Dallas, Texas (November 7 , 2011) – StockGuru Shines its Spotlight on WikiLoan, Inc. (OTCBB: WKLI), a peer-to-peer lending platform. The Company announced on November 4, 2011, that it has shifted its strategy. The Company closed up 36% on Friday at $0.15, trading in a fifty-two week range of $6.50 – 0.05.
After months of testing, the Company plans on shifting the model to a hybrid approach to Peer-to-Peer Lending. The Company has learned that the most valuable asset is the creation of a qualified pool of borrowers. This fact has led the Company to explore ways to dramatically cut the cost of credit reports and identity verification so the Company will be able to offer borrowers the ability to apply for loans for free. The Company is aggressively pursuing partnerships and reselling opportunities for lead generation and credit counseling.
“Over the coming months, we will continue to offer our Peer-to-Peer Lending Platform in its current form while concurrently working to establish a banking relationship and move to a licensed model to attract institutional lender participation. This change will allow the company to advertise to investors, charge loan closing fees, charge a percentage for a lender administration fee, and share in interest rate spreads with a bank,” said Marco Garibaldi, WikiLoan CEO.
