Discuss the Future Development of P2P Lending in Taiwan by Analyzing the China’s P2P Industry

隨著互聯網技術的普及與純熟，原先「線下」運行的小額借貸經營模式逐漸轉移至「線上」營運，資料處理、資金、手續等全部通過網路實現，透過第三方平台同時收取一定利息，P2P網路借貸平台至此產生。 自2005年起，以Zopa、Proper、Lending Club為代表的P2P貸款服務平台在歐美興起，並逐漸推展至世界各地，該模式被廣泛的複製並持續的變革發展。在2013年後，中國的P2P借貸市場也呈現爆炸性的增長，在今年的交易額已經超越美國市場，隨著市場的競爭，模式也漸漸的分化，不同的業者會尋求各式的機會點，但在沒法規、規範的監管下，風險不斷提升，平台跑路、倒閉的事情也是層出不窮。 由於台灣在P2P借貸方面受限於法規的限制，屬於落後者的角色，因此透過深入了解大陸P2P借貸的市場，來了解其未來發展走向，在台灣開放後可以找到合適的切入點，並以中國市場為借鏡，訂定相關的法規監管，避免整體金融市場風險加劇。The rapid growth of such “peer-to-peer” lenders has been one of fintech’s most visible successes.
