Download or read book Marketplace Lending and Credit Unions written by Indi Omar Madar and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peer-to-peer (P2P) or marketplace lending has expanded rapidly since the 2008 global financial crisis. While the idea of pooling small amounts of money from several lenders is not new, advances in financial technology (fintech) have resulted in scalable, efficient, and global processes. Since Zopa (the world's first P2P lending platform, launched in 2005), the lending has increasingly shifted away from individual lenders working collaboratively to assess loans, and now includes automated decision-making algorithms with institutional lenders such as hedge funds and banks. Consequently, marketplace lending threatens to disrupt many activities of the financial sector. Although the industry has experienced significant growth in the UK and the USA, it is only recently, in 2016, that some Canadian regulations implemented new crowdfunding rules; these include allowing retail lenders to invest up to $10,000 annually. Similar to chartered national banks, Canada's sub-national credit unions might feel challenged by emerging fintech firms. As such, through the resource-based view (RBV) of strategic alliances, this thesis sought to answer the question, How are Canadian credit unions entering the marketplace lending industry? The study employed an exploratory, qualitative design where semistructured interviews were conducted with 17 participants from 12 credit unions (including one credit union central) of the Canadian Credit Union Association (CCUA), but outside of Quebec's Desjardins system of caisses populaires. In these interviews, three areas of prominent credit union business are explored: the use of marketplace lending for small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) financing; impact investing; and the use of marketplace lending in providing alternatives to payday loan products. The study's findings revealed that out of the 12 credit union members from the sample, three have partnered with fintech firms, one is developing its own lending platform, and the majority are simply monitoring the evolution of marketplace lending in Canada. Regarding the latter, perceived risks and/or barriers include regulations, reputational risk, and difficulty attracting deposits. However, reported opportunities include using marketplace lending to enhance member retention and attraction, and lending to socially and environmentally motivated SMEs. This thesis contributes to the academic literature by providing evidence as to how Canadian credit unions are entering the marketplace lending industry. It details the reported barriers and/or risks and opportunities, and the motivating drivers to form strategic alliances with start-up fintech firms.

Download or read book Moving Forward written by Nicolas P. Retsinas and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brookings Institution Press and Harvard University Joint Center for Housing Studies publication The recent collapse of the mortgage market revealed fractures in the credit market that have deep roots in the system's structure, conduct, and regulation. The time has come for a clear-eyed assessment of what happened and how the system should be strengthened and restructured. Such reform will have a profound and lasting impact on the capacity of Americans to use credit to build assets and finance consumption. Moving Forward explores what caused the crisis and, more important, focuses on the path ahead. The challenge remains the same as ever: protect consumers, ensure fairness, and guarantee soundness of the financial system without stifling innovation and overly restricting access to credit and consumer choice. Nicolas Retsinas, Eric Belsky, and their colleagues aim to stimulate debate based on analysis of the opportunities and challenges presented by the various components of global capital markets: financial engineering, risk assessment and management, specialization of financial intermediation, and marketing methods. The contributors—leaders in business, government, academia, and the nonprofit sector—discuss new research and ideas about the future of credit markets, including how improvements might be shaped by industry leaders.

Download or read book The Future of High Cost Credit written by Jodi Gardner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-14 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a new way of thinking about the controversial and complex challenges associated with the regulation of high-cost credit, specifically payday lending. These products have received significant attention in both the media and political arena. The inadequacy of regulatory interventions has created ongoing problems with the provision of high-cost credit, particularly for consumers with lesser bargaining power and who are already financially vulnerable. The book tackles two specific gaps in the existing literature. The first involves inadequate analysis of the relevant philosophical concepts around high-cost credit, which can result in an over-simplification of what are particularly complex issues. The second is a lack of engagement in both the market and lived experience of borrowers, resulting in limited understanding of those who use these financial products. The Future of High-Cost Credit explores the theoretical grounding, policy initiatives and interdisciplinary perspectives associated with high-cost credit, making a novel and insightful contribution to the existing literature. The problems with debt extend far beyond the legal sphere, and the book will therefore be of interest to many other academic disciplines, as well as for those working in public policy and 'the third sector'.

