NS PAY functionality is integrated into the NORDSTREET platform, which means you don't have to separately open an account elsewhere.
After logging in to your NORDSTREET account, you will need to go through the 3 steps required to establish and confirm your identity. After that's done, the NS PAY e-wallet will be opened automatically, which you will be able to manage by logging in to your NORDSTREET account.
NORDSTREET focuses on the convenience and safety of its customers. At the same time, we must comply with legal requirements and implement the "Know your customer" (KYC) principle in our activities, i.e. identify and confirm the identity of the investor.
Identification and updating your information usually takes up to 5 minutes. For identification you will need:
• Your identity document: Passport or ID card

Yes, you can open an account in Nordstreet on behalf of the company.
You can invest a minimum of EUR 100 in each crowdfunding project on the ,,NordStreet" platform. There is no maximum restriction on the investment amount and number of funding projects.
Next to every crowdfunding RE (Real Estate) project, you will find information on its developers, capital type, risk group, loan repayment term, estimated return on investment, etc. We recommend considering all information provided on a project before making your investment choice.
The LTV indicator provided next to each crowdfunding project shows the loan amount to pledged property value ratio. The lower the indicator, the lower the investment risk, as in a case of non-repayment of the loan, the value of property sold will be higher than the loan. A lower LTV indicator means lower risk of not recovering the investments if property prices drop due to a crisis.
After logging in to „NordStreet“ crowdfunding platform, in your Investor Profile in the section My Investments you will always be able to find a project information summary. Full information is available under the project. We will also notify you as an investor on all updates and additional information by e-mail.
The interest on the Loan Amount shall be calculated from and including the date of disbursement of the Loan Amount to the Borrower's account (or accounts) as notified by the Borrower to the Operator in writing prior to the disbursement of the Loan Amount.
The interest rate indicated next to each „NordStreet“ crowdfunding project is an annual rate. Thus, if during a period of 12 months the estimated rate of return on the loan is 12 percent, this means that the monthly interest rate is 1 percent (12 / 12 = 1). For example, if you invest EUR 1,000 in a project with a 12 percent annual rate of return, then each month’s interest will comprise EUR 10 (EUR 1000 x (12/12/100) = 10).
When the borrower makes a payment, the funds will be distributed among all investors in proportion to the amount invested. If the amount received is insufficient to cover the full payment, the share of investments and interest will be allocated to the investors in proportion to the invested amount. For example, if your investment comprises 3 percent of the total project amount, you will receive 3 percent of the interest amount transferred by the borrower. In this case, upon receipt of funds from the borrower who delayed payments, first, the default charges due to the investors will be deducted, then the interest.
Unless otherwise indicated in the loan repayment schedule provided next to the project, your interest will be paid on a monthly basis, while the principal amount invested will be repaid at the end of the project (each project has a specified duration – 12, 24 months, etc.).
Important information for Lithuanian residents
If you invest as an Individual, the interest earned is included in Class B income, which you must declare and pay 15% PIT (personal income tax) on that income. This tax must be paid by Lithuanian residents themselves on the total amount of interest received during the tax period, which exceeds € 500, i.e. when the total amount of interest received during the tax period exceeds EUR 500, the amount exceeding EUR 500 is taxed at the rate of 15%.
For the past calendar years, Nordstreet will provide the State Tax Inspectorate with the necessary data on the interest you have received during the calendar year.
When paying penalties / interest to Lithuanian residents, Nordstreet will deduct and pay 15% PIT to the STI budget.
Important information for foreign residents
Interest paid to foreign resident individuals is classified as Class A income and will be subject to personal income tax (PIT) deducted and paid by Nordstreet.
For this reason, foreign residents will automatically be charged 15% personal income tax before paying interest, which will be transferred to the State Tax Inspectorate (STI).
No PIT is required for the payment of penalties / interest to foreign residents.
The most common reasons for unsuccessful investment:
If you can't invest - try another device and / or browser. We recommend our investors to use the Chrome browser. If the problem persists - be sure to let us know by fulfilling the form.
The „NordStreet“ platform is an intermediary between the investor and the project owner, offering a range of carefully selected projects of the highest creditworthiness; however, the investor shall assume all possible risks: risk of full or partial loss of funds allocated for funding (capital); absence of potential profit and financial liquidity risks.
However, these scenarios are highly improbable. „NordStreet“, acting as the creditors’ representative, will ensure repayment of investments: whenever necessary, transfer of property pledged by the project owner may be initiated and other measures may be taken to ensure repayment of an investment.
If the necessary investments are not collected, the project will not be funded. „Nordstreet“ does not have access to your funds; until confirmation of the project, the amount invested will simply be reserved on your „NS PAY“ account. If the project is not confirmed, the reservation will be cancelled and the money will remain on your account.
In this case, „NordStreet“ will initiate the loan recovery procedure. If your money is not repaid, the property pledged by the borrower will be sold to return money to the investors.
The „NordStreet“ crowdfunding platform is supervised by the Bank of Lithuania, thus the latter has also approved the platform’s business continuity plan. Its purpose is to protect the investors in the event of the company’s bankruptcy. The plan identifies the main risks and the action plan to execute if „NordStreet“ operations were to be suspended.
In this case, the following key actions have been identified:
Protection of the funds invested is achieved by means of such guarantees of performance of the loan obligations as the pledge of immovable property, personal surety, etc. These measures are specified next to each investment project individually and may differ from project to project.
