IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT.To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.1 Eligibility for personal loans up to $50,000 depends on a number of factors, including (but not limited to) your financial history, credit score, monthly income, and monthly expenses. Eligibility for personal loans is not guaranteed, and requires sufficient investor commitments to fund. All personal loans made by WebBank.2 You may receive your funds one business day following your acceptance of the loan offer, completion of all necessary verification steps and final approval. One business day funding is also dependent on your bank’s ability to quickly process the transaction.3 Weighted average historical return for loans originated through Prosper as of March 31 2025. To be included in the historical return (“Historical Return”) calculation, the loan must have originated (a) on or after July 1, 2009, and (b) at least 12 months prior to the calculation date. Historical Returns are based on actual payments (other than principal) received by the investor net of fees and losses (including from charged-off loans). We calculate the Historical Return for loans originated through Prosper as follows. First, loans are separated into distinct “Groups” based on the specific month and year in which they were originated and their Prosper Rating at origination. For each Group, we calculate: (a) the sum of the interest paid, plus late fees, minus servicing fees, minus collection fees, in each case on active loans, plus net recoveries on charged-off or defaulted loans, plus net debt sale proceeds on sold loans, minus gross principal losses; divided by (b) the sum of the principal balances outstanding on active loans at the end of each day since origination. We then annualize the result to get the “Historical Return” for the Group. Once this calculation is performed for every Group, we compute the cumulative outstanding principal dollar weighted average of their Historical Returns. This gives us the “weighted average Historical Return” for loans originated through Prosper. For purposes of this calculation, “active” means loans that are either (i) current in payments or (ii) delinquent, provided that delinquent loans that have charged-off or are in default are not considered active. Loans that have paid off are also not considered active.The Historical Return calculation (a) is updated quarterly; and (b) excludes the impact of servicing related corrective non-cash adjustments that may modify the outstanding balance or status of a borrower loan. The actual return on any Note depends on the prepayment and delinquency pattern of the loan underlying each Note, which is highly uncertain. Individual results may vary. Historical performance is no guarantee of future results and the information presented is not intended to be investment advice or a guarantee about the performance of any Note.The Prosper Credit Card is an unsecured credit card issued by Coastal Community Bank, Member FDIC, pursuant to license by Mastercard® International.All personal loans made by WebBank.Prosper and its lending partners take your privacy seriously.Please see Prosper’s Privacy Policy, WebBank’s Privacy Policy, and Coastal Community Bank’s Privacy Policy for more details.Prosper Marketplace, Inc.

