Kasu
Kasu provides private credit lending to businesses, with weekly compounding and optional monthly interest payouts for lenders.
About Kasu
Kasu is a website for lending money to businesses through private credit. Lenders choose from listed lending strategies, each with a stated risk profile, terms and track record. The homepage says loans go to creditworthy businesses that have been assessed by specialist Credit Originators and, for each strategy, by institutional credit funds. Interest accrues weekly and is capitalised at each weekly cycle close, and lenders can take it as monthly income or leave it compounding.
Capital is at risk on every strategy. The homepage states that the advertised 9% to 20% p.a. rates are ranges across current strategies, not guarantees. Bank transfers settle through US, European (SEPA), Mexican and Brazilian payment rails and arrive as stablecoins in a digital wallet, and more regions are being added. The Kasu Card is listed as coming soon, with features described as planned and subject to change, and availability will vary by country.
