Mintos Review 2025: My Results After 6+ Years of Investing
An honest Mintos review based on 6+ years of real investing experience. See my actual returns (11.48%), platform safety analysis, and investment strategy.
Quick verdict
After 6+ years of investing on Mintos with consistent 11.48% returns, I consider it one of the most reliable P2P platforms in Europe. The investment firm license, €20,000 investor protection, and 64 loan originators make it an excellent choice for diversified P2P lending portfolios.
While COVID-19 caused some turbulence, Mintos handled it well and recovered strongly — returns are now trending back toward the 12% mark.

What returns can you expect?
On their homepage, Mintos advertises an 11.5% average return for investors. My personal return over the past years is currently at 11.48% — remarkably close. I've been investing since August 2015 with returns consistently in this range.
Is Mintos safe?
I always evaluate platforms on three key areas: the platform itself, the company & team, and loan originators. Mintos is one of the few P2P platforms I'd rate as genuinely safe for long-term investors.
