Browser Requirements for using Prosper

Browsers that are compatible with Prosper

Prosper is compatible with the most widely used browsers. These include:

In addition to the compatible browsers listed above, Prosper may also be compatible with older or newer browsers or browsers not listed. However, we cannot guarantee their performance.

To determine which browser and version you are using follow these steps:

Launch your browser.
On the top task bar, click on 'Help'.
In the drop down menu, choose 'About...'
The current version of your browser will be indicated in the pop-up box.
Click on OK or the X in the top right corner of the pop-up box to exit.

128 Bit Browser Required

As part of our ongoing effort to assure the high security level of Prosper, we require all browsers accessing secure pages within our website to support 128-bit encryption.

To determine if your browser supports 128-bit encryption, click on "Help" in the toolbar of your Internet browser and click on "About [browser name]". A pop-up box or window will display. For Internet Explorer: next to "Cipher strength" you should see "128-bit." For Netscape: the following text should appear: "This version supports high-grade (128-bit) security with RSA Public Key Cryptography". AOL users will have to check the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser to see if it supports 128-bit encryption.

If your browser does not support 128-bit encryption, you will need to upgrade to a browser that does in order to access secure pages of the Prosper website.

Downloading a Compatible Browser

If you are not using one of the supported browsers above, you should download the latest version by clicking on its link above. If you use AOL and the modified Internet Explorer browser that comes as part of AOL, AOL and Internet Explorer have to be upgraded through America Online for your browser to function correctly.
