Please reply. I will not pay any up-front fee’s, if it is real there shouldn’t be anyway.

I’m glad someone’s doing this in Canada! I love Prosper (actually set up an account on it with an American friend and have been borrowing and lending on it).

I wanted to launch a similar service in Canada, but couldn’t get the resources to pull it off. My hats off to you Colin and crew!

I believe it is about time someone in Canada has stepped up to the plate to offer a service comparable to Prosper in the US. All you need to know is the statistical percentages of canadians who feel secure using their online banking services and online savings services such as HSBC and ING Direct. This, in my opinion will be a HUGE success. I can not wait to start lending!

Hi Mark,

I find this space so interesting. It’s a great example of a starfish up against a spider. I also wonder whether Canadians, at least enough of them, will be interested in shaking the regulatory binds that banks offer, or whether our conservative nature will keep us in place. This much I know, the fact that Colin’s involved makes me think it’ll fly. I can’t wait to find out.

Thanks,
Wm

Thanks for the post, Mark. We are enjoying being part of the Canadian internet scene, and plan to have news updates over the coming weeks, as we reach some key milestones.
