Lending Club Blog

Posted by :: July 19, 2007 @ 6:41 am

As recently reported by CenterNetworks and Prosperlending (we can’t seem to keep up with our own news), we just launched a contest on Facebook for the best video about peer-to-peer lending.

Anyone with a Facebook account can participate by making a short video and posting it in this Facebook group and on YouTube. The video that receives the most views on YouTube wins, and the winner earns $5,000 for their innovative creation. The contest will end August 10. See complete contest rules here.

We are launching this contest to invite everybody to think about peer-to-peer lending in a fun and creative way, help explain the benefits, and just spread the word. We heard today about a few entries in the making that sound just hilarious and can’t wait to see them in action! Email with any question about this contest at contests@lendingclub.com.

This is just another way to get out of debt: win $5,000 and pay off your credit card balance!

    That is interesting! We at ING Asia Pacific also recently launched
    a video contest (
    http://www.ingblogs.com/mycupofcha/?p=85 ) to celebrate
    our blog's one year anniversary. It is good to see that efforts to
    video-capture the fun part of finance (be it P2P or otherwise) is
    being rewarded nowadays! David
