Consumers working to build their credit profile have historically found it difficult to find an attractive entry point and are often forced to rely on costly alternatives. With the Prosper Card, people get access to the affordable credit they need when they need it, as well as tools and resources to help them stay on track with their personal finances, said David Kimball, CEO, Prosper Marketplace. Since launching in 2006, our platform has facilitated $20 billion of affordable credit solutions for more than a million consumers across personal loans and home equity lines of credit, and we are excited to reach even more people with our credit card product.

The Prosper Card was designed with simplicity and personal empowerment in mind. Starting with a simple online application, consumers can apply for the Prosper Card in minutes with the option to select their own due date and no annual fee for the first year by signing up for autopay2. This creates the best opportunity for making on-time payments on a regular basis, which is an important element of maintaining a healthy credit profile.

Prosper Card members also gain access to exclusive benefits designed to improve their financial well-being, including customizable financial education classes which can be personalized to meet their goals. The Prosper Card also gives cardholders access to the My Prosper Card App, which helps them monitor their spending, safeguard against fraud, and manage payments.
