Today’s banks are no longer the #1 place to go to get money.  No, an innovative new way to borrow money is called peer to peer (P2P) lending and is part of the peer financial network.  Online sites such as Prosper and Lending Club are being accessed everyday by ordinary Americans looking for a place to borrow money at a reasonable rate.  These sites also are places where today’s investors can earn a fairly high rate of return.  Lenders with money to invest make it available to borrowers who need a loan.  Then, the two are connected via the internet to finalize the transaction.  The entire process is easy to understand and online sites provide step by step instructions.  The peer to peer lending sites have grown in popularity during the past few years and this is due, in a large part, to the economic situation that our country is in.  Banks have tightened their lending programs and it’s much harder to get a loan than ever before.  A system had to be established that would in some way allow people with fairly good credit to get loans and in turn put money back into the economy.  That is why peer loans are so appealing to many Americans.  It helps borrowers get much needed loans at interest rates based on their income, amount of debt and past credit history.
