Bank Partnerships

Banks and LendingClub

Banks of any size can earn solid returns and offer customers access to LendingClub products.

We began partnering with banks in 2014 to enable them to both purchase loans directly through the LendingClub platform or offer LendingClub products to their customers.

Today, nearly 50 banks—ranging in total assets of less than $100 million to more than $100 billion—have taken advantage of our partnership program. At 36%, banks represent the largest share of our investor base.
