The seven main UK based Alternative Finance platforms (within the P2P lending and invoice funding space) reported total transactions to date of £829,313,382 on November 1st - an 8.5% increase over the month from October 1st 2014.
New player RebuildingSociety posted the biggest increase in transactions with total recorded transactions increasing 22% over the month to £2.708m, followed by Thincats (an increase of 14% over the month) and Market Invoice (up 12%).
Of the big three platforms, Ratesetter recorded the fastest growth in total transactions, putting on 11.6% in just one month. If the industry keeps up this pace of growth, total transactions should hit £2.12 billion by the end of October 2-14 - implying over £1.29 billion of possible new business for the next 12 months.
From next month AltFi Data will be recording data for a wider set of industry players, and focusing its analysis on underlying default rates and return estimates - if you have data you'd like to send us please contact sam@altfi.com. All data was taken from platforms own estimates and was true at November 1st 2014.
