Wellesley’s new investment platform has launched – Bond open to new investment

Take a look at our brand-new account pages

At Wellesley, we’re undergoing an exciting transformation. Following on from our enhanced regulatory permissions received earlier this year, we are evolving our product offering exclusively towards listed bonds.  As part of this progression, today we’re excited to launch a new investment platform that will enable customers to invest into our listed bonds directly with Wellesley.

We’re thrilled to be launching the platform with our investment product The Wellesley Property Bond which is regulated and listed on Euronext Dublin which is ranked No.1 for bond and investment fund listings worldwide and has over 36,700 securities listed.

 

What does this mean for existing customers with legacy peer-to-peer or mini-bond holdings?

Existing customers will have access to both the new platform and Wellesley Classic (our legacy peer-to-peer and mini-bond investment platform). Upon logging in, customers will be taken to the new platform however, Wellesley Classic will still be accessible via the ‘Wellesley Classic’ button which can be found at the top of the screen.

As we no longer offer peer-to-peer or mini-bond investment products, Wellesley Classic is only available to customers with existing investments in these products and can only be used to manage existing holdings. All new transactions relating to listed bonds will be accessible and manageable via the new Wellesley investment platform.

Funds from existing customers’ holding accounts have been transferred into the new platform. This is where interest and full capital on maturity will be paid into. Customers are free to withdraw or reinvest funds as usual from the new platform – instructions on how to do this on the new platform can be found here.

What does this mean for new customers?

New customers can benefit from easy access to our listed bond products. If you’d like to register for an account, please click here. New customers will not have access to Wellesley Classic as it only exists for customers with legacy peer-to-peer and mini-bond investment products.

 

What does this mean for investors in The Wellesley Property Bond with The Share Centre?

If you’re already an investor in The Wellesley Property Bond with our partners The Share Centre, your holding is still with them and can only be managed through them. Please click here to be taken to their website.

 

What does this mean if you hold a Wellesley account but have never purchased a product before?

If you have registered for a Wellesley account but have never funded your Wellesley account, you will need to register for an account on the new platform. Only customers who have existing holdings with Wellelsey will have access to the new platform and Wellesley Classic as we are unable to transfer customers without holdings to the new system. Please click here if you’d like to register to gain access to the new Wellesley investment platform and gain access to our listed bond investment opportunities.

 

As we work hard to bring customers the future of investing, we understand that you may wish to familiarise yourself with the new platform and, as such, have prepared how-to guides, FAQs and a glossary to help with navigation.

 

We hope you enjoy investing The Wellesley Way.
