Frequently Asked Questions

The debt paydown loan is a personal loan that helps you consolidate and pay down existing debt. Just tell us which accounts to pay and how much. If approved and when your loan is issued, we'll send these one-time payments to your creditors directly to reduce your current debt balances. After subtracting your origination fee and the money used to pay your creditors, any leftover cash will be deposited into your bank account. Then, you’ll pay down your new loan with LendingClub over time.
