Yahoo Finance LendingClub Exceeds $3 Billion in Loans Sold Through Its Structured Certificates Program
SAN FRANCISCO, June 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LendingClub Corporation (NYSE: LC), the parent company of LendingClub Bank ("LendingClub"), America's leading digital marketplace bank, today announced that it has surpassed $3 billion in loans sold through its Structured LendingClub Loan Certificates program, which launched in April 2023.
"Our structured certificates program is gaining strong momentum among our loan investors because they recognize the value of consumer credit as an asset class, the quality of our underwriting, and our streamlined financing solutions," said Scott Sanborn, CEO of LendingClub. "The success of this program, which is unique to us, is another indicator of our status as a provider of choice in this asset class."
LendingClub's structured certificates program is a two-tranche private securitization in which LendingClub retains the senior note and sells the residual certificate on a pool of loans to a marketplace investor at a predetermined price, effectively providing built-in financing.
This program, enabled by LendingClub's unique marketplace bank model, benefits both marketplace investors and the bank. Marketplace investors earn compelling risk-adjusted levered returns with low-friction and low-cost financing on a liquid security, and LendingClub earns an attractive yield with remote credit risk.
"As the industry leader, we have a track record of substantially lower delinquencies compared to our competitive set, which is key to delivering strong returns for ourselves and our marketplace investors," continued Sanborn. "That outperformance has resulted in existing partners renewing their commitments, and new investors coming to the LendingClub platform."
Throughout its long history, LendingClub has offered a range of industry-first, unique product structures to expand investor access to consumer credit, broaden distribution, and improve liquidity for all investors. The structured certificates program is just the latest example of that leading innovation.
