How does Yotepresto work?
Yotepresto.com is an interestingly sustainable model built to connect people’s financial goals.
Performing as an online marketplace platform, it matches people looking for credit with people willing to lend their money in order to obtain attractive returns. This model is also known as crowdlending.
By directly connecting creditors and debtors online, as well as eliminating traditional banking operational costs, yotepresto.com is able to reduce some margins and commissions, compared to several banking institutions.
With the crowdfunded money, debtors have the opportunity to reduce payment interests and creditors to earn a better-than-average interest rate.
Micro-creditors can pick who and how much money they’re going to lend – starting from USD $10 (around $200.00 MXN)-.
While debtors have access to a wide array of people willing to lend them money for a specific purpose. That way, they can fund their loans from multiple creditors.
Cool. But how are they performing so far?

Over 500K signed up users.
