Alternative lending market
Alternative lending market
Key highlights 1. European lending market
European online alternative lending market volumes have grown steadily year on year between 2013 and 2015 (73% average growth), and increased further by 23% between 2015 and 3Q 2016 reaching EUR 0.6 billion in funded loans as at 30 September 2016 (AltFi Data). The fastest growing segment during 2016 as reported by AltFi Data has been P2P Consumer lending, which grew by 26% between 2015 and 3Q 2016 (invoice trading showed even higher growth of 124%, but it has been significantly lower in absolute terms). The ultimate leader in the European online alternative finance scene is the pioneer of alternative online lending, the UK, with 4 times higher volumes than in the rest of Continental Europe in aggregate.
2. European alternative finance leaders (all segments) and alternative lending leaders
The top three countries in Continental Europe for overall online alternative finance market volume have been France, Germany and the Netherlands (Alternative Finance Study 2015 data), while AltFi Data show that 2015 leaders in alternative lending have been France, Germany and Sweden. Notably, in 2016 the picture has changed with Latvia breaking into the top 3 with the third largest volume of funded loans in 1Q-3Q 2016. The rise of smaller countries in alternative online lending is possible because country boundaries do not limit growth, and know-how of both investor attraction and lending can be applied across geographies. Although the key geographical market for European alternative online lending platforms is still Continental Europe, where they take up niches in both the subprime and prime unsecured lending segments, platforms also expand to other countries outside Europe. Given the example of the UK market development, Continental Europe expects further significant growth, as it now only makes up a minor part of the total unsecured lending in the region.
3. Alternative lending segments
P2P Consumer lending is the largest component of alternative online lending market with 72% of the total in 1Q-3Q 2016. While P2P Business lending has been showing significant growth rates between 2013 and 2015 it has not surpassed the P2P Consumer market by volume and has grown only by 1% between 2015 and 3Q 2016 (according to AltFi Data).
4. P2P Consumer lending
The P2P Consumer lending market grew from EUR 160 million to EUR 450 million between 2013 and 3Q 2106 and showed a 14% average quarterly growth rate between 1Q 2013 and 3Q 2016. Although the year 2015 did not report significant growth, the quarterly volume of loans funded has significantly increased in 2016, showing an average 25% quarterly growth rate.
5. P2P Consumer lending platforms
In terms of individual platforms, the top players in the P2P Consumer lending market are Younited Credit (France), Auxmoney (Germany) – the same leaders, as in 2015, followed by Mintos and Twino, both from Latvia. While France and Germany are represented by 1 leading P2P Consumer lending platform per country, in Latvia 2 online marketplaces – Twino and Mintos – share the market. The two market leaders from Latvia exceeded EUR 100 million in volume of funded loans during 1Q-3Q 2016, outgrowing Finnish players Fellow Finance and Fixura, as well as Estonian Bondora.

Alternative lending market
Introduction Background of alternative finance
Methodology and data sources
— Alternative finance that emerged outside of the traditional financial system has thrived since the global financial crisis and was driven by the digitalization process within the financial industry.
— In our analysis we refer to all alternative finance segments as “Alternative finance” and the lending segment of the industry as “Alternative lending”.
— The most developed alternative finance markets are the US, the UK and China. Despite that the European alternative lending industry is still in its early years, the volume of issued funds in 2015 increased to more than EUR 5 billion, with volume outside of the UK exceeding EUR 1 billion. — Alternative lending (a segment of alternative finance industry) has reached EUR 0.66 billion in 2015 according to the Alternative Finance Study 2015 (AltFi Data reported EUR 0.5 billion lending market for 2015). — The alternative finance industry in Europe may be split into:
In this report we focus on the alternative lending segment of the alternative finance industry
Peer-to-peer (P2P) Consumer lending
Individuals or institutional funders provide a loan to a consumer borrower
Peer-to-peer (P2P) Business lending
Individuals or institutional funders provide a loan to a business borrower
Invoice Trading
Individuals or institutional funders purchase invoices or receivable notes from a business at a discount
Equity-based crowdfunding
Individuals or institutional funders purchase equity issued by a company
Reward-based crowdfunding
Backers provide finance to individuals, projects or companies in exchange for non-monetary rewards or products
— For our analysis we use the following main data sources: - The dataset provided by AltFi Data on Liberum AltFi Volume Index Continental Europe (hereinafter “AltFi Data”) – used for detailed analysis of P2P Consumer lending and alternative lending trends in 2016; - 2nd Annual European Alternative Finance Industry Study Sustaining Momentum (hereinafter “Alternative Finance Study 2015”) – used for analysis of the overall alternative finance market during 2013-2015; — The dataset data from AltFi Data used in our analysis represent the volumes funded through online marketplaces by 3 lending segments: - peer-to-peer lending to individuals (P2P Consumer lending); - peer-to-peer lending to SMEs (P2P Business lending); and - volume figures for invoice financing platforms which represent invoices traded. — AltFi Data collects volume data from the 29 largest online platforms in 13 European countries (excl. UK) and estimates a market coverage of around 80-90%. The AltFi Data volume indices are based on public disclosure of data and therefore exclude certain platforms such as the German P2P lending platform Lendico whose European market coverage is estimated at around 10%. — We note that for P2P Consumer lending (on which we focus our analysis) total volumes funded in 2013-2015 do not differ materially from amounts reported in the Alternative Finance Study 2015. — The difference between presented data for volumes funded by P2P Business lending and Invoice trading in 2013-2015 by AltFi Data and the Alternative Finance Study 2015 might be material as AltFi Data cover mainly the larger platforms. In this report we therefore assume that AltFi Data objectively represents y-o-y development trends both for P2P Business lending and Invoice trading for major market players.

