The US platform saw its median monthly payment on loan to income ratio and the weighted average borrower rate of originations increase from June to July.
The weighted average borrower rate for originations rose by 0.25 per cent over the prior month. Prosper said this was driven primarily by the increasing mix of C-HR loan originations.
The median monthly payment on Prosper loan to Income ratio increased by 0.12 per cent to reach 5.21 per cent in July.
