Monthly Lender Statement

« Back to help topics

Your lender statement is a snapshot in time of your lending account. The statement is created as of the end of the day (11:59 PM) on the last day of every month, and is made available in "My Account > Statements" a few days later. Please note that monthly lender statements from previous calendar years are automatically deleted from the site. Please save old statements offline for long-term storage.

A lender statement is also created for all lenders at the end of every calendar year. Learn more about the year-end lender statement.


Account summary

The account summary appears on the front page of your statement and shows the distribution of all the money in your lending account, including liquid funds, funds loaned, and payments in transit.

Specific fields include:

  • Cash balance: The cash balance of your account (formerly known as "Available for bidding"). This amount does not include funds which are already in active winning bids and winning bids pending review. These funds can be transferred out of Prosper at any time. When monthly payments are made by borrowers, any group leader rewards and fees (servicing, collection, NSF, bank draft, etc.) are deducted; the remaining funds are deposited in your cash balance.
  • Active loan value: The value of funds which are currently in loans to borrowers. This is a gross accrued value of your outstanding loans, and changes on a daily basis, according to the accrual schedule of your loans.
  • Payments in transit: Borrower payments which have been initiated but have not yet been deposited into your cash balance. Funds from these payments will be reflected in your cash balance up to 4 business days later.
  • Winning bids:The amount of funds which are currently held in active bids. If any funds are outbid (even partially outbid), those funds will be returned to your cash balance.
  • Winning bids pending review: If you are a winning bidder on a listing that has been funded, but Prosper is still conducting further review on the listing, origination funds will be held for up to 7 days while the listing is reviewed, and the amount of your bid (or bids) will appear in this line item until the loan is issued. If the loan does not pass review within 7 days, your bid will be returned to your cash balance.
  • Account total: The sum of all above fields, representing the total value of your lending account on Prosper.


Loans and payments

The loans and payments section is a detailed account of all loans held which were active at some point during the statement period. This includes loans which were bought during the statement period and loans which defaulted during the statement period.

The "Active loan value" table includes:

  • Starting loan value: The value of your loans on the first date of the statement period. This figure should match the "Ending loan value" on your statement for the previous period.
  • New loans placed: The total amount of new loan principal created during the statement period.
  • Accruals: The total amount of interest and fee accruals on your loan portfolio during the statement period. Interest is accrued daily; the value of each loan's daily accrual is dependent on the principal balance, interest rate, and payment schedule.
  • Payments: The total amount of interest, late fees, and principal which was paid by borrowers on your loans during the statement period.
  • Defaults: The total amount in interest, late fee, and principal offsets to your loan value due to defaulted loans. Actual recoveries from loan sales (if any) will be included in the "Account activity" section of your statement, under "Defaults".
