This concept helps borrowers in need of money connect with lenders from across India to crowdfund their loans. The returns are attractive enough for lenders to invest small amounts of money across multiple borrowers. Borrower details are thoroughly checked by the P2P lending platform and a credit assessment is performed and the profile presented to the lenders. P2P lending through online platforms started off as an idea in the US a decade back and is now gaining popularity in India.

Peer to Peer Lending aims to formalize this route by turning it into a valid investment option for any person with spare funds. It gives borrowers a way to fund their requirement for personal loans or business loans by opening a large P2P Lender group not confined just to their friends or peer group. Online peer to peer lending is a great alternative, if you have spare funds, to earn more than traditional investment options like Fixed Deposits, Mutual Funds etc with a little more risk.
