Marketplace Lending Report Switzerland 2023

The Marketplace Lending Report represents the third comprehensive overview of debt capital financing for companies, public corporations and private individuals in Switzerland via the Internet. This analysis delves into the field of online platforms that connect lenders and borrowers, essentially bypassing the traditional financial intermediary role played by banks. Since 2018, there has been notable growth in platforms catering exclusively to professional and institutional investors. The Marketplace Lending Report encompasses platforms dedicated to institutional investors and borrowers (B2B business) as well as those open to private investors. This study is a collaborative effort between the Lucerne School of Business and the Swiss Marketplace Lending Association (SMLA). Its primary objectives are to emphasise the increasing economic significance of the Swiss online financing market and enhance market transparency.
