P2P Lending launches in Canada

P2P Lending has been in Great Britain since 2005 in the form of Zopa. Prosper launched a year later in the U.S., followed by Lending Club, Circle Lending/Virgin Money, and Zopa in the US. I’ve checked in with Prosper from time to time, and as I’ve reported before, it’s growing at an astonishing rate.

Now, William Azaroff of Vancity CU and Jim Bruene of NetBanker report that today IOU Central has launched, giving Canada its first forum for P2P Lending.
