Marketplace lending opportunities

A force of change in lending

What is Marketplace lending?
Marketplace lending also known as peer-to-peer lending, abbreviated P2PL, is the practice of lending money to individuals or businesses ("peers"), without going through a bank or other traditional financial institution. This takes place online using various lending platforms and credit assessment tools.

How does it work?
Marketplace lending platforms leverage online data and technology to quickly assess risk, determine a credit rating and assign appropriate interest rates to the borrower. Qualified applicants easily receive offers in just minutes. The online process lowers the cost of credit, generating lower rates for borrowers and solid returns for investors.

How risky is it?
In an economic downturn, the default risk of loans increases. Historically, prime loans demonstrated resilience when compared with other asset classes, including equities, corporate bonds and real estate.
