| Description: | Prosper is an online auction website where people can buy loans and request to borrow money. Borrowers set the maximum rate they wish to pay, and loan buyers set the minimum rate they wish to receive. Prosper verifies selected borrowers' identity and personal data before funding loans, and manages loan repayment. These unsecured loans are fully amortized over three years, with no pre-payment penalty. Prosper generates revenue by collecting a one-time fee on funded loans from borrowers, and assessing an annual loan servicing fee to loan buyers. |
