Once again, Bondora eclipsed its record of monthly loan originations, bringing an exciting start to a new year. Not only did we originate more loans than ever before, we did provided loans to those who have matched our historical borrower profile.<\/p>\n

More Loans Across the Board<\/h2>\n

A new year brought with it even more lending for us at Bondora<\/a>. Total loan originations eclipsed \u20ac9 million for the first time on the month, coming in at \u20ac9,136,675. This represents a significant 8.1% jump from the previous month.<\/p>\n

Loans in Spain increased in total share to 2.45%, while Finnish loans remained the most originated.<\/p>\n

Trends among issuances by country and rating stayed fairly consistent, with Estonian loans being issued in higher rated categories, and Spanish and Finnish loans issued in lower rated categories. The category with the highest percentage of loan issuances (44.4%) was once again for F rated loans in Finland, followed by E rated loans in Estonia (12.57%).<\/p>\n

Average Age of Borrowers<\/h2>\n

There remains a steady trend for the age of Bondora borrowers. The average age of Estonian borrowers hasn\u2019t changed in three months. In Spain and Finland, the average age has trended downward slightly for the past several months. This downward trend should be taken as positive for investors, as younger borrowers generally have more time in their working careers to pay back loans.<\/p>\n

\"Average<\/p>\n

Loan Duration<\/h2>\n

The major change in average loan durations for January was in Spain, where the average loan jumped to 47 months after dropping to 40 months in December. However, this isn\u2019t much of an outlier, as the current month\u2019s average duration falls in-line with durations earlier last year. Durations across Estonia and Finland remained relatively stable on the month.<\/p>\n

\"Average<\/p>\n

Bondora didn\u2019t issue any loans in January with a duration of 3 months. More loans in Finland were issued with 36 and 48 month long durations, while 60 month duration loans were lower in the country. There was a significant increase in loans with 60 month durations in Spain, pointing toward the possibility of more stability in lending in the country. Issuances in Estonia remained relatively the same, with 36 and 60 month loans once again comprising the vast majority of loans.<\/p>\n

Net Income<\/h2>\n

Net income figures came down across the board during January. Figures in Finland had the most significant drop, lowering by almost 20% to an average of \u20ac3,132 (following a significant increase in the previous month). Incomes in Spain came in at \u20ac1,848, while the average income for Estonian borrowers was down only slightly to \u20ac1,269.<\/p>\n

Home Ownership<\/h2>\n

Borrowers from Finland exhibited a more stable home ownership status in January. There was a significant increase in Finnish borrowers who are homeowners or paying a mortgage. The opposite trend was seen in Spain, where more borrowers over the month were tenants or living with their parents. Housing data in Estonia was proportionally quite similar to the previous month.<\/p>\n

\"Home<\/p>\n

Education<\/h2>\n

The education level of Estonian borrowers was of slightly lower than the previous month, as 70% of Estonian borrowers have either a high school or university level education compared to 73% in the categories last month.
