LendIt Europe has been a main event for the peer-to-peer(P2P) industry ever since 2014 and this year was no different. This year LendIt has also expanded their offering to cover all innovative financial services such as digital banks, robo-advisers, blockchain technology etc.
With over 1000+ FinTech professionals gathered to learn, discuss and network, it was a busy two days for the Relendex team that attended the conference. This year we had a stand, giving us the opportunity to introduce Relendex’s proposition to many of the attendees. From family offices to small European banks, there was plenty of interest shown across the board in Relendex’s P2P lending strategy.

The panel believe that there will be casualties & consolidation within the property lending industry. Just a question of when? #LendItEurope

Valuation is not gospel. 70% LTV doesn't guarantee that there will be no losses. #property #lending #loans

Interest rates will rise here in the UK is what all members of the panel believe. But slowly... #interest #rate #banking #LendItEurope
