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.
The biggest news story of the week was the announcement by Lending Club of their largest investor ever. The news of this $25 million investment was picked up by many places around the web and you can read the articles from Bloomberg and Benzinga below. Have a great weekend.
