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.
