Statement layout

Your lender statement is a snapshot in time of your lending account. The statement is created as of the end of the day (11:59 PM) on the last day of every month, and is made available in "Your Account > Statements" a few days later.

Your lender statement is divided into six primary areas:
  • Account summary: A summary of the distribution of all the money in your lending account, including liquid funds, funds loaned, and funds tied up in bids and standing orders.

  • Account activity: Balance sheet of the flow of funds into and out of your account during the current statement period.

  • Account credits: A categorized summary of the flow of funds into your account during the current statement period.

  • Account debits: A categorized summary of the flow of funds out of your account during the current statement period.

  • Active loan summary: The activity of active loans in your account, including defaults that may have occurred during the statement period.

  • Loan-by-loan details: A loan-by-loan detailed description of all loans held and all activity on those loans.


Account summary

The account summary shows the distribution of all the money in your lending account, including liquid funds, funds loaned, and funds tied up in bids and standing orders.

Specific fields include:

  • Available for bidding: The amount of funds which are available for bidding, not including funds which are already in active winning bids and active or paused standing orders. These funds can be transferred out of Prosper at any time. When monthly payments are made by borrowers, any group leader rewards and additional fees (servicing, collection, NSF, bank draft, etc.) are deducted; the remaining funds will be returned to the "Available for bidding" balance.
  • Active loan value: The value of funds which are currently in loans to borrowers. This is a gross accrued value of your outstanding loans, and changes on a daily basis, according to the accrual schedule of your loans.
  • Payments in transit: Borrower payments which have been initiated but have not yet reached your account. Funds from these payments will be reflected in your account balance between 2-4 business days later.
  • Winning bids:The amount of funds which are currently held in active bids. If any funds are outbid (even partially outbid), those funds will be returned to the "Available for bidding" or "Standing order funds" balances, depending on where they came from.
  • Winning bids pending review: If you are a winning bidder on a listing that has been funded, but the borrower has not verified his or her bank account with Prosper or Prosper is conducting further review on the listing, origination funds will be held for up to 7 days while the borrower verifies the account, and the amount of your bid (or bids) will appear in this line item until the account is verified. If the borrower does not verify a bank account within 7 days, funds bid will be returned to the "Available for bidding" balance. (This line item was formerly known as "Loans pending account verification".)
  • Standing order funds: The amount of funds which are currently held in standing orders which have not been turned into bids. If a standing order is cancelled, any remaining funds will be returned to the "Available for bidding" balance.
  • Total account value: The sum of all above fields, representing the total value of your lending account on Prosper.

The first set of fields includes basic information about the loan, the borrower, and your participation in the loan.

The second table is a summary of loan-specific accruals and payments over the current statement period:
