Marketplace Lending, Financial Analysis, and the Future of Credit explains why established financial credit institutions and banks need to step up innovation within the financial technology arena. At the same time, platforms in marketplace lending—synonymous with peer-to-peer lending or crowd lending—need to further improve the transparency, analytics and risk management tools for investors to guarantee the safety and sustainability of the sector. The book offers ways for FinTech lenders to analyze and mitigate financial risks of marketplace loans and provide robust analytics to institutional and private investors with exposure to marketplace loans.
Marketplace lenders are steadily growing within the financial market and are predicted to hold $1 trillion of the sector by 2025. Integrating marketplace lending into established credit institutions could strengthen the financial sector as a whole and could lead to the incorporation of stronger risk and profitability management strategies. Marketplace Lending, Financial Analysis, and the Future of Credit is a critical text that bridges the gap in understanding between financial technology entrepreneurs and established credit institutions.
The book encompasses printed guidance and digital ancillaries for those investing in marketplace loans, those working in FinTech startups, those in charge of innovation in established credit institutions, and market regulators. Readers access a framework for applying innovative strategies in lending and credit services and stress test and analyze portfolios comprising marketplace loans.
