Read moreClocking in at an $8+ Bn market cap, Lending Club is the latest IPO in the fintech space, and one that takes aim at the core functions of banking with person-to-person, or crowd-sourced, lending.

Read morePrivacy may no longer be realistic for mortgage borrowers. This being the case, the new SEC rule-making with respect to Reg AB II, designed to balance considerations of transparency for RMBS investors with considerations of privacy for borrowers, may be a case of the generals fighting the last war.
