Our take
Lending Club is a digital bank offering personal loans, auto loan refinancing, and debt consolidation to help individuals manage their finances. It provides flexible loan terms and competitive rates for a variety of needs, as well as high-yield saving and cash-back checking accounts, designed to help customers grow their money.
Focusing on digital solutions, Lending Club removes traditional brick-and-mortar branches, passing the savings on to customers through low fees and better rates. It connects borrowers with investors in a marketplace model and offers fast loan approvals and competitive interest rates.
To bolster its offering, the company acquired Tally Technologies' intellectual property (IP) to enhance its credit management services. It continues to develop and enhance its products and improve customer engagement in a bid to become a "top of mind" company with more active users.
