Roundup of Social Lending News – March 31, 2012

March 31, 2012 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.

According to Marc Prosser, in the Forbes article referenced below, credit card lending has returned 10.5% annually for the credit card companies over the past 25 years. That is an excellent return that has been maintained through several recessions. The Forbes article was my favorite one of this past week – it provided several interesting nuggets including a prediction from Lending Club CEO Renaud Laplanche about what would happen to Lending Club’s returns if there was another recession. As always, there is plenty of other good reading, too. Enjoy your weekend.
