P2P lending platforms have a 400–425 basis point advantage over traditional banks in loan origination. Retention of customers who have used a P2P platform before is high, with 75% saying they would approach one again when seeking a loan. Fractional lending and alternative credit risk assessments allow platforms to reduce exposure to default and asses risk more accurately than banks. The domination of institutional investors does pose a risk to the sustainability of some P2P platforms.

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.
