LendingClub
LendingClub is a San Francisco-based online lending marketplace founded in 2006. The company connects borrowers seeking personal loans with investors and institutional capital, and went public on the NYSE in December 2014 under the ticker LC. Before the Radius acquisition, LendingClub operated without a bank charter, selling substantially all loans it originated to third-party investors. The Radius deal shifted that model, allowing LendingClub to fund and hold a portion of its loan originations directly.
