During the week I share the latest p2p lending news on Twitter as it happens. Then every Saturday I take the most interesting news items and blog posts from the past week and share them here.

The biggest news this week was the story broken by the Financial Times  (free registration required) yesterday about the upcoming Lending Club IPO. They revealed that Lending Club has chosen the investment banks that will lead the offering and also the expected valuation. The news was quickly picked up by the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and Fortune Magazine.

Here are the other stories and news I have been following this week.
