MoneyZen
The Admiral Markets Platform
An Estonian peer-to-peer web platform for loans and investments based on the principles of responsible lending.
Story behind
MoneyZen is a financial portal from Estonia that allows its users to register as an investor or as a borrower. Investors, on the one part, decide under
which conditions they want to lend a loan, and borrowers, on the other, specify the lending period and amount of money needed.
The client came to Anadea with a legacy backend, a need for modern user-friendly design, a request to simplify interaction with the platform for both parties, and a desire to attract more users willing to invest and borrow through MoneyZen.
Anadea work on
MoneyZen
The project struggled with a lack of borrowers who completed a complex registration that suggested filling multiple forms. The Anadea team integrated the client’s legacy with Estonian governmental services to automate registration as a borrower. Now to sign up, borrowers only need to specify their national ID, and the rest is auto-filled.
Multiple integrations with governmental services require keeping the platform up with frequently changing Estonian legislation, so our team is working on MoneyZen’s consistency with relevant regulations in the field of finance. Apart from that, we redesigned the investors’ interface and improved the display of statistics in the admin panel.
Main features
Both investors and borrowers sign up using Email, Smart-ID, or Mobile-ID and transfer money between their personal bank accounts and MoneyZen virtual accounts.

More than just a solution

The platform is monetized through commission for transactions, so more users mean more revenue for the client.
Such growth inspires project founders to look into other markets and currencies: those of Cameroon, South Africa, and more. We helped the client fulfill their goals and can’t wait for more people to hear from MoneyZen.
