LendingClub Brings P2P Lending to OpenSocial

LendingClub, the p2p social finance company, has announced the "company’s commitment" to build applications to support OpenSocial. LendingClub started as a Facebook application, moved into the wide open Internet and now moves to provide their application across the OpenSocial framework.

Distribution rarely hurts and LendingClub does a good job of staying in the spotlight by keeping up with the latest social offerings. Everyone on to the Google bus!

Press release quote, “Lending Club gives people the opportunity to leverage their existing social-network relationships at the time they really need them, whether it’s to finance a new business opportunity or profit from attractive investments,” said Renaud Laplanche, founder and CEO of Lending Club. “We’re taking the lead by building the first affinity-based social finance application across all the Google OpenSocial network partners and empowering people to leverage their existing networks online to bypass the banks and get better rates by borrowing and lending directly within communities they trust.”
