Nectaro Review Summary
Nectaro is a regulated Latvian investment platform offering access to consumer loan portfolios from Romania, Moldova, and the Philippines. Investors earn between 11% and 14.5% per year. All loans carry a 60-day buyback obligation. There is no secondary market.
This Nectaro review covers the loan originator structure, buyback mechanics, platform usability, liquidity constraints, and key risks investors need to understand before committing capital.
Key Takeaways from Our Nectaro Review:
- Regulated investment firm under MiFID II in Latvia
- Returns of 11%–14.5% per year across Romania, Moldova, and the Philippines
- 60-day buyback obligation — provided by individual lenders, not the group
- No secondary market — capital is committed until loan maturity
Nectaro offers competitive yields on consumer loan portfolios backed by in-house lenders. The structure is straightforward, but the EcoFinance Russia situation and the absence of a group guarantee are material risks to understand before investing.
What Is Nectaro?
Nectaro is a regulated investment firm based in Latvia. It gives retail investors access to consumer loan portfolios originated by EcoFinance, the lending arm of the DYNINNO Group — a U.S.-based corporation with operations in financial services, travel, and entertainment.
Investors earn annual returns between 11% and 14.5%, with loan terms of up to 4 years. Alongside consumer loans, the platform also lists business loans from SIA Abele Finance — a separate product that channels capital into DYNINNO Group operations. These are fundamentally different from the consumer lending portfolios and should be evaluated separately.
Pros
- Regulated investment firm — investor compensation scheme up to €20,000
- Returns of up to 14.5% per year with no cash drag
- 60-day buyback obligation on all consumer loans
- Clean, easy-to-navigate platform
Cons
- No secondary market — investments are illiquid until maturity
- No group guarantee — buyback rests with individual lenders only
- EcoFinance Russia had €2,240,439 outstanding to Mintos investors as of April 2026
- Withdrawal timelines can extend 7–10 days due to settlement schedules
- AML checks can temporarily restrict account access
Our Opinion of Nectaro
Nectaro launched in October 2023. The track record is short relative to established platforms, but the underlying lenders have posted solid results so far. Both the Moldovan and Romanian EcoFinance entities rank among the top five non-banking lenders in their respective markets.
The direct lending structure — where Nectaro funds its own group's lenders — means management can monitor loan performance without relying on third-party originators. This reduces information asymmetry compared to marketplace platforms.
Longer loan terms also reduce exposure to the regulatory crackdowns that typically target short-term, high-rate consumer lenders. Both lenders publish financial reports regularly, available in the Loan Originator section in our Nectaro review.
The buyback obligation is real but limited. It sits with each individual lending company, not the EcoFinance group. If a lender encounters severe difficulties, other group entities are not contractually obligated to cover the shortfall.
Dyninno Fintech Holding Limited reportedly guarantees loans from Abele Finance, but no contract has been shared publicly. We do not factor this guarantee into our assessment.
The EcoFinance Russia situation requires careful consideration. EcoFinance RU was suspended on Mintos in June 2022, leaving approximately €4 million at risk. As of early 2026, about 44% has been recovered over more than three years. EcoFinance has attributed delays to sanctions on Russian banks. This does not directly affect the Moldovan and Romanian lenders, but it is relevant context for evaluating the broader group.
We maintain an active portfolio on Nectaro. Our allocation is focused on Romanian consumer loans. We do not invest in Abele Finance. You can follow our current allocations in our P2P portfolio.

Where This Platform Fits
Nectaro works as a mid-yield position in a diversified P2P portfolio, particularly for investors comfortable with longer lock-up periods and no secondary market. It is not suitable as a core holding until the EcoFinance Russia recovery situation is resolved and the platform has built a longer track record at scale.
What Can Go Wrong
- The buyback obligation relies on individual lender solvency — there is no group backstop
- EcoFinance Russia has recovered only ~44% of the €4 million owed to Mintos investors over three years
- No secondary market — capital cannot be accessed before loan maturity under any circumstances
- Withdrawal timelines can extend 7–10 days, depending on lender settlement schedules
- AML checks can temporarily freeze account access without advance notice
- Abele Finance loans fund DYNINNO Group business operations — a structurally different and less transparent risk than consumer loans
- The platform has been operating since October 2023 — portfolio performance under stress has not been tested
Nectaro Bonus for New Investors
New investors on Nectaro can earn a 1% cashback bonus on all investments made within the first 21 days of registration, with a maximum bonus of €1,000.
The bonus is credited within five business days after the campaign period ends. No Nectaro referral code is required to qualify.
Requirements and Onboarding
Registration is fully digital and takes under 10 minutes. You will need to verify your email, provide personal details including residential address and tax information, upload a photo ID and selfie, and complete an investor questionnaire on regulated Notes.
Account activation took around 3 hours in our testing before funds could be deposited.
To fund your account, click "Add funds" in the left-hand menu. Include your investor ID in the bank transfer reference. Transfers must come from an EU/EEA bank account in your name. In our tests, funds arrived within a few hours.
Withdrawals
Uninvested funds were withdrawn within one business day in our tests. Invested capital cannot be withdrawn early — there is no secondary market or early exit mechanism.
Nectaro settles with the Romanian lender twice per week and with other lenders once per week. A loan that is officially due may show funds as "available" before the lender has transferred the money. This can push withdrawal timelines out by 7 to 10 days depending on when you submit your request. Withdrawals are processed on business days only.
