Podcasts about chinese p2p

Welcome to episode 2 of the Tearsheet Lending Podcast with your hosts Zack Miller and Dan Pelberg. This week on the show, we talk about crypto lending and what the industry needs to do to grow up. Dan wrote a thoughtful article about the crypto lending space this week: https://tearsheet.co/blockchain-crypto/crypto-lending-must-move-beyond-speculation-to-become-a-viable-industry/ As Dan spoke with a lot of the players, it became clear that they primarily target speculators now and that there are a few things that will need to happen for this to become a serious industry. We talk about SoFi's expansion into investing. As growth levels off, a lot of lenders that began as monoline are expanding into other products. SoFi plans to introduce stock and ETF investing on its platform. Will people come for loans and stay to invest? Not sure. Dan and Zack turn to the race for speedy digital mortgage closings. LoanDepot introduced an eight day digital closing product this week. Chase publicly committed to a 21 day closing on its offline mortgage products with a “Closing Guarantee” that will pay customers $1000 if the bank misses the closing window. This guarantee is only available to customers that use other Chase products, so it's less about tech and more about cross-selling and tiered service delivery. Lastly, Dan and Zack discuss the Chinese P2P lending market which grew unfettered to over 6000 lending platforms. Fraud and mismanagement were rife and the government is now cracking down, closing down many of the platforms, seizing assets and prosecuting people. What does this say about the future of crowdlending in China and in general?

For a discussion on the developing crisis in the Chinese Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending space, we welcomed back Expert Series regular Martin Chorzempa of the Peterson Institute. In this conversation, Martin outlines a few scary scenarios for the future of the business which has seen total loans fall by about 25% to RMB 900bn in the last 3 months as the industry has come to a standstill. He discusses the current crisis and underlying causes, the inadequate regulatory response and the outlook for industry.

Dave and Jame discuss a fintech startup that is leveraging the technology of Chinese P2P company Dianrong to bring U.S. consumer loans to Asian investors.

Establishing Investor Trust & Confidence in Chinese P2P at LendIt USA 2016

A Mobile Approach to Online Lending panel at LendIt USA 2015 with Itzik Cohen, of Prosper Marketplace; Sun Lei, of 9F Bank; Greg Symons, of SocietyOne; and moderator Melissa Guzy, of Arbor Ventures. The panelists talk about the phenomenon that online lending is becoming a disruptive innovation and one that deserves serious consideration from varied stakeholders. Moreover, the rapidity and convenience of online lending means that price is no longer the decisive factor in choosing a lender. The ability to get a quick decision and apply for a loan at any time or anyplace trumps price. Moreover, a mobile approach usually is viewed as a marketing campaign tool for Chinese P2P companies. Furthermore, they are discussing about the threat of this new approach to the whole industry.
