P2P Lending
Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending is a method where individuals lend money directly to other individuals or businesses through RBI-regulated online platforms, bypassing traditional banks.
How P2P investment generally works
- Online matching: Savers sign up on an RBI-regulated digital P2P platform that connects them with borrowers seeking short-term loans.
- Credit checks: The platform reviews each borrower's background and assigns a risk grade and interest rate.
- Fund spreading: Lenders can split money across many small loans to help manage concentration risk.
- Repayment: Borrowers make monthly principal-and-interest payments back through the platform.
Risk note: P2P lending carries borrower default risk. Returns depend on the credit
quality of the underlying borrowers and are not guaranteed by MoneyGrow or by the lending platform.
