A new choice for investors
Let's take a closer look at how we can help you get great returns.
Why Octopus Choice?
Octopus Choice lets you target great interest by investing in loans backed by bricks and mortar.
Combining modern peer-to-peer technology with good old fashioned secured lending, we pool together money from lots of different people and invest it – alongside our own money – in loans carefully selected by Octopus Property.

You can even include it within your ISA, too.
Your money is at risk
Octopus Choice is not a cash savings account: your money is invested in loans to borrowers. We can't guarantee investors will get all of their capital back , or earn all of their interest.
Bricks and mortar security
All loans secured against property, meaning they can be sold if a borrower defaults.
We're not protected by FSCS
Peer-to-peer lending is not covered by the FSCS. Your capital and interest are at risk.
Our money where our mouth is
We invest 5% in every loan. You'll get your money back before us; and earn all your interest before we earn any.
Instant access isn't guaranteed
Withdrawing means selling your investments to other investors. We'll give you access quickly, but we can't make any guarantees.
Lending track record
All loans secured by Octopus Property; an experienced lender that's lent nearly £3 billion since 2009.
You can be affected by a downturn
All loans made through Octopus Choice are currently secured against property. Your investment could be affected by a downturn in the property market.
