IS P2P LENDING AND INVESTMENT PLATFORM A SCAM???
What is Peer-to-Peer Lending (P2P Lending)?
Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending is a fintech product that regulated by Securities Commission (SC) and possesses a huge potential to address the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) business loan financing gap in Malaysia. Together with Equity Crowdfunding (ECF), they represent a need for more alternatives in an industry that has so long been dominated by banks. Since Securities Commission (SC) opened the P2P lending license for bidding in May, it received more than 50 applications.
How does it work?
P2P lending platform connects companies seeking for fund with investors who have available cash for investment. In essence, it works like a normal business loan. Borrowers will issue “investment notes” (hence they are also called “issuers”) and make monthly installments that include principal repayment and interest charges to investors. Charges for the services provided by P2P operators may vary across different platforms.
Contrary to how overseas P2P lending platform is operated, if you are an individual seeking for funds for personal causes, the P2P lending platform in Malaysia will not be a place that serves your purpose.
Many investors begin to diversify their investment portfolios to include P2P lending as an alternative investment due to its investment tenor, lucrative returns and low entry requirement.

What happens if an issuer defaults on their repayments?
