The peer-to-peer (P2P) lender is one of a host of new, online-only platforms that form a recent trend in personal finance. These platforms match investors looking to earn bank-beating rates of interest on their savings with borrowers looking to pay as little as possible on their loan. The theory goes that by cutting out the bank in the middle (with all its expensive overheads) P2P platforms can offer market-leading rates.
