Online lending is different from financial institutions. Financial institutions are managed by "net capital". Banks and trust companies must have their own registered capital, ranging from several hundred million to more than one billion or even billions. Moreover, registered capital is not used for doing business, but a guarantee and a "threshold".
The inherent capital of online lending platform is small, so it can't undertake large amount of guarantee. Once there is a large loan problem, it is difficult to solve it. Moreover, some borrowers also make loans for the purpose of fraudulent loans, while the founders of the loan platform have some ulterior motives, and cases of absconding with money also occur frequently.
