- RBI ensured that the P2P lending platform could not have access to lenders as well as borrowers money by bringing the Escrow Account mechanism.
- In the case of LenDenClub, the Escrow account is operated by a RBI regulated Trustee company, which is ICICI Bank Trustee
- To mitigate the risk on the borrowers side, each platform defines its own Credit Policy, products, and various tools.
