Roundup of Social Lending News – August 13, 2011

August 13, 2011 By Peter Renton Leave a Comment

Every Saturday I bring you the latest news from the world of peer to peer lending. These are the best of the news articles and blog posts from around the web that I shared on Twitter this past week.

After the previous week was dominated by Lending Club, Prosper was certainly visible in the news this week. They put out a press release announcing improved returns for investors, they wrote a blog post (and sent an email) by their head of risk management in response to the current stock market turmoil and finally they announced a webinar for next week. These and links to all the other main news of the week are below.

Prosper – Prosper.com Investor Returns Increase to 10.6%

Wiseclerk – P2P Equity Service Seedmatch Launched

Social Sector Finance Update – Important Guidance Given on Person-to-Person Lending Platforms

Prosper blog – Conservative Underwriting For Uncertain Times

Discerning Technologist – Summary of Engagement Banking Meet-Up in San Francisco

P2P Lending News – Prosper to Hold Investor Webinar

American Express Open Forum – Try Social Lending As An Alternative To Banks
