Peer-to-Peer Lending Market |
Peer-to-peer lending, also known as P2P lending, is the practise of lending money to individuals or businesses via online services that connect lenders and borrowers. Peer-to-peer lending companies frequently provide their services online, with the goal of operating with lower overhead and providing their services at a lower cost than traditional financial institutions. As a result, lenders can earn higher returns than banks' savings and investment products, while borrowers can borrow money at lower interest rates, even after the P2P lending company charges a fee for providing the match-making platform and credit checking the borrower. Borrowers who use peer-to-peer lending websites run the risk of defaulting on their loans.
According To Coherent Market Insights " The global Peer-to-Peer Lending Market was accounted for US$ 124.9 Billion in terms of value in 2019 and is expected to grow at CAGR of 48.2% for the period 2019-2027."
Peer-to-peer lending motivates supporters of a charity or non-profit organisation to raise funds on their own. It's a kind of crowdfunding subcategory. Rather than having a single main crowdfunding page where everyone donates, people can have multiple individual fundraising pages with peer-to-peer fundraising, which they will share with their own networks.
Many peer-to-peer loans, also known as crowdlending, are unsecured personal loans, though some of the largest amounts are lent to businesses. Secured loans are sometimes made available by using luxury assets as collateral, such as jewellery, watches, vintage cars, fine art, buildings, aircraft, and other business assets. They are given to an individual, a business, or a charity. Student loans, commercial and real estate loans, payday loans, secured business loans, leasing, and factoring are all examples of peer-to-peer lending.
Interest rates can be set by lenders competing for the lowest rate using the reverse auction model, or they can be set by the intermediary company based on an analysis of the borrower's credit. Normally, the lender's investment in the loan is not protected by a government guarantee. On some services, lenders reduce the risk of bad debt by selecting which borrowers to lend to, and they reduce total risk by diversifying their investments across borrowers.
