LOS ANGELES–(COMMERCIAL THREAD) – PeerStreet, a real estate-backed loan investment platform, today announced the launch of PeerStreet Pocket, a new investment product that allows investors to earn more interest on their cash. The waiting list for PeerStreet users opens today, and early investors should have access to it soon.

PeerStreet Pocket was created in response to investor feedback and requests for alternatives to low yielding bank rates; it is more liquid than other PeerStreet investment products and is not directly tied to a given loan. Pocket offers high yield interest and monthly cash, all with no balances or minimum fees. “We are delighted to announce the launch of PeerStreet Pocket, which directly addresses the needs of our investors who want to ensure that every dollar they have on the PeerStreet platform works for them,” said Brett Crosby, Principal of customers and co. -Founder of PeerStreet.

Money invested in Pocket can be used to store loans before they are sold to investors in the PeerStreet market. Historically, traditional banks and financial institutions have been the source of warehouse capital. Now, thanks to Pocket, accredited investors are able to fulfill this function, further leveling the playing field between Wall Street and Main Street.

“PeerStreet has a strong focus on innovation and bringing new products to market that create long-term value for our customers. Pocket is a direct response to our clients’ demand for a liquid and interest-bearing alternative to holding cash. This is the next step in our evolution to deliver a holistic investment experience on our platform. Said Jeremy Guttenplan, vice president of products at PeerStreet.

PeerStreet Pocket accounts are available to PeerStreet accredited investors, with an initial deposit of only $ 1,000. Investors can withdraw funds from this account once per month, which can then be used to invest in individual loans or PeerStreet’s fund offering. Learn more about www.PeerStreet.com.
