People who need to borrow money post a listing explaining why they need to borrow money. Consumers with money to lend bid on the loans including a rate of interest set by the potential lender.

In addition to posting detailed credit and income information, borrowers can post photos of themselves surrounded by whatever they think will help increase interest in theiir situation.

To help attract a loan, borrowers can align themselves with groups that employ entry criteria.

The sites generally charge an origination fee plus a percentage of the amount raised.
