SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LendingClub Bank, America's leading digital marketplace bank and a subsidiary of LendingClub Corporation (NYSE: LC), has been recognized by Nerdwallet as 2023's Best Personal Loan for Fair Credit.

NerdWallet, Inc. (Nasdaq: NRDS), a platform that provides financial guidance to consumers and small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), found in their recent survey that only 30% of Americans know where to find reputable information when they have questions about financial products and topics. In order to better help consumers and small to mid-size businesses understand their options when it comes to their finances, they've announced the winners of their 2023 Best-Of Awards. This year's awards recognize the best financial products across Banking, Credit Cards, Insurance, Investing, Mortgages, Personal Loans, Student Loans, and Travel Rewards.

LendingClub is one of the country's leading providers of personal loans. Through this core business offering, the company helps its members save money by using technology to lower the borrower costs on its lending products while offering fair and transparent access to credit. In addition, LendingClub is reaching communities that have been underserved by traditional banks, such as those in highly concentrated markets and in areas that have fewer bank branches per capita. The company is building a bank that is centered around empowering members on their path to better financial health by enabling access to a broad range of financial products, services, and educational resources, all designed to help them pay less when borrowing and earn more when saving.

"LendingClub is honored to be recognized by NerdWallet with a 2023 Best-Of Award in the Personal Loan category for Fair Credit," said Scott Sanborn, CEO of LendingClub. "Our data and technology advantage allows us to make it easy to access responsible credit at a fair price, which we believe should be attainable for everyone.

NerdWallet's survey, conducted online in November 2022 by The Harris Poll among over 2,000 U.S. adults, also found that one-third of Americans (33%) plan on making new financial goals for 2023. In order to identify the best products for consumers, the Best-Of Award winners were selected by NerdWallet's knowledgeable subject matter experts with years of experience reviewing and evaluating these personal finance products for Nerdwallet.com. Over 40 Nerds from NerdWallet's editorial team compared rates and rewards of over 1,000 products, did side-by-side comparisons, and conducted objective ratings and reviews to help consumers confidently choose the best products for them.
