They literally created an industry and changed the mould globally as we have seen with multi-billion$ IPOs in the US in December 2014.
As they were the first they have always had a core of “getting it right” – aka not losing customers money – aka getting “high quality consumer credit right”. This they have certainly done as they still produced positive returns through the mega-consumer crisis of 2008.

Alternative Finance is, in essence, Finance not provided by banks (and in a Fintech context, finance provided by “Fintechs”). As such it is one of the sexier sectors in terms of being a direct competitor to banks. It is an incredibly key, and an incredibly exciting sector.
