Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending allows individuals to borrow and lend money directly to one another without involving banks or other financial institutions. This practice is also referred to as crowdlending. The P2P lending market has grown due to several driving factors. These include increased access to capital for borrowers at potentially lower interest rates, higher potential returns for lenders, and greater transparency in the lending process facilitated by online platforms. Additionally, technological advancements have improved the efficiency of matching borrowers with lenders, and there is an increasing demand for alternative financing options compared to traditional banking institutions, all contributing to market expansion and wider adoption. However, the P2P lending market also faces several challenges. Borrowers may default on their loans, which can result in negative returns for investors and diminish trust in the P2P lending platform. There is also the risk of borrower fraud, which can further impact investors' returns and erode platform credibility. Unlike banks, P2P platforms may lack the resources necessary to recover debts. Additionally, in countries like India, credit scores may not be as reliable or robust.
