    Current State of Crowdfunding in Europe An Overview of the Crowdfunding Industry in more than 25 Countries: Trends, Volumes & Regulations 2016 Current State of Crowdfunding in Europe 2016 CrowdfundingHub is the European Expertise Centre for Alternative and Community Finance [email protected] www.crowdfundinghub.eu @CrowdfundingHub.eu Keizersgracht 264 1016 EV Amsterdam The Netherlands This report is made possible by the contribution of: Current State of Crowdfunding in Europe is a report based on research conducted by CrowdfundingHub in close cooperation with professionals from all over Europe. Revised versions of this report and updates of individual countries can be found at www.crowdfundingineurope.eu. Current State of Crowdfunding in Europe 2016 Foreword We started this research to get a structured view on the state of crowdfunding in Europe. With the support of more than 30 experts in Europe we collected information about the industry in 27 countries. One of the conclusions is that there is a wide variety of alternative finance instruments that is being offered through online platforms and also that the maturity of the alternative finance industry in a country can not just be measured by the volume of transactions on these platforms. During the process of the research therefore, the idea took root to develop an Alternative Finance Maturity Index. The index takes into account the volumes in the industry, the access to relevant and reliable data, the degree of organization of the industry, the presence and use of all the different forms of alternative finance and also the way governments are regulating the industry with rules that on one hand foster alternative finance but on the other hand also protect consumers and prevent excesses.

Midland Funding decision misapplied federal law and erroneously undermined the valid-when- made doctrine by holding that a loan originated by a bank may become usurious when sold to a nonbank. LendingClub supports the FDIC’s proposed rule and urges the FDIC to finalize it as soon as practicable. LendingClub is a founding member of the Marketplace Lending Association (MLA)2 and a member of the Structured Finance Association (SFA).3 Both of these industry associations have submitted comment letters in support of the FDIC’s proposal.4 LendingClub provides this supplemental comment letter in order to offer additional perspective as the nation’s largest facilitator of personal loans facilitating over $1 billion in loan volume per month.

Marketplace lending is a subset category of fintech lending and online lending, in that all loans provided by MLA members must be under 36% APR and meet additional responsibility standards.

Brief excerpts may be reproduced or translated provided the source is stated. ISBN 978-92-9259-051-2 (online) ii Preface FinTech credit – that is, credit activity facilitated by electronic platforms such as peer-to-peer lenders – has generated significant interest in financial markets, among policymakers and from the broader public. Yet there is significant uncertainty as to how FinTech credit markets will develop and how they will affect the nature of credit provision and the traditional banking sector. Against this background, a group of representatives from the membership of the Committee on the Global Financial System (CGFS) and the Financial Stability Board (FSB) Financial Innovation Network, together with the Secretariats of the CGFS and FSB, undertook this study of FinTech credit. The study draws on public sources and ongoing work in member institutions to analyse the functioning of FinTech credit markets, including the size, growth and nature of activities.
