Compared to the non-investment crowdfunding model, crowdlending is the dominant model in the world. As of 2019, crowdlending accounted for more than 95% of the funds raised worldwide, with Asian countries – particularly China – in the lead. In early 2020, China had the largest volume of money-raising transactions from crowdfunding totalling more than 200 billion USD. However, given the industry’s potential growth in Asian countries, multiple issues with crowdfunding practices need to be resolved. Media coverage on crowdlending is increasingly widespread, as seen from how it has become a buzzword within the last few years. Media attention on crowdlending can help us understand media awareness, media framing, and public understanding of the topic. Further, there is a lack of information on distinct characteristics and decision making of crowdfunding investors in the field of investor behaviour. We analysed the news coverage on crowdlending in Asia spanning a ten-year period from 2009 to 2019. We also surveyed crowdlending investors to understand their behaviours when interacting with crowdlending platforms. Our analyses provide insights into the challenges and opportunities of the crowdlending industry in Asia. They also reveal crowdlending investors’ behaviour.

    How Financial Technologies Are Revolutionizing the Financial Industry

    HOW FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGIES ARE REVOLUTIONIZING THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY Lucie Duval Dissertation submitted as partial requirement for the conferral of Master in Finance Supervisor: António Freitas Miguel, Assistant Professor of Finance, Department of Finance, ISCTE Business School September 2016 NIZING THE THE FINANCIAL NIZING INDUSTRY Lucie Duval LOGIES ARE LOGIESREVOLUTIO ARE HOW FINANCIALTECHNO Abstract Financial technologies (fintech) have known an incredible exposure over the last years, attracting investments of large billions of dollars. Fintech can be seen as the match between finance and technology and they are imposing a way of thinking in all the branches of the financial industry. The main aim of this dissertation is to study how the financial technologies are revolutionizing the financial industry. After the financial crisis of 2008, customers have changed their ways of seeing “Finance” and, more particularly, “Banks”, looking for products and services responding to their needs. Moreover, the financial crisis has highlighted a relevant number of dysfunctions of the banking sector and on the financial regulation. Regulators have strengthened their requirements for banks, particularly in their relations with clients. These have opened a breach for Fintech companies and they are using it. Fintech companies rely on a different value proposition to clients that is based on a timesaving, fast and clear experience. Indeed they are proposing majors innovation in products and also in the processes. Fintech companies have put the customer back at the center of all their attention; customer becomes again the top priority. Financial technologies have already revolutionized the finance industry even if their impact on the market, for the moment may still be seen as trivial.
  • Investigating the Application of Banking Regulation to Online Peer-To-Peer Lending Platforms in South Africa to Counter Systemic Risk

    Investigating the Application of Banking Regulation to Online Peer-To-Peer Lending Platforms in South Africa to Counter Systemic Risk

    Investigating the application of banking regulation to online peer-to-peer lending platforms in South Africa to counter systemic risk Tamarin Angela Floyd Student number 16391871 A research project submitted to the Gordon Institute of Business Science, University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Business Administration. 6 November 2017 i © University of Pretoria ABSTRACT The behaviour and activities of online peer-to-peer lending platforms have evolved in different ways across jurisdictions, not fitting neatly within existing financial regulatory frameworks. Together with the growth momentum of the industry and the cases where losses were suffered, this culminated in a call to regulate peer-to-peer lending platforms adequately. The research presents an analysis of online peer-to-peer lending platforms through the lens of banking theory, questioning whether peer-to-peer platforms are behaving like banks and whether they pose systemic risk. These research questions feed into the ultimate research problem: whether online peer-to-peer lending platforms should be regulated like banks with respect to liquidity and capital requirements. Liquidity and capital requirements were designed to stem systemic risk in financial systems and have been praised as effective tools. Qualitative exploratory research was undertaken with 18 experts in the field. Key findings included that the presence of systemic risk is contingent on the operating structure and legal implications of the peer-to-peer platform. In certain cases, systemic risk could be present and as such liquidity and capital requirements should apply. The scope of the research was restricted to the South African financial system due to the unique nuances of its regulatory framework.

    Proptech 3.0: the Future of Real Estate

    University of Oxford Research PropTech 3.0: the future of real estate PROPTECH 3.0: THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE WWW.SBS.OXFORD.EDU PROPTECH 3.0: THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE PropTech 3.0: the future of real estate Right now, thousands of extremely clever people backed by billions of dollars of often expert investment are working very hard to change the way real estate is traded, used and operated. It would be surprising, to say the least, if this burst of activity – let’s call it PropTech 2.0 - does not lead to some significant change. No doubt many PropTech firms will fail and a lot of money will be lost, but there will be some very successful survivors who will in time have a radical impact on what has been a slow-moving, conservative industry. How, and where, will this happen? Underlying this huge capitalist and social endeavour is a clash of generations. Many of the startups are driven by, and aimed at, millennials, but they often look to babyboomers for money - and sometimes for advice. PropTech 2.0 is also engineering a much-needed boost to property market diversity. Unlike many traditional real estate businesses, PropTech is attracting a diversified pool of talent that has a strong female component, representation from different regions of the world and entrepreneurs from a highly diverse career and education background. Given the difference in background between the establishment and the drivers of the PropTech wave, it is not surprising that there is some disagreement about the level of disruption that PropTech 2.0 will create.

    REGULATION OF CROWDLENDING IN THE EUROPEAN UNION Understanding the suitableness of EU legislation for crowdlending. Thesis – LL.M International Business Law Aleix Vidal Monés Tilburg University 2017/2018 Student name Aleix Vidal Monés Supervisor Gil-Lemstra, P. (LLM) SNR 233888 Date 2018 ABSTRACT This paper works about the added value of crowdlending as a source of funding, its characteristics opportunities, risks and regulatory implications for the European Union (EU). In concrete, the thesis’ research is mainly focused on discovering whether the European fragmented regulatory scenario it is an appropriate playground for the crowdlending sector development. The conclusions are clear. They point out that the current EU regulatory panorama does not fit the needs of the crowdlending sector. In this sense, legislative action from the EU institutions is required to turn the "state by state" based crowdlending sector into a common European industry.
