Who Is Servicing the Loans?

Timing matters when refinancing an auto loan. So before opting for a new loan, make sure you understand when it’s a good idea to refinance and when it’s better to wait. 

A personal loan and credit card can be important financial tools, but it's important to understand how they each work before deciding which one to use. 

Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, while compound interest is calculated on the principal plus any accumulated interest. Due to the interest-on-interest effect, compound interest grows faster over time.

Debt-to-income ratio measures your monthly debt payments against your income. Improve it by paying down debts, increasing income, or avoiding new debt.

Someone might be declined a personal loan due to poor credit score, high debt-to-income ratio, or insufficient income. Next steps include improving credit, reducing debt, or applying with a co-signer. Consider checking your credit report for errors and exploring other lenders.

From groceries and diapers to Halloween costumes for pets, nearly 60% of American consumers prefer to shop online for everyday items that make life more convenient, comfortable, and enjoyable. And with rising prices showing no signs of stopping anytime soon, we’re pleased to introduce StackitTM from LendingClub Bank—a new browser extension that automatically finds and rewards eligible members with coupons and cash back for extra savings at more than 15,000 favorite online retailers.

Even in today’s low-yield, high-inflation environment, it’s essential to keep a certain amount of money in an easy-to-access checking or savings account for things like daily household and emergency expenses, or to meet short-term financial goals.

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.  

While several factors, including early loan payoff, can affect returns on your Notes, the biggest impact comes when members miss loan payments or stop making payments entirely.

LendingClub ended the purchase of new Notes on December 27, 2020, and retired the Notes platform on December 31, 2020.

Each Note in your account lists a status corresponding to the loan associated with the Note.

LendingClub makes every effort to bring late Notes back to "current" status. We'll update you with any collection activity related to your Notes through the Loan Performance page in your Member Center.

You can assign or reassign your Notes to different portfolios in your account from the My Notes page in your Member Center.
