It seems everyone is using different metrics nowadays to calculate who is the largest - money ever lent, outstanding balances, last 12 months, last week, etc. Personally I'm glad the whole sector is growing strongly together. Another method of judging who is the largest is to segment it by actual Peer in the P2P, as in individuals lending rather than platforms acting as channels for larger institutions to implement money at acceptable yields. It's clear some platforms have had a strong injection of adrenalin. As noted on the RateSetter platform and blogs currently 97-98% of our money is individuals or small businesses such as sole traders (this could change, but is true right now). This interesting AltFi.com breakfast blog shows just how much money on the other major platforms is not P2P in the truest original sense: www.altfi.com/article/1140_key_talking_points_from_p2p_ceo_breakfast? > Funding Circle – 30% institutionally funded. > LendInvest – 70% institutionally funded. > MarketInvoice – 45% institutional, 55% high net worth, no retail. > Zopa – 30%-40% institutionally funded in the past couple of months Just saying.... westonkevRSlink.ratesetter.com/8Ls46js www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=19236219
