Online lending, mbth is Internet lending, and p2p online lending is the abbreviation of online lending, including personal peer-to-peer lending and commercial peer-to-peer lending. P2P online lending refers to direct lending between individuals through the Internet platform. It is a sub-category of the Internet finance (ITFIN) industry. In 20 12, the number of online lending platforms in China increased rapidly, with about 350 active platforms so far, and the total number reached 3,054 by the end of April 20 15.
Mode of operation
P2P mode
Internet credit originated in Britain, and then developed to the United States, Germany and other countries. Its typical model is: Internet credit companies provide a platform for borrowers and borrowers to bid freely and reach a deal.
In the traditional P2P model, the online lending platform only provides services such as information exchange and information value appraisal that are conducive to the completion of transactions, and does not substantially participate in the interest chain of lending. There is a direct creditor-debtor relationship between borrowers and lenders, and the online lending platform maintains its operation by charging certain fees to borrowers and lenders. In China, because the citizen credit system is not standardized, it is difficult for the traditional P2P model to protect the interests of investors. Once overdue, investors will lose everything.
Therefore, in the continuous exploration and practice of P2P online lending, it is suggested that friends and relatives should be introduced into credit loans for joint guarantee, and mortgages or pledges should be introduced into other loans for counter-guarantee. At the same time, the enterprise loan project introduces a third-party financing guarantee company to audit and guarantee the project principal and interest, and requires that its guarantee scale should match the guarantor's guarantee amount, and the guarantor should also strengthen its own risk control management. Online lending, also known as P2P online lending. P2P is the abbreviation of English peer to peer, which means "person to person".
Transfer mode of creditor's rights
The creditor's rights transfer model can better connect the borrower's capital demand with the investor's capital demand, and actively carry out business in batches, rather than passively waiting for their respective matching, thus achieving rapid expansion of scale. It is closely related to the target customer groups of microfinance that the development of Internet in China has not yet spread. Almost all online lending platforms established since 20 12 are creditor's rights transfer models.
Because of the extension of credit chain and the high correlation between institutions and professional lenders, the P2P online loan form of creditor's rights transfer has been questioned. Many traditional P2P institutions think that this is "not P2P, and the risk will affect the P2P industry".
