Fynanz and GreenNote might be the first P2P banks to really work

As far as I know, all P2P banks are having a hard time to get transactions finished. There is a lot of interest on their activities, but it is mainly buzz. Volume is not so high. But this could change with Fynanz and GreenNote. I really like their student to student type of system.
