Chinese peer-to-peer lending is undergoing a turbulent time with regulator crack downs and authorities raiding companies’ offices.
This is not detracting investors too much though with online peer-to-peer lender FirstP2P landing $70m in its Series C round of funding from CCB International and San Shan Capital Partners.
The funding reportedly values the Beijing-based company at $2bn, according to Chinese media.
The company’s online lending platform operates the standard peer-to-peer lending model that sees investors matched to potential borrowers.
The platform provides car loans, mortgages and financial leasing to small and medium enterprises.
FirstP2P previously raised $41m in a Series B round last July from San Shan Capital, CITIC Capital and ChinaEquity Group.
CCB International and ChinaEquity Group also invested in its Series A round.