The operator actively communicates with the borrowers and in case of delays helps and advises to cover the payments as soon as possible. The most common reasons for delays are the lack of planning skills of borrowers, unforeseen circumstances and lack of working capital.
In the case of late payment, compensatory interest equal to 0.2% is calculated to each investor for each day of delay. Compensation is calculated on the amount of late payment.
A settlement agreement can be used as a convenient tool for regulating debt recovery - the creditor, in order to avoid a long forced debt collection process, during which the debtor has tools to bypass debt repayment or postpone it for a long time, can grant certain concessions to the debtor, for example, waive part of the late interest or set a more favorable debt repayment schedule for the borrower and thus ensure the possibility of recovering the debt faster. There are situations when the quick recovery of a part of the debt prevents the recovery of the entire debt, because the debtor can no longer continue business activities and earn enough to repay the entire amount of the debt. In such cases, a compromise can be found to change the debt repayment schedule, which ensures the implementation of the interests of all participants in the debt relationship.
In this case, loan repayment will be managed by „NordStreet“.
Borrowers always receive a reminder message about an upcoming payment deadline. If the payment is not made on the date specified, the customer will receive an automatic reminder call. During the call, the reasons for delay will be established and an exact amount due will be indicated. The borrower will be reminded that in the event of delayed payments, he/she will be obliged to pay penalty charges and his/her personal data will be published in the system of Creditinfo Lietuva credit bureau.
The aim of „NordStreet“ is to inform the borrowers about possible consequences and encourage them to make payments within a reasonable time. A customer delaying any payments will receive SMS messages, e-mails and phone calls. If the parties fail to come to an agreement, i.e. the borrower does not make the payment, he/she will receive a warning of transfer of this information to a debt collection company and its publication on the Creditinfo database.
If the Borrower delays payment for a period of 40-45 days, „NordStreet“ will transfer the debt recovery process to debt collection companies. At the same time, in order to make sure that the customer does not assume any more financial obligations, information regarding the debt will be published in the database of Creditinfo.
The „NordStreet“ crowdfunding platform cooperates with three debt collection companies. Two of them are involved in the first, and one – in the second debt administration stage.
Primary recovery
The duration of this stage is commonly 3 or more months, counting from the moment of transfer of the debtor to a debt collection company. If at the moment of debt administration the debtor is solvent and complies with the debt repayment schedule approved by the debt collection company, the debt will not be passed on for the secondary recovery and will be managed by the same company until the end.
Secondary recovery
The secondary recovery will be initiated, when during the primary stage, the debt collection company is unable to reach agreement on the payments and/or the debtor fails to settle within a period of 90 days. The secondary recovery is always executed by a specialised debt collection company.
Once the customer repays the debts, the recovery actions will the suspended and the customer will be asked to follow the previously established payment schedule.
The status of primary and secondary debt recovery and all actions involving investors will be displayed in real time. You can see:
The status of investments and the meaning of each will be provided in the personal account of each investor. Relevant information and information on the debt recovery actions, their commencement or completion, will be both made available on your „NordStreet“ account and sent to you by e-mail.
Legal recovery is a measure of last resort which is used if, during the pre-trial procedure, the debtor ignores attempts at communicationand evades their obligations and responsibilities.
Duration of legal recovery
This recovery procedure takes up to 6 months. In exceptional cases, for example, where it is impossible to serve the procedural court documents to a debtor or where the debtor raises objections against the claim lodged, legal recovery may take a longer period of time.
Information on the transfer of the debt matters to a court, termination of the agreement with the debtor, etc., will be provided to investors by e-mail. Following the award of the debt and transfer of a debtor to the judicial officers, this information will also become available in the investor’s personal account – such loans are marked in red.
The legal recovery procedure is organised and its costs are borne by „NordStreet“.
Investment may be requested, i.e. applied for, by any legal entity. When selecting the projects, we assess the creditworthiness of their owners and companies, and the project’s business plan; we also try to ensure that the LTV (Loan-to-Value) indicator does not exceed 75 percent.
The „NordStreet“ crowdfunding platform allows funding of promising RE projects with a loan period from 1 to 36 months and an LTV (Loan-to-Value) indicator no higher than 75 percent.
At this time, only legal entities, i.e. companies, may apply for RE investment via the „NordStreet“ crowdfunding platform.
The amount required for the project can be collected within 2 weeks or sooner, depending on the attractiveness of your project to the investors.
The project will not be funded and the funds allocated will remain in the investors’ accounts.
The collected investments will be transferred to the project owner’s account after the documents on the guarantees of performance obligations (pledge of property, etc.) have been provided.
The investment repayment period and other loan conditions are confirmed by a mutually concluded agreement. The investments may be repaid upon expiration of at least one half of the loan period; meanwhile, penalty charges will be imposed on delayed payments. In any event, for individual changes of the payment schedule or other conditions of the agreement, please contact us personally at info@nordstreet.com.
The Borrower undertakes to use the Loan amount exclusively for the purpose of using the Loan, which is specified in the Special Conditions. Upon receipt of the Operator's written request, the Borrower undertakes to immediately provide the Operator with the requested information and documents justifying the use of the Loan amount.
We invite you to get acquainted with the "General Terms and Conditions of the Loan Agreement".
If you cannot repay the loan at this moment, but you are willing to cooperate and find a solution, please contact us, and we will discuss the refinancing of the loan (at mid-term) or the possibility to postpone payment of interest. Otherwise, „NordStreet“ will be forced to initiate subrogation and sale of pledged property in order to repay the funds to the investors.
