Many creditworthy businesses pay double-digit rates to borrow.
For decades, only institutions could earn them. Minimums in the millions. The right connections.
The barrier was never the quality of the lending. It was the size of the cheque.
We built Kasu to end that asymmetry.
Now you can lend into the same kinds of loans: vetted business lending, assessed by specialist Credit Originators, their lending histories in full view.
Take the interest as monthly income, or let it compound weekly. Your capital stays working either way.

Earn interest
Interest accrues and is capitalised at each weekly cycle close, so from week two, your interest is earning interest. Take monthly interest out as income, or leave it compounding.
Where your money works
Rates are ranges across current strategies, not guarantees. Capital is at risk on every strategy.
Explore all strategiesCredit underwriting to institutional standards, helping protect your capital.
Creditworthy borrowers first. Due diligence by institutional credit funds before a lending strategy is offered on Kasu. Technology that reduces lender risk at its source. Then the conventional structure: security and recourse taken by the Credit Originator, and financial and reporting covenants, monitored by institutional senior lenders.
We wrote the page most finance companies won't: the protections explained layer by layer, and an honest walkthrough of what happens when a loan goes wrong. Each Lending Strategy lists its own credit risk structuring before you commit.

The power of weekly compounding.
Kasu compounds interest weekly, and the rate you see already includes it.

This calculator is for illustration only. Projected figures are based on the rate you selected and assume it remains constant and your funds remain lent for the full horizon. The two compounding figures are alternatives: interest is either paid out monthly or left to compound, not both. These are not a promise or forecast of future performance. Withdrawing capital is by request and never guaranteed at any particular time. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance, and Lenders' capital is at risk. Kasu is not a bank and your money is not covered by any government deposit guarantee. Kasu does not provide financial advice.
We don't ask you to trust a promise. We show you the numbers.

Before you lend a dollar, others with far more to lose ran their own due diligence: on the company, and on the lending itself.

What you're probably wondering.
Where does the interest actually come from?
Our Credit Origination Partners are experts in plain, old-fashioned business lending. There is nothing exotic and no financial engineering behind the interest you receive. Underlying borrowers demonstrate strong track records in mature industries, not speculative ventures. Like any healthy business, they need debt to fund operations and growth, and the cash flows from those operations repay the debts, including the interest paid to you.
Is my money insured or guaranteed?
No, and anyone who tells you their double-digit return is guaranteed is lying to you. Kasu is not a bank, and there is no government guarantee behind it; what stands between your capital and a loss is the structure of the lending itself. Every layer, and what happens in a default, is on the Protection page.
Is this crypto?
No. No trading, no speculation, no betting on digital assets. Crypto is a volatile market that sits on top of blockchain: a permanent, shared ledger. The market is not the technology. Blockchain is becoming financial infrastructure, moving more than $33 trillion in the past year, more than Visa and Mastercard combined, and that technology is what makes Kasu possible. Your loans are made in stablecoins: regulated digital forms of currencies like the US dollar and the Australian dollar. Every movement of your funds sits on a permanent record that nobody, including Kasu, can alter.
Can I get my money back at any time?
Often sooner than you might expect, but never on demand. Capital returns as the underlying loans repay and as new lending enters the strategy, through Withdrawal Requests processed at each weekly cycle close. Historically, lenders have received capital back faster than the strategy timeframes suggest; that is history, not a guarantee. Enter with your strategy’s timeframe in mind, shown in the app before you commit, and treat a fixed term as fixed. If you may need this money at short notice, this is honestly the wrong place for it: compounding does its work when the money stays in.
How is this different from a savings account?
They do different jobs, and both jobs matter. A savings account is government-insured and instantly accessible. Kasu is direct lending to businesses: your money earns the rates businesses actually pay to borrow, carries real risk, and comes back by request as the book cycles, not on demand.