Nectaro applies strict AML procedures. Random checks may require detailed proof of the origin of funds, temporarily restricting account access. Investors who are not comfortable sharing detailed financial documentation should consider whether this platform is appropriate for them.
Risk & Return
Nectaro offers annual returns of 11% to 14.5%. Higher rates apply to longer loan terms, functioning effectively as an illiquidity premium. The platform launched in October 2023, so the track record under stress conditions is limited.
Underlying exposure is to the loan originators and the markets they operate in. For country-level risk context, see our Country Risk Data Hub.
Loan Originators
Nectaro funds the lending portfolios of EcoFinance entities within the DYNINNO Group. This makes it a direct platform — similar in structure to TWINO or Robocash — where investors fund in-house lenders rather than third-party originators. Management can monitor loan performance directly, which reduces information asymmetry.
Abele Finance notes carry 11% interest with terms of up to 8 months. They are used to fund DYNINNO Group business development, not consumer lending. These are structurally different products with distinct risk characteristics.
Buyback Obligation
All consumer loan investments carry a 60-day buyback obligation. If a loan falls more than 60 days past due, the originating lender must repurchase the investment at face value plus accrued interest.
This obligation rests solely with the individual lending company. EcoFinance does not provide a group-level guarantee. If a lender encounters severe financial difficulties, other EcoFinance entities are not contractually required to step in.
EcoFinance Russia: What Investors Need to Know
EcoFinance RU was suspended on the Mintos platform on June 13, 2022, with approximately €4 million in principal and €84,000 in interest outstanding from investors.
Since suspension, EcoFinance RU has made partial repayments toward the outstanding balance. As of April 2026, approximately €2,240,439 remains outstanding.
EcoFinance has attributed delays to sanctions on Russian banks blocking external transactions. In December 2022, a debt restructuring agreement was reached with SIA Mintos Finance. Further sanctions in February 2023 disrupted payments. In June 2024, EcoFinance opened an account at a non-sanctioned bank and resumed monthly repayments. The outstanding balance as of April 2026 stands at €2,240,439.
This situation does not directly affect Nectaro's Moldovan and Romanian lenders. It is, however, relevant context for assessing the broader EcoFinance group.
€20,000 Investor Compensation Scheme
Nectaro is a member of Latvia's national investor compensation scheme under Directive 97/9/EC. The scheme covers up to 90% of net losses, capped at €20,000 per investor, if Nectaro itself cannot return funds or financial instruments.
This protection does not cover loan defaults, poor loan performance, or lending company insolvencies.
Taxes
Nectaro deducts withholding tax automatically from interest income under Latvian law. For EU/EEA tax residents, the standard rate is 5%, unless a double tax treaty applies — Lithuanian residents pay 0%. Legal entities are exempt from withholding tax.
The withheld amount appears separately in your account statement and annual tax report. In most cases it can be offset against your home country tax liability, avoiding double taxation.
Is Nectaro Safe?
Who Leads the Team?
The platform is led by Sigita Kotlere, CEO and Board Member, who joined Nectaro in 2022 from a Partnership Executive role at Mintos. She has a background in banking.
Nectaro was founded by Dmitry Tsymber, who also founded the EcoFinance group. His background in consumer lending underpins the platform's origination model and risk management approach.
Who Owns Nectaro?
Nectaro is owned by DYNINNO Fintech Holding in Cyprus, part of the broader DYNINNO Group — a U.S.-based corporation with operations in financial services, travel, and entertainment.
Terms and Conditions
No suspicious clauses were identified. A few points worth noting.
Storage of Funds
Investors do not hold individual IBAN accounts. All investor funds are held in segregated accounts, separate from Nectaro's operational funds.
Amendments
Nectaro provides 30 days' advance notice of any changes to its terms and conditions. Immediate changes are permitted only when they are in investors' favour.
Loan Agreements
The legal agreement for any Note can be downloaded directly from your portfolio overview by clicking the file icon on the right-hand side.
Platform Usability
The dashboard shows a portfolio overview including loan status, available balance, and average annual return. Navigation is clean and straightforward for both new and experienced investors.
The primary market lets you browse individual loans and filter by country, loan term, and interest rate. Select a loan, enter your investment amount, and confirm — funds are allocated immediately.
Auto-Invest
Auto-Invest automates capital deployment based on preset criteria: country, minimum and maximum loan term, interest rate thresholds, and a total investment target. Up to three strategies can run simultaneously, each executed at least once per day. Individual Note allocations range from €10 to €250.
Auto-Invest does not guarantee an evenly diversified portfolio. All Auto-Invest positions are held to maturity — there is no secondary market exit. For more precise control over per-Note exposure, manual investing is the better option.
Smart-Reinvest
Smart-Reinvest automatically redeploys principal repayments into the same Note series when a borrower repays early. If no matching Notes are available, the repaid principal returns to your cash balance. Interest is always credited to your cash balance directly.
The feature keeps capital deployed without requiring manual intervention. It is off by default and can be activated in account settings.
Liquidity
Nectaro has no secondary market and no early exit option. Capital is committed until loan maturity. The credit line structure means investors can typically expect to receive 50%–70% of invested funds back within the first 12 months, and up to 40% within the first six months.
Investors who need flexible access to capital should consider platforms with a functioning secondary market. Nectaro's advantage is the absence of cash drag — a common issue on larger platforms such as PeerBerry, Esketit, or Robocash.
Customer Support
Support runs through email at support@nectaro.eu. Response times are slower than on larger platforms — Nectaro is a smaller operation and does not offer live chat. The platform maintains an official Telegram channel for updates and community engagement.
