ever funded, 23 October 2026; about 8.7% of the loans still outstanding (calculated from the platform's own figures). Up from €0.61 million at 30 June 2026.
Late loans
3.38%€2.02 million late as a share of all money ever funded, 23 October 2026; about 7.7% of the loans still outstanding (calculated from the platform's own figures). Nothing was late in August 2026.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Loans are secured by property mortgages at an average loan-to-value of 58.39%, and nothing has been written off on €59.8 million funded (October 2026).
  • Dated statistics page with late and recovery amounts, yearly default tables by risk class with a clear default definition, and audited 2025 accounts with a clean opinion.
  • Licensed by the Bank of Lithuania since 25 July 2023 (LB002204), profitable in 2025 (€267,215), with a public review score of 4.5 out of 5 (31 reviews).
  • Average contract rate of 10.57% a year (October 2026), with no investor fees other than 2% on secondary-market sales.

Cons

  • Problem loans are rising: €2.02 million late and €2.30 million in recovery on 23 October 2026, about 16% of the outstanding book, up from nothing late in August.
  • No recovery rate is published and only one enforcement (€97,000) has been completed, so the zero-loss record is untested.
  • No buyback, reserve fund or automatic investing; secondary-market sales cost 2%, must be for the whole investment, and no trading volume is published.
  • Two of three shareholders and the deputy chief executive are shared with PeerBerry, so the two platforms are not independent of each other.

For borrowers and companies

Security
Mostly secured · Each loan is secured by a mortgage on property, often with a pledge of the borrower's shares or a personal guarantee. The average loan-to-value is 58.39% (October 2026): on average the property is valued at about 1.7 times the loan in valuations made for each loan. There is no buyback and no reserve fund. If a borrower defaults, Crowdpear follows a published procedure ending in enforcement against the property. Only one enforcement has been completed so far, so the security has not yet been tested at scale. In plain words: the property should cover the loan if values hold, but recovery takes time and the record is short.

About and licence

What it is

Crowdpear is a Lithuanian crowdfunding platform for property-backed business loans. Crowdpear, UAB was set up in Vilnius in 2021 and made its first loans in 2023. By 23 October 2026 it had funded €59.8 million through 598 loans (stages of the same project count separately), on property in Lithuania, Romania and Portugal. It had 11,349 registered investors in August 2026. Two of its three shareholders and its deputy chief executive are also behind the lending platform PeerBerry, but the two are separate companies.

How it works

You choose loans yourself from €100 each; there is no automatic investing. Loans usually run 12 to 24 months. Interest is paid monthly or quarterly and the loan amount is repaid at the end. Borrowers are property-owning companies borrowing for development, business needs or refinancing. Each loan gets a risk class from A to D. All investors start as non-sophisticated and take a knowledge test and a loss-bearing check.

Returns

The average interest rate on loans funded is 10.57% a year, weighted by amount (23 October 2026, down from 10.59% in August 2026). It is the rate in the contracts, before losses and tax. The home page advertises up to 14% including loyalty bonuses. Investors have earned €3.78 million in total. Independent tracking of investor portfolios points to a median of about 11.6% a year after losses (August 2026). Lithuania withholds 15% tax on interest paid to non-residents, which lowers what foreign investors keep.

Losses and defaults

No money has been written off so far, and only one enforcement has been completed (€97,000). But problems are growing fast. On 23 October 2026, €2.02 million (3.38% of all money funded) was late and €2.30 million (3.84%) was in recovery. Together that is about 16% of the loans still outstanding (calculated from the platform's own figures). The amount in recovery rose from €0.61 million at the end of June to €2.30 million at the end of July 2026, after the first default of a B-class loan, and nothing was late in August. Crowdpear's yearly default table counts a loan as defaulted if it is more than 90 days late on at least one instalment or cannot be repaid without enforcement: in 2025, 9 of 112 C-class loans (8%) defaulted, against 13.5% expected; in 2024, 16 of 63 (25.4%). No recovery rate is published.

