Lufax to ditch P2P lending amid regulatory woes


The 20-year contract secured by its unit Metro Parking Management Philippines Inc would also include the construction of an additional 208-bays of steel deck parking structure in MBP - a bustling business hub in the affluent suburb near Alabang Town Centre, one of Metro Manila

BEIJING: Lufax, one of China’s largest online wealth management platforms that is backed by financial giant Ping An Insurance, plans to exit its once-core peer-to-peer lending (P2P) business, three sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

The move by Lufax to exit P2P, in which companies gather funds from retail investors and loan the money to small corporate and individual borrowers, is due to regulatory hurdles, two of the sources said, and comes amid China’s crackdown on the business to contain broader financial risks.
