P2P-Banking.com

Prosper.com now makes the link between loans and listings available. With this new feature now everyone can see the status of the loan payments of every borrower. On the borrower profile page there is now a "Loans" tab:

Previously only lenders invested in a loan could directly see, which status it had. All others had to use 3rd party tools like Wiseclerk.com. Those had to program their own matching algorithms since no key matching loans to listings was published by Prosper.

Prosper has always been the p2p lending service that made most data available about its market.

I will have to look into which parts of Wiseclerk.com I need to rebuild to make use of the new information linking listings to loans.

Further improvements that Prosper announced include reporting to Transunion and enabling borrowers to repay directly using money in their Prosper account.

Based on an idea from frequencydip and using code first implemented by zieri of zierious.com I just added short urls, which are much easier to remember and do not use that much space in forum signatures or elsewhere.

Everybody can now use the following short URLs:

• http://www.wiseclerk.com/r/listing/108578 to link to a listing number (just state listing number at end e.g. 108578) 
• http://www.wiseclerk.com/r/group/Apple to link to group (e.g. Apple)
• http://www.wiseclerk.com/r/glistings/Apple to link to openlistings of a group (e.g. Apple)
• http://www.wiseclerk.com/r/member/frequencydip to link to a prosper.com member page (e.g. frequencydip)

This URLs instantly without delay redirect to the prosper.com pages.
