Opyn

Opyn operates a direct marketplace lending platform, which means it operates the "traditional" or "pure" P2P lending model and serves as an online space where borrowers can apply for loans and investors can fund projects. Opyn is managed by Business Innovation Lab SpA, based in Italy. It carries an investment license and a payment license from the Bank of Italy.

Opyn accepts only institutional investors so you can’t directly invest in its projects.

Opyn was launched in 2012 by Ivan Pellegrini and Antonio Lafiosca. They both have over 15 years of experience.

Ivan's professional background is mainly in finance, and sales. Ivan has been, for example, a Consultant at Accenture — a digital, cloud and security solutions provider, and a Pre-Sales and Business Development Specialist at Comdata — a customer management software provider. He holds a Bachelor's degree from Bocconi University.

Antonio's professional background is mainly in finance. Antonio has been, among other positions, a Capital Markets Consultant at Accenture — a digital, cloud and security solutions provider, and a Financial Services Auditor at KPMG — an international audit, tax and advisory firm. He's graduated from University of Salerno in Banking and Financial Support Services.
