How Peer-to-Peer Lending Works

Creditworthy Borrowers create a listing for a fixed rate loan. Lenders looking for a better return and greater transparency invest in individual Americans.

Peer to Peer Lending—Rewarding for Borrowers and Lenders

  • Peer-to-Peer lending is a financial community made up of individual people seeking lower rate loans and investment opportunities with higher returns.
  • Borrowers apply online for a loan. Lenders bid on loan listings. Registered lenders have access to the borrower's credit information. They can view the purpose of the loan, the borrower's Prosper Rating, and more.
  • If the loan gets enough bids, funds are placed in the borrower's bank account. Payments are automatically deducted from their bank account.
  • Lenders enjoy the rewards of this alternative investment: they receive monthly payments of principal and interest.
  • The high costs of banks are removed because we connect people directly: everyone benefits.

* Estimated Return is the projected annual return on funds invested in model portfolio plans. While Estimated Return takes into account the projected impact of credit losses based on historical data, the calculation requires significant assumptions about the repayment of loans. Lenders should make their own judgments with respect to the accuracy of these assumptions. Actual performance may differ from estimated performance. Learn more.
