Posted by Merry Richter :: February 14, 2008 @ 7:20 amSocial lending is getting increasingly mainstream media coverage. As Rate Ladder reported yesterday, peer to peer lending received prominent placement in Forbes Magazine and CNBC over the last few days.
Our CEO, Renaud Laplanche, was interviewed on CNBC’s Power Lunch program earlier this week to explain how social lending is helping people across America lend and borrow money at better rates.
A week earlier, CNBC’s The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch had a segment that highlighted person-to-person lending as a great financing alternative. You can read about that segment on The Big Idea Blog to get their take on social lending, and on Lending Club in particular.
To round up the week, we were pleasantly surprised to find that Lending Club was mentioned in the cover story of last week’s issue of BusinessWeek.
Social lending is rapidly gaining mainstream adoption, and this is excellent news for the Lending Club community.
Better Rates. Together.
