Simply put, P2P lending, or peer-to-peer lending is a way that connects people who need to borrow with the people who are willing to lend to these borrowers
Getting into details, it is a crowdfunding method that allows borrowers access to credit without a bank or a financial institution as an intermediary. Well, who does the lending then, you ask? The lenders are people who want to invest their money for a better rate of return than what the bank
typically offers for a plain savings account. So in essence, it is the same lending operation happening without the financial institution acting as an intermediary.
So the role of the financial intermediary isn’t eliminated but rather replaced by another entity known as the P2P platform. The RBI, in 2017, released the Master Directions for P2P platforms under which all P2P platforms have to be registered with the RBI and secure the NBFC-P2P license and also comply with a host of other conditions.
Typically, the P2P platforms function through an online platform that operates as a marketplace for borrowers and lenders to connect. All the necessary due diligence is carried out for both the parties before they are allowed to participate in any borrowing or lending activity.
P2P lending as an asset class is ideal for someone who is looking to diversify their investments into a non-market linked asset that gives attractive returns. P2P provides a recurring passive income stream and carries a moderate risk profile that is commensurate with the returns on offer
