How quickly do I get my funds?
The loan application process takes less than 15 minutes and 90% of our clients receive their funds within 24 hours of applying. Your loan is sent directly to your USDC wallet address once your loan is approved and we have received your collateral.
Do you reinvest my collateral?
Your collateral is never reinvested. It is custodied with a licensed custodian in insured (up to $250M), segregated, multi sig, cold storage wallets and is visible to you on the blockchain for the duration of your loan.
What is loan-to-value (LTV)
Loan-to-value or LTV is the percentage of the loan amount in relation to the market value of the cryptocurrency used as collateral.
For example:
Loan amount: $50,000 USD
Crypto collateral value: $100,000 USD
LTV (%) = ($50,000/$100,000)*100% = 50%
If the value of the collateral drops, for example to $60,000 then the LTV would increase to ($50,000/$60,000)*100% = 83.3%
If the value of the collateral increases, for example, to $150,000, then the LTV would decrease to ($50,000/$150,000)*100% = 33.3%
What happens if the value of my collateral changes before I repay my loan?
If the value of your collateral increases (your LTV decreases).
1. You can leave your collateral as is.
2. You can withdraw a portion of your collateral (as long as the resulting LTV is equal to or lower than your LTV at loan origination).
3. You can sell a potion of your collateral to pay off your interest and/or your loan principle (as long as the resulting LTV is equal to or lower than your LTV at loan origination).
If the value of your collateral decreases (your LTV increases).
1. Once your LTV rises the Margin Call LTV stipulated in your loan agreement our systems will periodically notify you via email, of the current value of your LTV. You may choose to send us more collateral or pay off a portion of your loan to decrease your loan LTV, or you may choose to do nothing and continue to monitor your LTV.
2. Once your LTV rises to the Liquidation LTV stipulated in your loan agreement, our system will automatically sell a portion of your collateral to bring your loan LTV down to your your LTV at loan origination. To avoid this scenario, monitor and top up your loan collateral once it reaches the Margin Call LTV.
At what LTV do you liquidate my collateral?
The liquidation LTV will be stipulated in your loan agreement. We strive to give our clients the most flexibility with the highest LTVs possible.
For example:
Loan amount: $50,000 USD
Crypto collateral value: $100,000 USD
Origination LTV (%) = ($50,000/$100,000)*100% = 50%
Liquidation LTV = 90%
Your collateral would have to fall from $100,000 to $55,555 before we liquidate it to pay off your loan.
($50,000/$55,555)*100% = 90%
Are there limits to how much I can borrow?
At APX Lending, you are able to get personal loans from as little as $1,000 USDC and business loans up to $10,000,000 USDC. At the current time we only offer loans in USDC. (https://www.circle.com/en/usdc).
