Prosper is pleased to inform our lenders in Mississippi that we have received state clearances and are now open for business. We have hundreds of lenders and borrowers participating in the first auction based peer-to-peer loans platform and welcome our members in Mississippi back to our community.

Prosper is in the process of working with every state to allow lending; however each state has their own process and ultimately Prosper does not control the timeline involved to get approval. Rest assured that this is a priority for us and we will let you know as lending opens up in new states.

Prosper offers three easy ways to invest in individual Americans – in a plan, one-at-a-time, or existing Notes – the choice is yours. Portfolio Plans place bids automatically, saving you time. You can choose a ready-made plan that meets your goals and earns great returns. The estimated returns on our portfolio plans range from 6% to 14%. These are healthy returns that confirm peer-to-peer lending is a viable alternative asset class in which to invest.

Be sure to follow us on Twitter, become a fan on Facebook, and check back here on the Prosper Blog to join in the discussions about peer-to-peer lending.

Welcome back and happy investing!
