    Welcome to Mac Lenders, the official web-page for the <a href="http://augp.maclenders.com">Apple User Group</a> on <a href="http://augp.maclenders.com">Prosper.com</a>
    <h2>What is Mac Lenders? </h2>
    Mac Lenders is a community of Macintosh Enthusiasts who have gathered together to collectively lend funds to existing and new Mac users. We use a P2P money-lending system run by Prosper, whose business model is similar to eBay, but for helping borrowers get low rate loans. Lenders receive the gratification of helping to grow the Mac platform and earn interest on funds they lend. The borrower receives funds to buy a new Mac at a lower interest rate than credit card financing or <a href="/Apple-credit.php">Apple Credit</a> would provide.
	
	<h2>What is Prosper.com?</h2>
	Prosper.com is an online marketplace for peer-to-peer lending and borrowing. P2P lending allows borrowers to request loans directly from individual lenders, rather than through traditional banks or high interest credit cards. This is especially beneficial for those seeking low rate financing and those who may not be-able to acquire loans via traditional means. Borrowers can request loans up to $25,000, they set the maximum interest rate they are willing to pay and lenders bid on listings based on the borrower's credit rating and offered interest rate.
