A loss of over 85% of my investments.
Between 2018 and 2019 I invested over £8000 in projects that were designed to provide low-cost housing. I saw it as moral investing. Both projects failed due to poor (and possibly fraudulant) management that Abundance had not recognised. I have lost over £7000 on these investments.
Abundance has now changed its investment approach to much less risky Council bonds. All too late for me!

My partner and I have lost a total of around 80k between us due to companies failing. There are promises we'll get a proportion back, but this always comes to nothing.
Yes they tell you these are unsecured loans, but I'm shocked at the way abundance enthusiastically pushes these investments, then washes its hands of any responsibility. How is this legal?! AVOID!

Hi Matthew,
We are sorry to hear you have had a negative experience investing with Abundance, but thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We have communicated directly with you to give you more background on Abundance's due diligence process and our role in relation to the companies you have invested in. While we very much appreciate the concern and disappointment when an investment runs into difficulty and leads to a financial loss for our investors, it is the nature of the investments we offer that there is a risk of capital loss, and we make this clear across our platform and before an investor makes their investment.
If you have any follow up questions, please get in touch.
Kind regards,
The Abundance Team
Poor returns
All my big investments payments have been put back, not a few weeks, but years!! Its so dissapointing especially in light that I had to wait years for the investment dates to arrive in the first place. So amny of the investments have been bad - the usual emails arrive just before its time to cash out - re structure, refinance or 'we can't pay you but here's some buttons you can hold onto'. I would avoid this as an investment platform. I even bought shares in it many years ago as I believed in the philosophy. Give your money to an environmental charity. Its the same deal.

Seemingly very good projects to invest in. But, buyer beware!
I chose to invest with Abundance in 2018. They seemed to offer investments to fund good ideas for green energy generation, charging points etc for cities like Manchester.
The maturity payout for my first investment: energy generation (2018) has been pushed back to 2029
The maturity for the second investment: charging points (2021) has now been pushed back to 2031!
Think VERY carefully about investing in anything "positive" as you may find it becomes negative

Disappointed
Is there any verification procedure or risk assessment that goes on when choosing companies to lend to? It's so disappointing to be let down on payments at the frequency it happens. I understand that there is a risk but it should be better managed with better protection for investors. I was relying on an end of month payout but just received the inevitable email that it won't be happening. This is also the most untransparent platform for clarity of losses and gains. I started using the platform several years ago as I wanted ethical and environmental investments but I can't recommend them. They may as well call it a charitable donation platform.

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your experience investing with Abundance - we're sorry to hear of your disappointment in your experience investing with us.
We have always maintained rigorous due diligence procedures to ensure that the company investments offered on our platform meet the highest standards of transparency, legality and financial sustainability - that level of due diligence has not changed. Our extensive due diligence is done in advance of a company raising funding through Abundance and typically takes months to complete. However our due diligence process does not mitigate the risks that can affect an investment - so we make sure there are clear risk warnings throughout the process of choosing to invest on Abundance.
One of your investments has recently been extended (with the approval of investors), with the hope that the additional time can lead to a full repayment for investors. Please get in touch with our support team if you have any questions about your company investments.
As well as our company investments offered in the past, we are now focused on offering council investments which are lower risk for investors while still having the positive social and environmental impact.
Kind regards,
The Abundance Team
Poor due diligence on company investments
Abundance's due diligence for some of their company investments has been very poor. They started off with a fairly reliable model for investing in small scale renewables where there was a clear path to market and these investments have generally worked. They then tried to diversity into areas that they seemed to know little about (housing, biofuels, agriculture) where they appear to have been taken advantage of by unscruplous entrepreneurs and outright crooks. While investors might expect the occasional higher risk investment to fail, the success rate with Abundance investments which have moved away from their inital base has been very low compared to other platforms even allowing for the difficult economic conditions caused by COVID, the Ukraine and Iran wars and Donald Trump generally being an unstable idiot. At times they seem to have been completely fobbed off by flimsy reports from companies without making the slightest effort to ground truth what's being said.
More recently they have moved on to offer bonds to invest in local councils which are much lower risk (with consequently lower return rates) and these are working fine.

