Do you recommend a certain starting amount?

While we can’t make any specific recommendations, we have found that investors generate a more stable return when they diversify their investment through many different Notes, with each Note corresponding to the borrower loan of a different borrower.

Prosper’s notes are offered by Prospectus which is an official document that describes all the key information for the investments we offer. You can find our Prospectus on our website at the bottom of any page at www.prosper.com

For individual general investment accounts, the minimum amount you can invest is $25.

For IRAs managed by our designated custodians, Millennium Trust Company and Alto IRA, the minimum investment amount required to qualify for custodian fee reimbursement is $5,000 in year 1 and $10,000 in all subsequent years. Please note that these minimums refer to the amount invested in Prosper Notes -- cash balances will not be counted.
