Throughout 2018, the average interest rate offered by Fast Invest grew from 12.78% to 14.3% (11.88% growth). The accumulated turnover grew from € 5.2 million to € 40.8 million through 1/12/18) (an increase of 685%). The investment volume grew from € 1.4 million in 2017 to € 8.1 (until 1/12/18) (478.57% growth). Fast Invest has over 30,000 clients. I started investing in Fast Invest in September 2018, attracted by the excellent retrun rates (up to 15% at the time), good reviews and comments, and the attractive and professional platform interface.
