Abstract: The research presents the results of an assessment and analysis of changes in the level of credit risk in the online microloan market and crowdlending market and its interpretation through the prism of financial stability indicators. A distinctive feature of the proposed approach is the application of a system of adjustment factors that take into account the interaction of the population with digital technologies when assessing credit risks of online segments of the retail credit market, along with the construction of a "stability zone" of the calculated indicators. It was hypothesized that credit risks generated in the online microloan and crowdlending markets could become systemic risks of these markets and potentially, based on trends their growth, number of participants and interconnections with other financial institutions, systemic risks of the financial market as a whole. The results partially confirmed this assumption. Thus, we proposed to use the author's approach to assessing credit risk in the online microloan market for the population taking into account digital transformation for assessing financial stability. We also identified the limitations of using crowdlending market indicators to assess threats to financial stability.
