Personal Loans
Get Up to $40,000 and Low, Fixed Rates
Why Choose a Personal Loan?
A personal loan allows you to borrow money from a lender for almost any purpose, typically with a fixed term, a fixed interest rate, and a regular monthly payment schedule. Collateral is usually not required and personal loans typically have lower interest rates than most credit cards.
Since interest rate and loan terms on a personal loan are fixed, you can select a loan and payment amount that fits within your budget—which is great when you’re consolidating debt. Plus, you’ll know the exact date your loan will be fully paid off. Using a personal loan to consolidate high-interest credit card debt might even help improve your credit score. *

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a personal loan?
A personal loan allows you to borrow money from a lender for almost any purpose, typically with a fixed term, a fixed interest rate, and a regular monthly payment schedule. Collateral usually is not required.
How can I use a personal loan?
You can use a personal loan for almost any purpose, with a few exceptions. LendingClub Bank members often use personal loans to pay off credit cards at a lower rate, consolidate debt, or take care of unexpected home repairs and medical bills. A few ways a personal loan from LendingClub Bank cannot be used include anything related to education after high school, making investments (such as securities or cryptocurrency), or illegal.
Will I qualify for a personal loan?
To qualify for a personal loan from LendingClub Bank you must be a U.S. citizen at least 18 years of age with a verifiable bank account. (We accept applications from all states except Iowa and the U.S. territories.)
Your loan application will be evaluated based on several factors, including the information provided by you and the credit bureaus, your credit score, and your ability to repay. For the lowest rates, it helps if you have a higher than average credit score, a low debt-to-income ratio, and a good credit history. Often, applying with another person can help you qualify for a better rate and/or larger loan amount.
Learn how adding a coborrower can help you get approved for a personal loan.

Will checking my rate affect my credit score?
Checking your rate from LendingClub Bank has absolutely no impact to your credit score because a soft credit pull is used. A hard credit pull that could impact your score will only occur if you continue with your loan and your money is sent.
The good news is that a personal loan could positively impact your credit down the road if you’re able to show a history of on-time payments and reduction in overall debt (that means no new debt, such as higher credit card balances). *
