Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Lending Global Market Report 2024

Peer-to-peer lending (P2P) is a lending method in which money is directly lent to individuals or businesses without the involvement of traditional financial institutions as intermediaries. P2P lending typically occurs through online platforms that connect potential borrowers with lenders. This approach facilitates a direct connection between investors seeking higher returns on their investments and verified borrowers in search of unsecured personal loans.

The main types of loans in peer-to-peer (P2P) lending encompass consumer credit loans, small business loans, student loans, and real estate loans. The traditional lending model refers to a conventional method of conducting transactions for the purchase or sale of goods and services directly between individuals, without utilizing the internet. It represents an older business style characterized by direct interaction between sellers and buyers, conducted through face-to-face communication, telephone lines, or mail systems. There are two primary business models in this context including traditional lending and alternate marketplace lending, both serving end-users such as businesses and individuals.
