In October 2007, Prosper launched a Facebook application for our members. In April 2008, we then launched a new Facebook application which allows people to transfer funds to their Prosper lending account instantly. We provided this service because lenders wanted a more immediate ability to bid on loans they liked without having to wait for funds to clear.
We are pleased to announce that over 5,000 members have downloaded this application!
If you are a registered lender on Prosper and have not yet installed the Facebook application, you can do so here. Once you have installed the Prosper Facebook application, you can transfer as little as $50 and as much as 50% of your loan value instantly.
Adding the Prosper Facebook application allows you to keep your friends updated on your Prosper Lending activity. And, if you want, you can display which loans listings you are watching and/or have bid on in your news feed and mini-feed sections.
If you are not a member of Facebook and are not sure about this social networking site take another look at it. There are over 36 million US users - it’s not just for students anymore! Facebook attracted over 123 million unique visitors in May, 2008. Their website’s ranking among all websites increased from 60th to 7th in terms of traffic from September 2006 to September 2007 and has now increased to 5th according to Alexa.
Hundreds of applications are created everyday, and there are now 7,000 applications on the site.
Join our 5,000 member strong base and see how easy it is to set up a page on Facebook and download our application.
