*The current estimated return is an estimate of the annual return after fees and bad debts that investors could earn from lending money to businesses seeking loans today. It is calculated by taking the gross interest rate less fees and estimated bad debts that will occur in the future for each of the last 100 loans accepted on the marketplace. The average return is compounded and before tax. The return is updated daily. See the full calculation here .

The British Business Bank and its subsidiaries do not offer bank accounts, take deposits or provide regulated banking services.

Any decisions to provide finance to smaller businesses are made by Funding Circle not by the British Business Bank.
