Lending Club

How Lending Club Works

  1. Borrowers apply for loans.
    Investors open an account.
  2. Borrowers get funded.
    Investors build a portfolio.
  3. Borrowers repay automatically.
    Investors earn & reinvest.

We bring you a more efficient model.

By allowing our members to directly invest in and borrow from each other, we avoid the cost and complexity of the banking system and pass the savings on to you. Both sides can win: better rates to borrowers and better returns to investors. It's that simple.
