“We see that investors’ interest and confidence in P2P lending are increasing again, and the segment is on the way to recovery,” said Sergey Sedov, founder and chief executive of Robo.cash.
“Earlier in June, we predicted that the European market would resume its growth in summer.
“According to the statistics, in the third quarter 2020 the amount of loans funded through the local P2P lending platforms indeed gained 34 per cent in comparison to the second quarter, confirming this forecast.
“The statistics of Robo.cash also coincides with this trend. Seeing such a tendency, we are confident that the industry will continue growing this year.”
This follows Robo.cash reporting increased initial investments from P2P investors in July.
During the same month, a survey from the platform revealed more than a third of P2P investors in Europe believe the market will recover by the end of the year.