What secures your money

Each loan is secured by a mortgage on property, often with a pledge of the borrower's shares or a personal guarantee. The average loan-to-value is 58.39% (October 2026): on average the property is valued at about 1.7 times the loan in valuations made for each loan. There is no buyback and no reserve fund. If a borrower defaults, Crowdpear follows a published procedure ending in enforcement against the property. Only one enforcement has been completed so far, so the security has not yet been tested at scale. In plain words: the property should cover the loan if values hold, but recovery takes time and the record is short.

Who runs it and its licence

Crowdpear, UAB (registration code 305888586, Vilnius) holds a European crowdfunding service provider licence from the Bank of Lithuania (LB002204), active since 25 July 2023; before that it worked under a Lithuanian crowdfunding permission from January 2022. Its 2025 accounts were audited with a clean opinion and showed a net profit of €267,215 and equity of €503,091. Investors' cash is held in a trust account at the Lithuanian bank AB Mano bankas, kept apart from Crowdpear's own money. No deposit insurance or investor compensation scheme applies.

Fees

Opening an account, investing, depositing and withdrawing are free for investors. Selling a loan on the secondary market costs the seller 2% of the sale amount. Crowdpear earns its money from borrowers.

Getting your money out

Money normally comes back when each loan is repaid at the end of its term, usually 12 to 24 months. You can sell a whole investment early on the secondary market for a 2% fee: listings last 14 days, sellers may ask up to 20% more and buyers may offer up to 50% less, and partial sales are not allowed. Late loans can be sold too. No trading volume is published.

Our view

Return: High — 10.57% a year average contract rate (October 2026). Risk: Low (higher means more risk) — nothing has been written off, which alone would be Very Low, but we set it one step worse, at Low, because the zero has not been tested: only one enforcement has been completed, 8% of C-class loans defaulted in 2025 and about 16% of the outstanding book is late or in recovery, so actual losses could end up higher. Risk-return: High — a high rate on property-backed loans with no losses so far, resting on a short and now strained record.

Licence

Crowdpear, UAB (registration code 305888586) holds a European crowdfunding service provider licence under Regulation (EU) 2020/1503 from the Bank of Lithuania, licence LB002204, active since 25 July 2023. It is authorised to facilitate loans, set credit scores and prices, run a secondary-market bulletin board and manage loan portfolios. Investments are not covered by deposit insurance or an investor compensation scheme.

Questions people ask

Is Crowdpear regulated?

Yes. Crowdpear, UAB holds a European crowdfunding service provider licence from the Bank of Lithuania (LB002204), active since 25 July 2023. No deposit insurance or investor compensation scheme covers your investments.

Who holds my money?

Uninvested cash is kept in a trust account at AB Mano bankas in Lithuania, separate from Crowdpear's own money and protected from its creditors. Once invested, your money is lent to the borrowing company.

What is the minimum investment?

€100 per loan.

What returns, and what losses so far?

The average contract rate is 10.57% a year (October 2026), before tax and losses. Nothing has been written off yet, but €2.02 million is late and €2.30 million is in recovery, together about 16% of loans still outstanding. In 2025, 8% of C-class loans defaulted.

What secures my investment?

A mortgage on property, often with a share pledge or personal guarantee. The average loan-to-value is 58.39%, so the property is on average valued at about 1.7 times the loan. There is no buyback or reserve fund, and only one enforcement (€97,000) has been completed so far.

Can I sell my loans early?

Yes, on the secondary market, for a fee of 2% paid by the seller. You must sell the whole investment, listings last 14 days, and a buyer is not guaranteed. Late loans can also be sold.

What fees do I pay?

None, except 2% of the sale amount when you sell on the secondary market. Non-residents also have 15% Lithuanian tax withheld from interest.

What happens if Crowdpear or a borrower fails?

If a borrower fails, Crowdpear enforces the mortgage on investors' behalf, which can take time. If Crowdpear itself failed, cash in the trust account remains yours and is kept from its creditors, but there is no compensation scheme and the loans would need to be serviced by someone else.

Is Crowdpear part of PeerBerry?

No. Crowdpear is a separate licensed company, but two of its three shareholders and its deputy chief executive are also behind PeerBerry. Holding both does not spread your risk across fully independent operators.
