Is my savings account FDIC insured?

We’ve rounded up some of the most essential personal finance to-do’s.  

Consolidating debt often helps your credit—at least over the long term. A lower interest rate and a single fixed monthly payment make it easier to pay down debt, and lower credit card balances and on-time loan payments often help raise your score.

From obtaining a loan or credit card to landing a new apartment or job, having a strong credit score helps open certain doors in life. Yet many of us cling to incorrect assumptions about, or simply don't understand, what factors are used to determine our scores. 

Rising prices are making the necessities of life—food, housing, healthcare, transportation costs—and just about everything else, more expensive. What’s behind inflation? And how can you manage your money as your buying power shrinks?

Paying down debt can be challenging, but with a little creativity you may be able to tackle your debt faster.

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.  

You can check your account activity in online banking, or the LendingClub app to see if you’ve met the required deposit for the month.
