What Should an Investor Expect When a Loan Payment Is Late?

From buying gifts to traveling, entertaining, decorating, and even cultivating a holiday wardrobe, you may have a lot on your shopping list. By preparing a holiday budget ahead of time—and sticking to it—you’ll be better equipped to make it through the holiday season without breaking the bank.   

If you’ve missed payments and creditors are calling, you may be feeling like you’re drowning and desperate for a lifeline. Even if you proactively seek solutions, finding a solution to becoming debt-free can be difficult.

Taxes may not be the most exciting thing you'll ever do, but if you have a personal loan, knowing the potential tax implications can help when it comes time to file your return.

If you’re in the market for a new car, you might be wondering if your current credit score will help you get a good deal or hold you back. Your credit score is an important part of the process, but it’s not the only factor. Though good and excellent credit scores help when taking out any line of credit, it is possible to buy a car with a less-than-ideal score.

Chances are, you’re managing money differently today than you were a few years ago. If your shopping, spending, and money management have moved online and onto your phone, you might want to consider whether an online-only bank is a fit for you.

Since 2007, LendingClub has been on a mission to deliver a world-class experience to all our members. This month we took a moment to reflect on the more than four million members who have chosen LendingClub as their partner to help them reach their financial goals.

In March 2022, we hosted our first quarterly webinar where we celebrated our one-year anniversary as a digital marketplace bank. 

LendingClub completed the acquisition of Radius Bank in February 2021. At that time, in addition to the direct-to-consumer deposit business, we inherited a fintech partner program, and several lending businesses. As we reach the one-year anniversary of the acquisition, and in conjunction with the conclusion of a strategic review of our business operations, we have made the decision to discontinue certain businesses that don’t fit our mission.  

LendingClub charges an investor service fee of 1% of the number of borrower payments received by the payment due date or during applicable grace periods.

LendingClub pays Notes investors principal and interest equal to their pro rata share of loan payments tied to a Note, less any fees associated with the receipt of payments.

In some cases, we arrange payment plans with members to gradually bring their loans back to "current" status.

LendingClub Bank issues and services loans and collects principal and interest payments from members.

A member may change their due date. Loans with LendingClub Bank have due dates automatically set to the day of the month the loan was issued.
