EDUCATION SESSION #721
Crowdfunding and Crowdlending: A Swiss Perspective
Crowdfunding, an alternate way to raise capital using online platforms, has seen at least double-digit year on year growth in Switzerland in the past few years. Learn about Crowdlending, one of the verticals most disruptive to the established financial services ecosystem, which has great potential to exponentially increase volumes.  Hear about the mechanisms for Crowdlending, plus its participants, risks and rewards, as you evaluate the opportunities and threats it represents to sources of capital and competition for investors.
