AGENDA

Crowlending with Ethereum Smart Contracts
By Stefan Naegeli, Swisspeers

The fintech startup Swisspeers is an independent crowdlending platform for SME Loans. Crowdlending is a subcategory of crowdfunding where multiple investors (the crowd) extend loans to a person or corporation in return of interest. These peer-to-peer loans are a quick and easy alternative to traditional bank loans. Swisspeers is the first crowdlending platform in Switzerland to take advantage of blockchain technology for the administration of contracts between borrowers and lenders. In this presentation, Stefan will show you how Swisspeers is using the Ethereum Blockchain in its crowdlending processes, its benefits, and challenges.
