Roundup of Social Lending News – June 16, 2012

Every Saturday I bring you the latest news from the world of peer to peer lending. These are the best of the news articles and blog posts from around the web that I shared on Twitter this past week.

The Financial Times and Guardian articles below, even though they are mostly about the UK market, continue to expose p2p lending to more mainstream investors. Recent developments in this country certainly make it feel that p2p lending is nearing a tipping point. But we are not there yet. I am sure if you poll 100 of your friends less than 10 will still have heard of p2p lending, but that is slowly changing. What has changed is that now, if you poll 100 professional investors on Wall Street, I expect 90 or so will have heard of p2p lending. Plenty of good stories for you below. Enjoy your weekend and Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there.
