About WikiLoan Inc.


A leading Peer-to-Peer lending platform in the United States

100% proprietary technology built from the ground up

A fully automated system built for security and efficiency


WikiLoan is a website that provides tools for peer-to-peer borrowing and lending. People can use the tools on the website to borrow and lend money among themselves at rates that make sense to all parties. WikiLoan provides management tools that allow Borrowers and Lenders to manage the process by: providing loan documentation, promissory notes, repayment schedules, email reminders, online account access, and online repayment.

Borrowers go through a simple process to create a loan listing between $500 and $25,000. They set the rate they are willing to pay for the loan, get their WikiScore, and invite friends in their network to view the listing.

Lenders receive an invitation to view a listing and are provided with the borrower's WikiScore, debt-to-income ratio, and the loan repayment schedule.

Once the loan is fulfilled, WikiLoan compiles the promissory note and provides it to all involved parties. WikiLoan handles on-going notifications and provides access to online payment systems to ensure a smooth repayment process.

WikiLoan does not sell, rent or share members' personal information with third party marketers.

Investor Relations

The management team believes the market opportunity for WikiLoan is significant, relative to the ongoing financial crisis, bank consolidations and changing consumer behavior regarding online lending, borrowing and banking, as outlined below:

The Credit Squeeze
Globally, the recent credit squeeze has led banks to increase interest rates, tighten their lending practices and institute ever tougher borrowing requirements, making it increasingly difficult for would-be borrowers, particularly those with credit challenges seeking small loan sizes of $25,000 and under, to gain access to capital via traditional lending institutions.

The Lending "Gap"
Current market conditions have created an opportunity for private lenders to step-in and fill the small loan lending "gap" increasingly vacated or made more difficult to access by traditional lending institutions. In response, individual lenders and borrowers are connecting directly with one another online, without the use of a financial institution or "middle man", for the purpose of exchanging capital through peer-to-peer lending.

Peer-to-Peer Lending
Peer-to-peer lending is one of the fastest growing sectors of the financial services industry, a trend that is expected to continue for the foreseeable future

Sector: 6153 - Short-term business credit

How Lending Works, in Detail

1. Sign up to open a lender account Fill out a short application, go through identity verification, and set your bank account preferences. It takes about 10 minutes, and you’re ready to lend.

2. Browse Loan Listings Lenders have the option of searching for the friend or family member that asked for the loan, or searching through the borrower listings to find other interesting candidates. Be sure to use the filters to help narrow your search by amount, type and credit rating.

How to Read Loan Listings
The three most important items to look at when reading a loan listing are:

a. The DTI, or the Debt-to-Income ratio. This is a figure that calculates how much of a person’s income is spent paying his or her debts. The higher one’s debt to income ratio is, the more of their monthly income that is solely devoted to paying back debts.

b. The Credit Score. This is a measure of credit risk calculated from credit reports using a standardized formula. Factors that can damage a credit score include late payments, absence of credit references, and unfavorable credit card use.

c. The Interest Rate. This is the rate that is charged or paid for the use of money. Usually, a High Rate = High Risk.


3. Agree to the terms We give you a simple legally binding document agreed upon by both you and the lender, which allows you to structure the loan in a way that works for you both.

4. Collect Automatic Payments WikiLoan offers Automatic Payment to Borrowers, which gives Lenders peace-of-mind. If the Borrower does not sign up for auto-pay, WikiLoan sends email reminders when payments are due. The reminders have easy “click here to pay” payment options, so there are never any obstacles.