Download or read book Technology the Nature of Information and Fintech Marketplace Lending written by J. Christina Wang and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The retail lending landscape has changed considerably over the past two decades, the most recent example being the rapid growth of online, or FinTech, lending to consumers and small businesses. This paper discusses how the boundary of the firm in the retail lending market is affected by advances in information technology that have turned what was previously soft information on borrower credit risk into encoded hard data that can be precisely transmitted across firms at a very low cost. The ability to collect and process information has become the critical resource for lending decisions, enabling entities with an advantage in producing information, such as technology firms, to compete in traditional retail lending activities. Efficiency can also be gained by relying more on hard data and firm specialization in a credit supply chain. Whether these changes favor hierarchical large banks or small start-up firms depends on their relative funding cost. In the aftermath of the financial crisis, an increase in banksâ€TM capital costs due to enhanced regulation is likely an important factor behind the faster growth of the new FinTech entrants. The need for funding to make loans means that the socially desirable objective of avoiding excessive credit contraction during economic downturns is better served in the current system by traditional banks, owing to their access to deposit insurance and the liquidity provided by the Federal Reserve. In sum, for the foreseeable future, banks will coexist as well as partner with FinTech lenders in the retail lending market. Banksâ€TM market share in loans to consumers and small businesses will likely fluctuate countercyclically.

Download or read book The Performance of Marketplace Lenders written by Roman Kräussl and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze the performance of marketplace lending using loan cash flow data from the largest platform, Lending Club. We find substantial risk-adjusted performance of about 40 basis points per month for the entire loan portfolio. Other loan portfolios grouped by risk category have similar risk-adjusted performance. We show that characteristics of the local bank sector for each loan, such as concentration of deposits and the presence of national banks, are related to the performance of loans. Thus, marketplace lending has the potential to finance a growing share of the consumer credit market in the absence of a competitive response from the traditional incumbents.

Download or read book Consumer Credit and the American Economy written by Thomas A. Durkin and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumer Credit and the American Economy examines the economics, behavioral science, sociology, history, institutions, law, and regulation of consumer credit in the United States. After discussing the origins and various kinds of consumer credit available in today's marketplace, this book reviews at some length the long run growth of consumer credit to explore the widely held belief that somehow consumer credit has risen "too fast for too long." It then turns to demand and supply with chapters discussing neoclassical theories of demand, new behavioral economics, and evidence on production costs and why consumer credit might seem expensive compared to some other kinds of credit like government finance. This discussion includes review of the economics of risk management and funding sources, as well discussion of the economic theory of why some people might be limited in their credit search, the phenomenon of credit rationing. This examination includes review of issues of risk management through mathematical methods of borrower screening known as credit scoring and financial market sources of funding for offerings of consumer credit. The book then discusses technological change in credit granting. It examines how modern automated information systems called credit reporting agencies, or more popularly "credit bureaus," reduce the costs of information acquisition and permit greater credit availability at less cost. This discussion is followed by examination of the logical offspring of technology, the ubiquitous credit card that permits consumers access to both payments and credit services worldwide virtually instantly. After a chapter on institutions that have arisen to supply credit to individuals for whom mainstream credit is often unavailable, including "payday loans" and other small dollar sources of loans, discussion turns to legal structure and the regulation of consumer credit. There are separate chapters on the theories behind the two main thrusts of federal regulation to this point, fairness for all and financial disclosure. Following these chapters, there is another on state regulation that has long focused on marketplace access and pricing. Before a final concluding chapter, another chapter focuses on two noncredit marketplace products that are closely related to credit. The first of them, debt protection including credit insurance and other forms of credit protection, is economically a complement. The second product, consumer leasing, is a substitute for credit use in many situations, especially involving acquisition of automobiles. This chapter is followed by a full review of consumer bankruptcy, what happens in the worst of cases when consumers find themselves unable to repay their loans. Because of the importance of consumer credit in consumers' financial affairs, the intended audience includes anyone interested in these issues, not only specialists who spend much of their time focused on them. For this reason, the authors have carefully avoided academic jargon and the mathematics that is the modern language of economics. It also examines the psychological, sociological, historical, and especially legal traditions that go into fully understanding what has led to the demand for consumer credit and to what the markets and institutions that provide these products have become today.
