Fintech P2P has become a popular alternative financing option in recent years. In P2P lending, online platforms provide a means for Recipients of Funds and Investors to interact and apply for Funding or provide Funding with mutually agreed profit levels. There are two main types of P2P Lending: Consumptive and Productive. This article will discuss the differences between the two types of P2P lending.
P2P consumer lending is a type of P2P lending that offers to finance for consumption purposes, such as buying electronics, monthly shopping needs, or getting cash. Consumptive P2P lending offers profits that tend to be higher than productive P2P lending because the credit risk is higher. This is because Fund Recipients who use consumptive P2P lending usually only need personal identification data without including assets as collateral.
On the other hand, productive P2P lending provides financing for business needs, such as working capital funding or purchasing equipment. Productive P2P lending has risks that tend to be lower with benefits that are relatively dependent on the tenor, type of business, and nominal financing. Fund recipients who use productive P2P lending are usually small or medium business owners who want to run their projects but are constrained by capital.

Another difference between Consumptive and Productive P2P Lending is the number of funds that can be submitted. Consumptive P2P Lending tends to offer a smaller nominal value than productive P2P lending. This is because consumer borrowers usually need money on a smaller scale. On the other hand, productive P2P lending usually offers more significant amounts of money because business owners need more capital to grow their businesses.
In addition, consumptive and productive P2P lending also differs in the duration of the financing. Consumptive P2P lending tends to offer a shorter financing period than productive P2P lending. This is because consumer financing is usually short-term, such as monthly needs or purchasing goods. On the other hand, productive P2P lending tends to offer a longer financing period because business owners need time to grow their businesses and turn a profit.
Finally, consumptive and productive P2P lending also differ in the profiles of interested investors. Investors interested in consumer P2P lending usually seek higher returns and are willing to take on higher risks. On the other hand, investors who are interested in productive P2P lending tend to prefer investments that are more stable and tend to have lower risks.
One example of Productive P2P is ETHIS. ETHIS connects Lenders and Fund Recipients to carry out projects with a Sharia Returns system. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) can get funding facilities to develop their businesses and Lenders get potential Returns (Nisbah) starting from 1 million rupiahs.
