There is an expression in Russia “I am in ‘Zopa’” meaning “I am screwed” )

You mentioned Globefunder and Prosper and competitors in the U.S. Globefunder is not really P2P lending – the money is invested by institutions, not individuals.

Lending Club and Prosper are the two main P2P lending companies in the U.S. Zopa’s model is a little different since the lender purchases a CD at a set interest rate instead of selecting which borrowers they want to fund.

Prosper is also looking to launch in Japan this year.

As #5 mentioned, there are a couple companies that should launch soon in Canada – CommunityLend and IOU Central. IOU Central was open for a couple weeks last month before shutting down to meet regulatory requirements.

Gotta love the name. “Zopa” is an “Ass” in Russian.
