Starting from December 14, 2017, there will be a new structure for investing in Latvia-issued Mogo loans on the Mintos marketplace. The change has been employed to ease the administrative burden imposed by the state authorities on similar credit providers licensed in Latvia.

How will the new process work?

To obtain exposure to Mogo loans issued in Latvia, investors will be able to invest in loans issued by Mintos OU to Mogo’s legal entity in Latvia — AS “mogo”, where repayments depend on the final borrower’s payments. Each loan issued by Mintos OU to Mogo will be pegged to a respective loan issued by Mogo to the final borrower.
Mintos OU is a Mintos group company. A detailed description of the new structure is available in the Mintos OU loan agreement and assignment agreement.

How will the new structure affect investors?

Investors making investments according to the new structure will still gain exposure to Mogo-issued loans. Previously, investors had a direct claim against the final borrower; now, investors will have a claim against the loan originator – Mogo.
Because investments made will still be pegged to the loan performance of loans issued by Mogo, current Auto Invest functions for investing in Mogo loans will remain valid for loans placed on the Mintos marketplace under the new structure. If the change in investment structure affects your investment preferences, please be sure to adjust your Auto Invest settings accordingly.
