Reed Smith has issued the first comprehensive white paper discussing the comments submitted in response to Treasury’s July 2015 Request for Information (RFI) on marketplace lending. The RFI, entitled “Public Input on Expanding Access to Credit through Online Marketplace Lending,” sought public comment on the FinTech business models applicable to online lending, the potential for marketplace lending to expand access to credit, and how the financial regulatory framework should evolve to support the safe growth of this industry. The RFI drew responses from FinTech companies, banks, industry and consumer groups, politicians, agencies, and other concerned parties. Reed Smith’s FinTech team reviewed and summarized the comments, and is proud to provide this FinTech Report on the key responses, and the themes, arguments and proposals contained in its pages.
