Just started with LendingRobot this week, and it already bought a few notes for me on autopilot — far more effective than Prosper’s automated quick invest. Curious to continue testing and see how it does.
Thanks for sharing — otherwise never would have heard about them. Hope they can help deploy some of the idle cash!
Hi Nick, I think you will find LendingRobot will be infinitely better than Prosper’s Automated Quick Invest. I know Prosper is working on improving this tool but until they do you will do much better with a service like LendingRobot that uses Prosper’s API to invest.
