What is P2P?
Peer-to-peer lending, is the practice of lending money to
individuals or businesses through online services that
match lenders directly with borrowers.
Is a method of debt financing that enables individuals to
borrow and lend money - without the use of an official
financial institution as an intermediary.
P2P loans give borrowers access to financing that they
may not have otherwise gotten approval for by standard
financial intermediaries

In short words P2P is the large scale lending of money between people online.
An individual lending money to another (usually) through an online platform that moderates the process. Instead of putting money in a bank you are lending money directly to borrowers. Often this means a higher rate of return than offered by traditional savings accounts.
The Peer-to-Peer lending industry is seeing significant growth, especially in developed countries with strong financial markets