Visit the Prosper Help Center for more support
[H4] How does investing through Prosper work?
Prosper is an online peer-to-peer lending marketplace, where creditworthy borrowers can request a loan and investors can invest in “notes” (or portions) of each loan.
After a borrower accepts their loan offer, we may verify their application information. Upon borrower acceptance, investors have up to 14 days to commit funds to the loan through their Prosper account. Once a borrower passes any additional verification requirements and one or more investor(s) commit enough funds to the loan it’s ready for origination.
Loans through Prosper are amortized, meaning borrowers make fixed monthly payments throughout the duration of their 2, 3, 4 or 5 year term. Each payment is comprised of principal, interest, and any applicable fees. Investors receive a portion of those payments that are proportional to their pro rata share of the loan. These funds are deposited directly into investors’ Prosper Accounts.
[H4] What's the risk?
With any debt, there’s always the risk that a borrower can default on their loan, which could result in a loss for the investor(s) who invested in the loan. Loans are unsecured obligations, meaning they are not secured by any collateral of the borrower. To assess the risk of each loan before committing funds, investors should review the loan request details and the Prospectus.
[H4] Who can invest on Prosper?
Retail investors must be United States permanent residents or citizens who are 18 years of age or older, with a valid Social Security number (or other Taxpayer Identification Number, if investing through a trust, estate, or corporate entity) and checking or savings account. Retail investors must reside in a state that is open to Prosper investors and may also be required to meet suitability requirements established by their state of residence. See more state requirements here.
[H4] Do you recommend a certain starting amount?
While we can’t make any specific recommendations; we have found that investors generate a more stable return when they diversify their investment through many different Notes, with each Note corresponding to the borrower loan of a different borrower. Prosper’s Notes are offered by Prospectus which is an official document that describes all the key information for the investments we offer. You can find our Prospectus on our website at the bottom of any page at www.prosper.com.
For individual general investment accounts, the minimum amount you can invest is $25.
For IRAs managed by our designated custodians, Millennium Trust Company and Alto IRA, the minimum investment amount required to qualify for custodian fee reimbursement is $5,000 in year 1 and $10,000 in all subsequent years. Please note that these minimums refer to the amount invested in Prosper Notes — cash balances will not be counted.
[H4] Is my money FDIC insured?
The cash balance of your Prosper investment account is FDIC insured by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., a depository bank.
The FBO account that we maintain at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. for the benefit of investors is FDIC-insured on a “pass through” basis to individual investors, subject to applicable limits and conditions. This means that each individual investor’s balance is protected by FDIC insurance, up to the aggregate amounts established by the FDIC. Other funds the investor has on deposit with Wells Fargo may count against the FDIC insurance limits. Prosper is not an FDIC-insured depository institution. FDIC insurance only covers the failure of Wells Fargo, the FDIC-insured depository institution.
Please be aware that any funds lost due to borrower default or poor Note performance are not FDIC insured, and any invested funds are not deposits, are not guaranteed by any agency of the federal government or by Wells Fargo, and may lose value.
[H4] How liquid are my investments through Prosper?
Personal Loans offered through Prosper are 2, 3, 4 and 5 year terms – meaning borrowers make fixed monthly payments throughout the duration of their loan’s term. Each payment is comprised of principal, interest, and any applicable fees. Investors receive a portion of those payments that are proportional to their pro rata share of the loan. These funds are deposited directly into investors’ Prosper Accounts as uninvested available cash.
Any uninvested available cash in your account is FDIC-insured and can be withdrawn whenever you wish, but your investment (principal and interest) is repaid to you over the course of the underlying loan term.
[H4] What if the borrower misses a payment?
If the borrower does not satisfy their monthly payment within 15 days of the due date, the borrower will be charged a late fee. Late fees are 5% of the payment amount or $15, whichever is greater (unless state restrictions apply).
We divide and distribute the late fees proportionately among the investors in the corresponding Notes, subject to deductions for collection fees and servicing fees.
CollectionsIf a loan is more than one day past due, we may collect on it directly or we may refer it to a third-party servicer or collection agency. Once a loan reaches 121 days past due, it is charged off. Historically, recovery rates on loans once they have entered into collections range from 7-12%.
Investors cannot attempt their own collections efforts or attempt to contact borrowers directly.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT.
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
1. Weighted average historical return for loans originated through Prosper as of March 31 2025. To be included in the historical return (“Historical Return”) calculation, the loan must have originated (a) on or after July 1, 2009, and (b) at least 12 months prior to the calculation date. Historical Returns are based on actual payments (other than principal) received by the investor net of fees and losses (including from charged-off loans). We calculate the Historical Return for loans originated through Prosper as follows. First, loans are separated into distinct “Groups” based on the specific month and year in which they were originated and their Prosper Rating at origination. For each Group, we calculate: (a) the sum of the interest paid, plus late fees, minus servicing fees, minus collection fees, in each case on active loans, plus net recoveries on charged-off or defaulted loans, plus net debt sale proceeds on sold loans, minus gross principal losses; divided by (b) the sum of the principal balances outstanding on active loans at the end of each day since origination. We then annualize the result to get the “Historical Return” for the Group. Once this calculation is performed for every Group, we compute the cumulative outstanding principal dollar weighted average of their Historical Returns. This gives us the “weighted average Historical Return” for loans originated through Prosper. For purposes of this calculation, “active” means loans that are either (i) current in payments or (ii) delinquent, provided that delinquent loans that have charged-off or are in default are not considered active. Loans that have paid off are also not considered active.
The Historical Return calculation (a) is updated quarterly; and (b) excludes the impact of servicing related corrective non-cash adjustments that may modify the outstanding balance or status of a borrower loan. The actual return on any Note depends on the prepayment and delinquency pattern of the loan underlying each Note, which is highly uncertain. Individual results may vary. Historical performance is no guarantee of future results and the information presented is not intended to be investment advice or a guarantee about the performance of any Note.
2. To establish each pre-set Auto Invest mix, Prosper Notes are distributed across all risk ratings from AA to HR according to Historical Inventory of each risk rating, then: (x) weighted towards AA, A and B risk ratings, for the AA-B Weighted mix; (y) weighted towards D, E, and HR risk ratings, for the D-HR Weighted mix; and (z) unweighted, for the Marketplace Mix. Historical Return range represents the dollar weighted 10th-90th percentile of the Weighted Historical Returns for the mix of loan ratings. Historical Returns are based on actual payments (other than principal) received by the investor net of fees and charge-offs on loans originated through the Prosper platform. To be included in the Historical Return calculation, the loan must have originated (i) on or after July 1, 2009, and (ii) at least 12 months prior to the calculation date. We calculate Historical Returns for loans with this rating or mix of ratings (as applicable) as follows. First, for each origination month, or “Vintage”, we calculate (for all eligible loans): (a) the sum of the interest paid, plus net recoveries, plus net debt sale proceeds, plus late fees, minus servicing fees, minus collection fees, minus gross losses from charge-offs; divided by (b) the sum of the average principal balances outstanding at the end of each day of the calculation month. We then annualize the result to get the “Historical Return” for the Vintage and rating. This calculation is performed for every Vintage, and each applicable rating. Finally, we compute the origination dollar weighted Historical Return of each Vintage and relevant rating to get their “Weighted Historical Returns”.
The actual return on any Note depends on the prepayment and delinquency pattern of the loan underlying each Note, which is highly uncertain. Individual results may vary. This information is not intended to be investment advice. Historical performance is no guarantee of future results or a guarantee about the performance of any Note. Based on data from current Historical Inventory. Historical Return information as of Jun 30 2025.
Historical Inventory refers to the proportion of Notes on the marketplace represented by each Note risk rating. It is based on the most recent month (approximately) of inventory of the marketplace; provided, however, that Prosper reserves the right to apply such further adjustments to the Historical Inventory and/or the related pre-set target mix as it deems necessary to more accurately reflect the projected availability of each Note risk rating on the platform for the coming month.
Prosper’s borrower payment dependent notes (“Notes”) are offered pursuant to a Prospectus filed with the SEC. Notes are not guaranteed or FDIC insured, and investors may lose some or all of the principal invested. Investors should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties, and other information described in the Prospectus before investing. Investors should consult their financial advisor if they have any questions or need additional information. Nothing on this page is intended to be investment advice.

