How does 8lends make money?

The 8lends model is simple and transparent:

  • Platform fee: 3%, paid by the borrower, but only if the pool is fully funded.
    Investors keep 100% of their investment and returns.
  • Penalty fees: Borrowers pay penalties if they miss deadlines. This keeps discipline and protects investors.

In short, 8lends earns from fees, while investors keep their full returns and businesses get fair terms.
