  1. How to become an Wayni P2P investor
    • You must register as an Wayni P2P Investor by completing a Investor Application on the Website to create your Online Account. We also allow you to complete a Lender Application in paper form. If you wish to do so, you can make a request through the Website for a paper form to be sent to you. Our use of the personal details you provide through the registration and investment process is subject to the terms of our Privacy Policy and clause 26.
    • You can use the Investor Application to lend money through the Wayni P2P Service for the first time or through an existing Online Account with us. The minimum investment and minimum account balance of cash and loan capital on your account is £10. If your account drops below this level, we may, at our discretion, close the account and pay the proceeds to you. We may increase the minimum account balance at any time upon providing you with one month’s prior written notice.
    • Your Lender Application will provide us with details of the P2P Portfolio you would like us to build for you. If we accept your application, we will provide you with your Online Account details.
    • You must provide us with the account details of the bank account from which you intend to make and receive payments (your Nominated Bank Account). Your Nominated Bank Account must be in the same name as the person who is registered with us and must be held with a bank or building society (“Credit Institution”) that is acceptable to us. We may accept or reject applications to create an Online Account at our absolute discretion.
    • If you want to add funds to your P2P Portfolio, sell all or part of your P2P Portfolio or request us to move money between your Wayni Client Account and your Nominated Bank Account, you can do this through your Online Account.
    • You may designate any part of the cash or loan capital on your account as being held in the account on behalf a person under the age of 18. Any cash or loan capital designated in that way remains your property and does not become the property of the person it is held for.

  1. Your Money
    • You will be required to transfer your loan commitments into the Wayni Client Account in order to enter into any P2P Loan. You can fund the Wayni Client Account by electronic transfer, direct debit or by debit card payment. We reserve the right to refuse to accept any particular funding transaction or to disable any particular funding method without notice in our sole and absolute discretion.
    • We may transfer P2P Loans to you before the amount you transfer has been received by us.
    • Payments will remain with your payment services provider until received by us in cleared funds. If the amount does not clear in full and is therefore not received into the Wayni Client Account within the standard clearing timeframes associated with the payment method you have used, we will re-transfer to other Lenders the P2P Loans that had been transferred to you and we will deduct from your account any associated interest paid to you.
    • We will claim and account for all repayments, interest and other payments or entitlements received and due to you and pay them into the Wayni Client Account. We will not mix money in the Wayni Client Account or the Trust Account with our own money. The name of the Wayni Client Account and the Trust Account shall make it clear that they are held for the benefit of our clients and that the proceeds of the account should not be paid out to our general creditors in the event of our insolvency.
    • No interest will be payable on your money held in the Wayni Client Account.
    • Any fees, charges or taxes will be deducted before paying the net proceeds of any amounts due to you into your Nominated Bank Account. Where we make a tax deduction (or any payment required in connection with that tax deduction) which is required under the relevant tax law (including withholding of the basic rate of income tax), we will provide you with a statement (or other reasonably satisfactory evidence) that such tax deduction has been made or an appropriate payment has been made to the relevant taxing authority.
    • After termination of your Online Account, we will repay all sums due to you into your Nominated Bank Account. If we are unable to trace you to make such payment within 6 years, having made reasonable attempts to do so, we may pay your money to a registered charity of our choosing.
    • If you wish to change your Nominated Bank Account, you may only do so to another account in your name with a bank or building society based in the UK.
  2. Complaints

We endeavour to deliver a first-class service to our clients, but we recognise that there may be occasions when we fail to meet your expectations. If you have a complaint, then you can contact us through your Online Account by email at support@wayni.co If we are not able to resolve the complaint to your satisfaction, you may have rights to refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Further details are available from the Financial Ombudsman Service, at www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk. You may request a copy of our complaints-handling procedure at any time.

 

  1. Fee and charges

Our fees are paid by Borrowers and we do not currently charge you for your use of the Wayni P2P Service. However we may introduce charges for exceptional transactions, provided that no such charges will be introduced retrospectively in relation to P2P Portfolios that were created before such charges were notified to you.

 

  1. Conflict of Interest

We will ensure that any potential conflicts of interest that might arise between a Borrower and an Investor, or different Investors, are identified and managed effectively in accordance with our Conflicts of Interest Policies.

We maintain a Conflict of Interest Register to monitor and identify any possible conflicts which may arise in association with lending to Borrowers via the Platform. This is in keeping with our Conflict of Interest Policies.

 

  1. Termination of your Online Account
  • Your agreement with us pursuant to these Terms and Conditions shall come into effect on the date you register as an Wayni P2P Lender (by submitting a Lender Application and opening an Online Account) and will continue until you notify us via the Online Account or in writing, or we notify you, that your Online Account is to be closed. Such notification will take immediate effect, subject to the terms of this clause. You shall not be charged any fees or charges for closing your Online Account.
  • You will not be capable of closing your Online Account at any time when you have an existing P2P Portfolio. Termination of these Terms and Conditions will not entitle you to withdraw from the P2P Loans to which you are committed unless we are able to sell your P2P Portfolio in accordance with clause 6 on your behalf.
  • We may, at any time and at our discretion, prevent you from committing funds to new P2P Loans.
  • We may, where we believe it to be desirable for legal or regulatory reasons or upon giving you at least 30 days’ written notice for any other objective reason, attempt to wind up your existing P2P Portfolio by selling your P2P Loan commitments to alternative Lenders.
  • After all outstanding transactions (including in relation to Non-Performing Loans) have been completed we will provide you with a closing statement detailing the interest paid on your loans in the current tax or calendar year. Our responsibility for managing your Online Account and your P2P Portfolio will then cease entirely.
  • Termination will not affect accrued rights or any contractual provision intended to survive termination.

 

  1. Data protection
  • You will be required to provide personal details and a password to register as a P2P Lender. These registration details and password are unique to your individual Online Account and are not transferable.
  • Your registration details and password are how we identify you and so you must keep them secure at all times. You are responsible for all information and activity on the Platform by anyone using your details. If you authorise an agent, family member, employee or sub-contractor to use your Online Account, you will be responsible for their activity on the account. Any breach of security, loss, theft or unauthorised use of your security details must be notified to us immediately. We reserve the right not to act on your instructions where we suspect that the person logged into your Online Account is not you or we suspect illegal or fraudulent activity or unauthorised use.
  • You agree not to adapt or circumvent the systems in place in connection with the service, nor access our systems other than by using the credentials transferred to you and by following the instructions that we have provided for that type of connection.
  • Our use of your data will be subject to our Privacy Policy, which is available to view here: com/privacy
