Zopa Makes A Little Noise

After writing about Prosper last week I was SO PUMPED to see the type of comment back from Dave at Zopa. It was exciting to see Zopa taking a stance and bragging a bit. Here is Dave making a little noise despite the competition. Keep it up Dave!

Hi Chad,Dave from Zopa here - just wanted to say that we're more than just 'ticking'! We've just signed up our 50,000th member - which isn't bad :-)Prosper is very interesting to us - we think that some of their ideas are good, and some not so wonderful. We're going to be watching them very carefully over the next weeks and months - before we launch in the US sometime in Q2. Our belief is that Zopa is a much safer place for lenders - we have automatic diversification of lenders money and (as far as we can tell) a stronger credit team to weed out dodgy borrowers - but time will tell.We look forward to beating them on their home territory!

Hey Prosper, you out there?

Present. We're not really into smack-talking, though. We'd rather let our site speak for itself.

It is great to see services like these and it makes me excited for the future of finance in the technogical world.
