This is a study of the marketplace lending business in the U.S.
Marketplace lending (used to be called peer-to-peer or P2P lending earlier) is growing at a scorching pace in some lending segments, which traditional lenders might have all but abandoned. It represents technology-led disruption in the personal and small business lending space. What started life as 'borrowing from friends, family and peers' has turned into a broader 'marketplace' model, and might be on the cusp of becoming a mainstream lending channel in the next few years.
It is getting increasing attention (and investments) from established institutional financial players.
This study intends to provide an overview of what the marketplace lending business is all about. It takes a deep dive into the structurals - products, customers, regulations, platform models and who is investing in this space. It also lists the key success factors in this business, and tries to gaze into the future of what might be in store for this business in the coming few years.
