Yesterday, in reaction to Lending Club’s post 100 Days and a Million Dollars in Loans! I did a straight comparison on loan volume during the first 100 days. A reader pointed out, Lending Club loans are in a smaller credit band than Prosper and wondered how the 2 compared when that is factored.
Lending Club only has scoreX scores of > 640 (I couldn’t find this documented on Lending Club website, but it was referenced in a wall street journal article here.) This corresponds to a credit grade of C or higher on Prosper (documented on Prosper here).
As a reminder Lending Clubs claims for the 1st 100 days…
| Loans issued | 172 for $1,046,000 |
Here is Prosper’s loan volume for AA-C credit grades from 2/16/2006 through 5/27/2006 (1st 100 days)…
| CreditGrade | LoanCount | LoanAmount | AvgRate |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA | 105 | $739,549 | 8.86% |
| A | 109 | $810,660 | 11.20% |
| B | 121 | $850,591 | 13.72% |
| C | 185 | $830,927 | 16.35% |
| 520 | $3,231,727 |
Here is the sql you can use on ProProsper to verify the Prosper numbers…
select CreditGrade, count(loanid) LoanCount, sum(amountborrowed) LoanAmount, avg(borrowerrate) AvgRate
from loan
where originationdate>=’02/16/2006′ and originationdate<(cast('02/16/2006' as datetime)+100)
group by creditgrade
Update… Here I compare loan volume with identical credit score bands and DTI: Lending Club vs Prosper — The First 100 Days Take 3
