Description

Peer-to-peer lending platforms establish a direct connection between borrowers and lenders, taking charge of setting interest rates and loan terms while facilitating the entire transaction process. These platforms typically offer a broad spectrum of interest rates, contingent upon the creditworthiness of the borrower.Initially, an investor initiates an account on the platform, depositing a specified sum of money earmarked for loan disbursement. The loan applicant, on the other hand, presents their financial profile, which is then categorized based on risk. This risk classification dictates the interest rate the applicant will be required to pay. The applicant is given the opportunity to evaluate and accept one or multiple loan offers if they choose to divide their funding request. The platform handles both the transfer of funds and the ensuing monthly payments, with the process capable of being entirely automated or left open for negotiation between lenders and borrowers.
