Description:
Peer-to-peer lending, or social lending, is a new process of connecting an individual borrower with lenders without using traditional banks to obtain an unsecured loan. Potential borrowers can post a request for a loan, along with a brief description of how they will use it. The borrower and lenders are strangers; their only knowledge of each other is through the website. Although the idea seems very informal, a peer-to-peer loan contract is a formal, legally binding agreement between two parties.
This passage is mainly about
(A)peer-to-peer lending as a social agreement
(B)how a formal agreement is created by peer-to-peer lenders
(C)different types of loans available through traditional banks
(D)borrowing money from friends
