The total credit portfolio for consumer loans provided by non-bank lenders has reached 1.4 billion euros, according to local media reports.
The Role of Non-Bank Lending in FinTech
Non-bank lenders operate as financial intermediaries that provide credit to consumers without holding a full banking license. These entities often leverage financial technology (FinTech) to streamline the lending process, utilizing digital application portals and automated credit scoring models to assess risk and deploy capital more quickly than traditional legacy banks.
By operating outside the traditional banking infrastructure, these lenders can often target specific consumer segments or offer more flexible terms, contributing to the growth of the total portfolio mentioned in recent reports.
