P2P Real Estate Lending Marketplace Relendex Reaches Milestone with Full FCA Authorisation

"FCA full authorisation marks a fantastic start to 2017 for the Relendex team and platform which will further encourage and facilitate investment in commercial property from both our UK and foreign investors. The appetite for P2P marketplace lending in the property sector continues to grow at an incredible rate with the advances in technology resulting in further market share being taken from the high street banks. Receiving full authorisation will further accelerate this growth and demonstrates that Relendex's robust operational infrastructure has met with the highest standards demanded by the FCA, bringing increased transparency and confidence to our customers."
