Borrower Fees
Borrower Origination Fee
We assess an origination fee for providing the services of screening borrowers and issuing the loans. This origination fee is determined by the loan grade of the listing and term as displayed in the following tables:
| Loan Term | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sub-Grade | 1 | 2 | 3 - 5 | 1 - 5 | 1 - 5 | 1 - 5 | 1 - 5 | 1 - 5 | 1 - 5 |
| 36-Month | 1.11% | 2.00% | 2.00% | 4.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% | 4.00% |
| 60-Month | 3.00% | 3.00% | 3.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% |
The origination fee is included in the Annual Percentage Rate calculation and is subtracted from the loan proceeds prior to disbursement.
For example, if you receive a $5,000 36-month loan at an interest rate of 6.03% with a 1.11% origination fee of $55.50, you will receive a loan amount of $4,944.50 and will make 36 monthly payments of approximately $152.18 at a 6.78% APR.
In the case of a $20,000 60-month loan at an interest rate of 7.51% with a 3.00% origination fee of $600.00, you will receive a loan amount of $19,400.00 and will make 60 monthly payments of approximately $400.85 at an 8.80% APR.
Not all loan terms and rates are available to all loan applicants or requests.
There are no application fees, and you do not pay any origination fee if the loan does not get issued.
Unsuccessful Payment Fee
When an automatic payment fails and is rejected by the borrower's bank, an Unsuccessful Payment Fee is charged to the borrower to cover the cost Lending Club incurs on the transaction. This could happen if there is insufficient balance in the borrower's bank account, the bank account has been closed or if the account is otherwise suspended. Each attempt to collect the monthly payment is considered a separate transaction, so an Unsuccessful Payment Fee may be assessed for each failed attempt. The amount of an Unsuccessful Payment Fee is $15.
Late Payment Fee
When a borrower's payment is late after a 15-day grace period, a Late Payment Fee is assessed on the 16th day to compensate investors for the delay. This fee is prorated and then passed on to the investors. The amount of a Late Payment Fee is the greater of 5.00% of the unpaid installment amount, or $15. This fee may be charged only once per late payment.
Check Processing Fee
If a borrower elects to make payments via check, there will be a $15 processing fee per payment. There is no additional charge if the borrower makes payments via direct debit from their bank account (ACH).
