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 rates 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 you improve your credit score, by diversifying your credit mix, showing that you can make on-time monthly payments, and reduce your total debt.

What Our Members Say

I shopped around for a debt consolidation loan and this was by far the easiest application process, disbursement of funds and best interest rate. Now, I’ll be debt free in just three years, saving thousands!

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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 costs.

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 funding any illegal activity.

To qualify for a personal loan from LendingClub Bank you must be a U.S. citizen or resident and at least 18 years of age with a verifiable bank account. (We accept applications from all U.S. states and Washington, D.C. We do not accept applications from 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.

You can apply and complete the entire process online in minutes from the comfort of your home using your phone, laptop, or tablet. Loan approval, and the time it takes to issue a credit decision, are not guaranteed and individual results vary based on creditworthiness and other factors.

If your loan is funded, your money will be sent directly to your creditors and/or deposited into your bank account.

You can help keep things moving along by checking your to-do list and making sure you have submitted all the documents and information requested.

Checking your rate from LendingClub Bank has no impact to your credit score because a soft credit pull is used. A hard credit inquiry, which is visible to you and to others, and which may affect a person’s credit score, only appears on the person’s credit report if and when a loan is issued.

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 a reduction in overall debt (that means no new debt, such as higher credit card balances).

Once your loan is approved, we’ll send the money straight to your bank account, and/or pay your creditors directly if you choose this option.

    Savings are not guaranteed and depend upon various factors, including but not limited to interest rates, fees, term length, and making payments as agreed. 

    Reducing debt and maintaining low credit balances may contribute to an improvement in credit score, but results are not guaranteed. Individual results vary based on multiple factors, including but not limited to payment history and credit utilization.

    A representative example of payment terms for a Personal Loan is as follows: a borrower receives a loan of $19,169 for a term of 36 months, with an interest rate of 10.49% and a 6.00% origination fee of $1,150 for an APR of 14.81%. In this example, the borrower will receive $18,019 and will make 36 monthly payments of $623. Loan amounts range from $1,000 to $40,000 and loan term lengths range from 24 months to 60 months. Some amounts, rates, and term lengths may be unavailable in certain states.

    For Personal Loans, APR ranges from 8.98% to 35.99% and origination fee ranges from 3.00% to 8.00% of the loan amount. APRs and origination fees are determined at the time of application. Lowest APR is available to borrowers with excellent credit. Advertised rates and fees are valid as of March 8, 2024 and are subject to change without notice.

    Checking a rate through us generates a soft credit inquiry on a person’s credit report, which is visible only to that person. A hard credit inquiry, which is visible to that person and others, and which may affect that person’s credit score, only appears on the person’s credit report if and when a loan is issued to the person. Credit eligibility is not guaranteed. APR and other credit terms depend upon credit score and other key financing characteristics, including but not limited to the amount financed, loan term length, and credit usage and history.
