Market Introduction:

Peer-to-peer lending is a financial service that enables individuals to lend or borrow money from one another without going through a bank. P2P lending websites allow investors and borrowers to communicate directly. The website facilitates transactions and establishes the conditions and pricing. An online application is submitted by a prospective borrower who wants to use the peer-to-peer lending network. The platform evaluates the application and establishes the applicant's credit score and risk level. After that, the right interest rate is assigned to the application. Interested investors can choose the applicant they would like to fund. Unlike other lending platforms or investment options, peer-to-peer lending increases profits for investors. Other benefits include reduced interest rates, more lending prospects, enhanced control and transparency. There is a decrease in default risk, convenience, and accessibility. There is also a greater diversity of financial systems. Peer-to-peer lending opens up more options or avenues. It offers an easily accessible funding source for startups or budding entrepreneurs who find it difficult to acquire funding through traditional channels. Peer-to-peer lending can be a cost-effective financing solution as it offers flexibility about loan quantity and repayment alternatives. It offers a customized experience for investors and lenders according to their ability, needs and other requirements. Putting money into peer-to-peer lending can reduce risk and diversify investors' holdings.

Market Dynamics:

Drivers

The rising awareness about peer-to-peer lending – the lack of financing options through conventional money systems like banks has encouraged borrowers, investors and other stakeholders to look for other avenues to facilitate lending and borrowing outside these conventional systems. The need for a simplified, transparent, easy, quick, safe and reliable lending system outside of commercial banks has increased the popularity of peer-to-peer lending platforms. Central banks, commercial banks, government institutions, regulatory bodies, fintech platforms and other relevant parties are collaborating to improve the peer-to-peer lending market's ecosystem. Therefore, the rising awareness about peer-to-peer lending will propel the market's growth.

  • Amartha, an ID FinTech company that runs a peer-to-peer lending network in Indonesia, has successfully raised $100 million from Community Investment Management (CIM), a well-known debt lender in the US. This is a major turning point for the FinTech platform in Indonesia. Examining Amartha's operations, the company presents a novel solution in the shape of a platform for peer-to-peer lending. The recently raised money is intended to support working capital loans to Indonesian Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSMEs). Amartha's track record demonstrates their commitment to growing these companies.
Restraints:

The high-interest rates of borrowing peer-to-peer lending is more accessible than banks, given the reduced need for proper documentation or procedures for acquiring capital. Thereby, it often involves more risk on the part of the investors as these investments or lending prospects are not volatile, riskier and more vulnerable to failure. Most borrowers turn to peer-to-peer lending after trying traditional routes such as banking, which means there is added risk to lending to these borrowers, which is transferred to investors in the P2P market. Therefore, investors charge a higher interest rate on borrowing, given the increased risk of lending or defaulting on the part of borrowers.

Opportunities:

Growing political will and regulatory approval to streamline peer-to-peer lending the increasing number of micro, small and medium enterprises are driving major developing economies and contributing to the GDP growth and overall national development of countries. However, these small businesses often find it difficult to find funding through proper channels like commercial banks. Therefore, government institutions are contributing towards building a favourable lending ecosystem that could facilitate MSMEs to acquire capital from interested and willing investors without going through banks and their procedures. Therefore, favourable government regulation will propel the market's growth during the forecast period.

  • Amlyze has been chosen by Lithuanian peer-to-peer (P2P) lending and crowdfunding platform Savy as its main supplier of compliance solutions.
