    Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) Registration Statement No. 333-147019 $500,000,000 Borrower Payment Dependent Notes This is a public offering to lender members of Prosper Marketplace, Inc., or Prosper, of up to $500,000,000 in principal amount of Borrower Payment Dependent Notes, or “Notes.” We will issue the Notes in a series, with each series of Notes dependent for payment on payments we receive on a specific borrower loan described in a listing posted on our peer-to-peer online credit auction platform, which we refer to as our “platform.” All listings on our platform are posted by individual consumer borrower members of Prosper requesting individual consumer loans, which we refer to as “borrower loans.” Important terms of the Notes include the following, each of which is described in detail in this prospectus: Our obligation to make payments on a Note will be limited to an amount equal to the lender member’s pro rata share of amounts we receive with respect to the corresponding borrower loan for that Note, net of any servicing fees. We do not guarantee payment of the Notes or the corresponding borrower loans. The Notes are special, limited obligations of Prosper only and are not obligations of the borrowers under the corresponding borrower loans. The Notes will bear interest from the date of issuance, have a fixed rate, be payable monthly and have an initial maturity of three years from issuance, which we may change from time to time. A lender member’s recourse will be extremely limited in the event that borrower information is inaccurate for any reason.

  • Crowdlending in Asia: Landscape and Investor Characteristics
    Crowdlending in Asia: Landscape and Investor Characteristics November 2020 2 Table of Contents Overview 3 Methodology Overview 4 Methodology Statement 4 Crowdlending in Asia 5 Text Analytics and Insights 7 Crowdlending Investor Characteristics 15 Survey Analysis and Insights 16 Crowdlending in Asia: Landscape and Investor Characteristics | Findings and Insights | Findings and insights 3 Overview Multiple issues arise with the emergence of crowdlending; these pertain to regulation, risk management and investors’ behaviour. Compared to the non-investment crowdfunding model, crowdlending is the dominant model in the world. As of 2019, crowdlending accounted for more than 95% of the funds raised worldwide, with Asian countries – particularly China – in the lead. In early 2020, China had the largest volume of money-raising transactions from crowdfunding totalling more than 200 billion USD. However, given the industry’s potential growth in Asian countries, multiple issues with crowdfunding practices need to be resolved. Media coverage on crowdlending is increasingly widespread, as seen from how it has become a buzzword within the last few years. Media attention on crowdlending can help us understand media awareness, media framing, and public understanding of the topic. Further, there is a lack of information on distinct characteristics and decision making of crowdfunding investors in the field of investor behaviour. We analysed the news coverage on crowdlending in Asia spanning a ten-year period from 2009 to 2019. We also surveyed crowdlending investors to understand their behaviours when interacting with crowdlending platforms. Our analyses provide insights into the challenges and opportunities of the crowdlending industry in Asia. They also reveal crowdlending investors’ behaviour.

  • Investigating the Application of Banking Regulation to Online Peer-To-Peer Lending Platforms in South Africa to Counter Systemic Risk
    Investigating the application of banking regulation to online peer-to-peer lending platforms in South Africa to counter systemic risk Tamarin Angela Floyd Student number 16391871 A research project submitted to the Gordon Institute of Business Science, University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Business Administration. 6 November 2017 i © University of Pretoria ABSTRACT The behaviour and activities of online peer-to-peer lending platforms have evolved in different ways across jurisdictions, not fitting neatly within existing financial regulatory frameworks. Together with the growth momentum of the industry and the cases where losses were suffered, this culminated in a call to regulate peer-to-peer lending platforms adequately. The research presents an analysis of online peer-to-peer lending platforms through the lens of banking theory, questioning whether peer-to-peer platforms are behaving like banks and whether they pose systemic risk. These research questions feed into the ultimate research problem: whether online peer-to-peer lending platforms should be regulated like banks with respect to liquidity and capital requirements. Liquidity and capital requirements were designed to stem systemic risk in financial systems and have been praised as effective tools. Qualitative exploratory research was undertaken with 18 experts in the field. Key findings included that the presence of systemic risk is contingent on the operating structure and legal implications of the peer-to-peer platform. In certain cases, systemic risk could be present and as such liquidity and capital requirements should apply. The scope of the research was restricted to the South African financial system due to the unique nuances of its regulatory framework.

Banks and Bank Systems, 11(4), 20-30. doi:10.21511/bbs.11(4).2016.02 DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/bbs.11(4).2016.02 RELEASED ON Friday, 09 December 2016 JOURNAL "Banks and Bank Systems" FOUNDER LLC “Consulting Publishing Company “Business Perspectives” NUMBER OF REFERENCES NUMBER OF FIGURES NUMBER OF TABLES 0 0 0 © The author(s) 2021. This publication is an open access article. businessperspectives.org Banks and Bank Systems, Volume 11, Issue 4, 2016 Alexander Lavryk (Ukraine) P2P lending as an alternative to bank lending in Ukraine Abstract The goal of the article is to consider peer-to-peer lending and its interaction with bank lending that creates an aggregate hybrid lending. The article’s objective is the research of development of P2P lending on the financial market and beyond, which is particularly relevant today. This goal is achieved by using the methods of evaluation and comparative analysis of different principles, which makes it possible to structure the general scientific understanding of P2P lending with the help of statistical methods. The study of the dynamics and structure of peer-to-peer lending in various coun- tries for the period 2005-2016 led to the conclusion that in Ukraine, there is a decline in the share of bank lending in favor of peer-to-peer lending in the total amount of loans with an increasing role of non-bank and hybrid forms of len- ding in ensuring economic growth.
