Prosper.com - the U.S. version of Zopa

May 29, 2007

Thanks for visiting! If you like what you're reading, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed.

I have talked about Zopa.com a little while ago, and my initial thoughts were fairly positive. I still plan on trying it as soon as I have sufficient funds available.

J.D. @ Get Rich Slowly has posted a couple of articles on Prosper.com, which - as far as I can tell - is fairly similar to Zopa.com. The articles have generated quite a heated discussion and he has reproduced some of the comments in a further blog entry (that also includes comments made on other people’s blog).

I thought you might be interested in reading more about people’s experiences with personal lending sites, so I want to share the links here:

  • Original article: Investing on YOUR Terms
  • Prosper Personal Lending Update
  • Comments Round-Up

Let me know what you think!
