What's the difference between online lending and microfinance companies?

1. Different functions: The function of p2p online lending platform is an information intermediary, which provides a medium for borrowers and lenders to contact each other and does not participate in capital transactions. The function of small loan companies is to provide small loans for small enterprises and individuals, that is, the company lends its own funds to qualified borrowers in small amounts and directly participates in capital lending transactions.

2. Different profit models: small loan companies cannot absorb public deposits, and their main profits come from loan interest. As an information intermediary, p2p online lending platform is mainly owned by investors, that is, the annualized rate of investors. The interest rate of p2p online loans is more reasonable, while the interest rate of microfinance companies is higher.

3. The development status is different: the regulatory authorities have strengthened supervision, making the online lending platform operate in a standardized manner under a strict regulatory system. The online loan supervision has achieved initial results, and the online loan industry will gradually transform in the future. Small loan companies are embarrassed and can only lend but not absorb deposits. In the future development, small loan companies may face survival crisis due to lack of funds.