Hi Dr Moxley,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a considered review about your experience investing with Abundance - we're sorry to hear you've had a poor experience investing with us.
We have always maintained rigorous due diligence procedures to ensure that the company investments offered on our platform meet the highest standards of transparency, legality and financial sustainability - that level of due diligence has not changed. Our extensive due diligence is done in advance of a company raising funding through Abundance and typically takes months to complete. However our due diligence process does not mitigate the risks that can affect an investment - so we make sure there are clear risk warnings throughout the process of choosing to invest on Abundance.
There is no doubt that the last 5 or so years have been very challenging for many businesses, including those companies that have raised money on Abundance. We have seen those companies that had recently raised funding and were still building when the pandemic struck hit particularly hard. It was not so much the immediate challenges of the first lockdown, but those created by subsequent lockdowns and the aftermath as economies around the world got back to work – leading to severe shortages of some materials and labour, in turn driving higher prices (sometimes 20-30% higher and more). Russia’s war in Ukraine and Brexit added to rising prices (the war particularly impacted energy prices) giving no reprieve to those companies already hit by the constraints the pandemic created. Investors in those companies have unfortunately suffered as a result.
We have worked, and will continue to, to support all of the companies funded on Abundance that have struggled in recent years, but our role is limited. As an investment platform only, our role once an investment has closed is largely an administrative one, and we do not manage the businesses or have a direct oversight role or a role in the recovery efforts where a company has run into difficulties - this is led by the directors of the businesses or an administrator where the company has been placed into administration.
On Abundance you can choose to invest in two categories of investment - higher risk investments from companies, or lower risk investments from councils, as you say. You can read more about Abundance’s role in relation to our company investments here (https://help.abundanceinvestment.com/en/articles/3947968-our-role-over-the-life-of-an-investment) and our role in relation to council investments here (https://www.abundanceinvestment.com/legal/loan-disclosures).
Please get in touch with our support team if you have any questions about your investments.
Kind regards,
The Abundance Team

Oh look another “we ain’t got the money to pay you” notice a couple of weeks before maturity🤯 I held up my part of the bargain and these notifications are getting more and more regular, I guess companies see that Abundance investors are easy meat and that’s it game over for me, not getting what I was on target for and Abundance ain’t gonna fight your corner as they have had their cut up front. I haven’t forgot about the abysmal investments that went bust, who loses money on property in this country for crying out loud, and don’t get me started on the magic light growing farms that never had any electricity!!!

19k invested over 5 investments. 1 completely lost, 1 in administration,1 now awaiting delayed interest. I had another 5k invested which was doing fine and paying interest on time. This was repaid early as the company found a cheaper source of funding. Avoid Abundance.

Deposit process slow to show in app and payment taken twice with no confirmation. and unable
1 no warning of needing photo id to open account until well into process . 2 Deposit made but did not show in abundance account or in bank account. Normal confirmation of payment did not show as in other similar apps. I repeated the process but it still was not confirmed in bank or in abundance account Payments eventually showed up some time later - both payments had been made. I attempted withdrawal of one but system told me to contact staff to make a withdrawal - not possible outside office hours apparently. I was allowed to make my intended investment outside office hours but not to make a withdrawal to correct double payment. Poor!
I get the impression the app has not been fully tested.
LATE EDIT 3/12/25
Ability to withdraw has appeared a few hours later . Still find app disappointing due to delays in displaying my deposits and lack of confirmations/ notifications . Actually no on screen or email notification of deposits made - just a balance displayed later on. Completion of original deposit led to redisplaying of a fresh, blank "make a deposit screen. Which led to me trying again hence double payment.
Refund of excess payment notified via email mail but will not happen for 1 - 2 days. Why the delay?

Hi Mr Haigh,
I'm sorry to hear you had some issues making your first investment with Abundance. I know we have since messaged directly, but I just wanted to reply here as well to some of your other points.
We do require a photo ID as part of our identity verification process which is a standard requirement for banks/financial services as part of our regulatory requirements to help prevent financial crime.
Deposits to your Abundance account will take up to 1 working day to be processed (but usually quicker), which we do mention at the point of making the payment but I will pass your feedback on to the team to see if we can make that clearer in our messaging before payment.
You can make a withdrawal request outside of our office hours through your Abundance account - there is no time restriction on making a withdrawal request. A withdrawal will take up to 1 working day to be processed but usually quicker, and we have processed your withdrawal today.
I have passed your feedback on to our platform development team so we can look to make the deposit process quicker and clearer going forwards.
Thank you for signing up and investing with us, and if you need any help or have any questions in the future, please do get in touch with our support team.
Kind regards,
The Abundance Team
