To qualify for an AA Prosper Rating, applicants must have excellent credit and meet other conditions. For example, a five-year $10,000 loan with a Prosper Rating of AA would have an interest rate of 8.69% (9.99% APR) and 60 scheduled monthly payments of $306. Rate offered is based on Prosper Rating and other factors, and your actual rate may differ. 2According to the Bankrate.com Minimum Payment Calculator (http://bit.ly/wBsq2). This estimate assumes a 15.34% interest rate (national average variable credit card rate as of 3/26/2014, based on Bankrate.com data) and a minimum payment equal to 2% of outstanding balance plus any new interest. Your actual minimum payment, payoff time, and payoff cost will depend on your account terms and any future account activity.
