Abstract
Online lending—also known as peer-to-peer lending , person-to-person lending , peer-to-peer investing , social lending or P2P lending —is generally defined as the practice of lending funds to unrelated individuals (‘peers’) without going through a traditional financial intermediary such as a commercial bank. This lending takes place online through various lending platforms and credit checking tools developed to P2P lending companies.
