While America becomes a nation of privatizing profits and socializing losses, Prosper account balances are FDIC insured.

The recent financial markets meltdowns are causing a global panic. If you are a Prosper lender, you can rest assured that your Prosper cash balances are FDIC insured.

Prosper itself is not a bank and does not take deposits but the funds that lenders keep with Prosper are held at Wells Fargo Bank which is FDIC insured.

Is there any other specific advantage other than security, in depositing at Wells Fargo Bank?

Might have something to do with Paul Hazen, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Wells Fargohaving having joined the Prospers Board of Directors.

... or not.
