In this episode, I speak with fintech pioneer, Diego Rojas. He has been at the cutting edge of fintech across the globe. Diego is from Argentina and started coding when he was 8 years old. He joined LendingClub in its very early days in 2011 and then moved to DianRong, another pioneer in fintech in China. He founded a fintech consulting firm called LEAP FINTECH based in Singapore in 2017 before founding open finance company, Finantier, in 2020. This episode was recorded toward the end of 2022 when Diego was CEO of Finantier, so we spend some time talking about Finantier's business. Today, however, Diego is working on some exciting new fintech projects, which we'll hopefully hear about in the coming weeks. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy this episode of the Green Room!
China’s online peer-to-peer lending industry has been in turmoil for the last three years as financial regulators have clamped down as part of “de-risking” efforts. Tuandai.com, a top P2P lender, collapsed in March due to turnover problems. As of February, the platform had more than 220,000 investors with RMB 14.5 billion ($2.15 billion) in outstanding loans. The company is under investigation for illegal fundraising, leading to the arrest of 41 people so far, including co-owners Tang Jun and Zhang Lin. This week, Andrew Polk, partner at Trivium China, joins us to discuss what's happening with the P2P lending industry in China. Key questions: What role has the government played in the growth and death of P2P lending? How is the crackdown on cryptocurrency different from the tightening regulations around P2P lending? Are P2P companies really tech companies, as many claim? Can we expect companies like Dianrong to survive this round of government scrutiny?
