NETWORKING PLATFORM FOR LENDING

摘要

A networking platform for lending is disclosed. The platform may facilitate communication of potential borrowers and potential lenders where such lenders are not traditional financial institutional lenders. Generally, the platform is configured in a manner in which the loan is facilitated between the borrower and a lender such that the platform service is sufficiently distanced from the actual lending such that the platform provider is not required to comply with various lending statutes and regulations. The platform may additionally be configured to poll a potential borrower's social network to identify acquaintances that may wish to fund at least a portion of the requested loan.
