Several p2p lending marketplaces managed to grow the loan originations in December despite the Christmas season. Especially Prosper had a record month. I added one more service. I do monitor development of p2p lending figures for many markets. Since I already have most of the data on file I can publish statistics on the monthly loan originations for selected p2p lending services.
Investors living in markets with no or limited choice of local p2p lending services can check this list of marketplaces open to international investors.
