Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Lending Club offers peer-to-peer lending with benefits for both parties: the lender earns interest, whilst the borrower pays less interest than they would to a traditional bank. Through its marketplace, Lending Club is seeking to improve the financial health of its customers by helping them consolidate their debts.

Lending Club went from a small group on Facebook to a fully-fledged financial institution offering refinancing and small business products in just ten years of operation. The company now has more than 4 million members, and it was one of the first to offer online lending in an era that has seen a significant shift towards digital-first banking.

In February 2021, the company announced its acquisition of Radius Bank. Dubbed a fintech disrupter initially, some saw its move into banking as a step towards a more traditional model. A year after closing the acquisition, however, LendingClub merged the marketplace model and traditional banking, allowing for the growth and innovation of a fintech with the financial profile and resiliency of a bank.
