The estimates of a consulting company PwC show that the P2P lending industry is growing at a great speed and will reach $150 billion by 2025. In this blog, we will discuss how can you get a share of this rapidly growing market by building your own peer-to-peer lending platform.

What is P2P lending? 

This is nothing but a money lending mechanism in which the creditors and borrowers or individuals or companies participate together. This process is carried out without the participation of intermediaries like banks, credit brokers and any other traditional financial institutions. So, how are these relationships between creditors and borrowers built? Here, the P2P platforms come into the picture.

As there are no intermediaries, the interest rates are lower and the investor’s profit is greater. Basically, maintaining a bank becomes an expensive task. It needs renting premises, staff, computer equipment and other things following safety rules. 

Now, if you multiply these by numerous branches, you will come to know why the credit rate is more than 10% whereas the deposit rate is as less as -2% in the bank. You should know it swallows all the profits. 

However, Peer-to-peer lendings do not need any banking cost or real estate thing. It is also free from expensive equipment, So, the loan rate is more and the investor is benefitted with the profits.

Working of P2P platform is simple:

• People registering on the P2P platform are either the borrowers or lenders – investors.
• The borrower simply submits an application for the loan, he specifies the amount in the same. He also needs to enter the term of loan and information about himself. 
• Your P2P lending platform checks out the risk and credit rating of the borrower to determine if the loan can be granted. It also sets an interest rate according to the term of the loan. This can be done either by oracles or special algorithms. 
• The application sums up the pool that lenders can see. 
• If the terms and conditions suit any of the lenders, a loan agreement is made.

The only problem with such a P2P lending platform is the platform itself. Why? Well, the customers are attracted to an app that is comfortable, reliable, secure and supports local languages. Not everyone is able to build a platform that is desirable by all.
