This action of the regional banks signals their belief that it is not only feasible but it may have real cost economies to identifying, assessing, monitoring, and servicing viable borrowers.” – Tayyeb Shabbir, professor of finance, quoted in “Community Banks partner with Lending Clubs as P2P Continues to Evolve” (Bankless Times, Aug. 11, 2013)