Your Diagnosis

Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.

Information Density 0 / 30
Read the Narrative & headings: do hard facts (prices, dates, numbers) outweigh fluff power-words?
Semantic Coherence 0 / 20
Compare the homepage promise against the sub-page reality. Do they hold the same line?
Trust & Proof 0 / 20
Weigh review mentions against actual external proof links. Claims without verification = theatre.
Commodity Fingerprint 0 / 15
Check headings & narrative against the industry clichés in the setup above.
Identity & Authority 0 / 15
Inspect the schema: is there real Organization/Person identity with sameAs links, or gaps?
Your predicted BS score 0 / 100
💡 Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)

These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.

Information Density

Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.

Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.

Trust & Proof

Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.

Commodity Fingerprint

Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.

Identity & Authority

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.

19 BS / 100

Prosper is a high-substance financial platform that backs its marketing slogans with heavy regulatory and technical documentation. The BS score is driven primarily by minor industry cliches and a broken sub-page link rather than deceptive signaling. It is a rare example of a site where the footnotes contain as much utility as the headlines.

Fix the 403 Forbidden error on the Credit Card page to restore technical credibility. Replace generic team references like ‘human specialists’ with named, qualified leadership profiles linked to Person schema and professional digital footprints. Move the highly substantive historical return methodology from the footer to a more accessible ‘Transparency’ section on the Invest page. Reduce the repetition of ‘Helping people thrive’ across H2 and H3 tags to decrease the commodity fingerprint.

The site aligns perfectly with the Financial Services and P2P Lending category. The content focuses on credit products like personal loans and the Prosper Card, as well as investment opportunities in loan notes, which is consistent with the peer-to-peer marketplace model.

“The score of 19 reflects an unusually honest digital presence. The Information Density pillar (7) and Trust and Proof pillar (3) are very low because the site provides exact APR ranges (8.99% to 35.99%) and specific fee types (Origination, Late, etc.). The 403 error and generic value prop cliches prevented a lower score.”