Key risks of alternative lending market Business risks
Regulatory risks
— As the volumes funded through the online platforms are increasing and the industry has outgrown the “start-up” level it is now being recognized as a distinct market for alternative lending. As the industry is evolving the platforms are accumulating industry and business risks that can make a significant impact on their future operations.
— As the online alternative lending industry is relatively young and significant increase of volume of loans funded has been seen only since 2014, there are weak or no local regulatory requirements applicable for the operations of online platforms. There are also no unified global regulations. So a number of countries undergo changes in regulation of alternative lending in order to control risks from investor and borrower perspectives.
— The main risks associated with the future growth of the alternative lending sector are: - Collapse of one or more well-known platforms due to malpractice; - Fraud involving one or more high-profile campaigns/deals/loans; - Cyber security breach; - Changes to regulations both at national and European level; - Notable increase in default rates/ business failure rates; and - Potential “crowding out” of retail investors as institutionalization accelerates. — In addition, since the industry is relatively young it has not yet proven whether and how it could survive an economic downturn.
— Although the direct impact of online lending to the traditional financial sector still has been very small, the industry volumes are measured in billions. This encourages policy makers and regulators to start defining limitations and implement complex rules in order to minimize the risks related to the following: - Consumer and data protection; - Investor/lender protection; - Application of accounting principles; - Competition principles; - Loan volumes, terms and interest rates; - Money laundering; - Solvency principles of online marketplaces, etc. — Alternative Finance Study 2015 revealed that more than 30% of EU alterative financing market players consider that there is a lack of existing regulation. At the same time, the fact of “relaxed” regulatory requirements has allowed online lending to develop worldwide. — It is expected that implementation of stricter policies and regulations may lead to a decrease in the growth rates of volumes funded through alternative financing. On the other hand, there is an alternative opinion that structured regulatory requirements might increase investors confidence that would lead to the increase in volumes of attracted capital.

P2P Consumer lending market in Latvia
Alternative lending outlook in Latvia Future development of alternative finance in Latvia
Risks and regulations
— P2P Consumer lending is expected to remain the leading alternative lending segment in Latvia in the near future.
— In Latvia the local regulator Financial and Capital Market Commission (FCMC) is developing a new regulation on alternative financing industry that is expected to be more detailed than in other European countries. The main intention of the regulator is to protect investors and ensure the sufficiency of capital in order to create the basis that will help the industry to develop. These are expected to be positive changes for Latvia based alternative lending platforms due to the greater opportunity to attract more investor money.
— P2P Business lending has growth potential, but it will take time for Latvia to accumulate know-how and start successfully compete in a P2P Business environment. — To expand operations and ensure future growth, the Latvian platforms are entering new markets in Continental Europe where banks are offering relatively high interest rates, e.g. Poland, Czech Republic, Spain, Italy and Scandinavian countries. In addition, the Russian market, after economic difficulties and weakening of banks, has become attractive for development of P2P lending industry.
— The main restrictions that are expected to be set by the regulator are: - minimum amount of share capital; - obligation to partially invest a company’s own money in issued loans; - requirements related to the management team.
