I spent some time roaming the latest entry into P2P called Fynanz, which specializes in student loans. Not much going on there at the moment. I saw two loan listings, one of which was a ‘faker’ for testing purposes. Loans are done off of current LIBOR rates and adjusted accordingly. Info found here. One big [...]

Cross-border retail and consumer credit in the EU - please facilitate, don’t regulate
