Rebranding to Happen Bank in Summer 2026
SAN FRANCISCO – April 27, 2026 – LendingClub Corporation (NYSE: LC) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
“We’re starting 2026 with exceptional momentum, delivering 31% year-over-year growth in originations while achieving record pre-tax earnings of $67 million and ROTCE of 14.5%,” said Scott Sanborn, LendingClub CEO. “At the same time, we advanced key strategic priorities, including the upcoming rebrand to Happen Bank, expanding into the $500 billion home improvement loan category, and maintaining our credit outperformance. Our focused, proven strategy is successfully attracting and retaining high-quality members as we continue generating consistent, durable returns.”
First Quarter 2026 Results
Highlights:
•Announced new brand, Happen Bank, launching summer 2026, reflecting both our expanded banking capabilities and our core mission: to clear the way for people going places.
•Began underwriting and originating home improvement loans in April, leveraging distinct advantages over incumbents and opening meaningful opportunity for growth.
•Achieved $2.7 billion in origination volume, up 31% compared to the prior year, driven in part by the successful execution of product and marketing initiatives.
•Diluted EPS of $0.44, more than quadrupled compared to the prior year.
•Continued credit outperformance vs. competitor set, with over 40% lower delinquencies.
•AI-powered automation and agent support tools led to record personal loans operations production efficiency in the first quarter and a record-high >90% automation rate for issued loans.
•Total assets of $11.9 billion, up 14% year-over-year, primarily due to growth in loans and securities.
•Deposits of $10.2 billion, up 14% year-over-year, with 88% of deposits FDIC-insured.
•Robust available liquidity of $3.7 billion.
•Strong capital position with a consolidated Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.9% and a CET1 capital ratio of 17.0%.
Financial Performance:

•Total net revenue increased 16% to $252.3 million, compared to $217.7 million in the prior year, driven by higher loan sales and loan sale pricing and higher net interest margin on a larger balance sheet.
◦Net interest margin expanded to 6.28%, compared to 5.97% in the prior year, driven primarily by improved deposit funding costs.
•Provision for credit losses of $0.4 million, compared to $58.1 million in the prior year, due to strong credit performance and the 2026 election of fair value option (FVO) accounting for all new originations.
•Net charge-offs on total loans and leases held for investment improved to $42.5 million, compared to $76.1 million in the same quarter in the prior year, supported by strong credit performance.

2026 Strategic Priorities & Investments
LendingClub has made important progress on several strategic initiatives:
Corporate Rebrand: Rebranding to Happen BankTM, a bank that clears the way for people going places, providing fast and easy access to award-winning products that help them save more of what they earn and earn more on what they save. The new brand reflects LendingClub’s transition from a pioneering online lender to a diversified digital-first bank that combines deposits, lending, and a capital-light marketplace bank model. The company will transition to the new brand this summer. Rebrand-related costs are included in the 2026 financial guidance.
Home Improvement Financing: Having previously acquired foundational technology and key talent, LendingClub is now underwriting and originating home improvement loans through its initial partnership with the Wisetack platform. Inbound interest from additional potential partners has been significant. Home improvement financing is a $500 billion market where LendingClub has distinct advantages over incumbents and a meaningful opportunity for growth.
AI and Operating Efficiency: The company has over 60 active AI initiatives underway across marketing, product, engineering, operations, customer experience, and compliance, with the goal of improving efficiency and supporting margin expansion over time. AI-powered automation and agent support tools have already led to record personal loans operations production efficiency and a record-high >90% automation rate for issued loans in the first quarter.
New Marketing Channel Investment: LendingClub accelerated investments in new acquisition channels, including paid social and display, ahead of normal seasonal timing in order to build attribution models and data capabilities for the full-year 2026 growth plan. Successful execution of marketing and product initiatives contributed to a 31% year-over-year increase in originations growth in the first quarter.
Transition to Fair Value Option Accounting: Starting first quarter of 2026, LendingClub has adopted FVO accounting for all new originations of loans held for investment. This change aligns the accounting treatment for loans held for investment and held for sale, creating a consistent framework across the business and removing the front-loaded CECL reserve impact that corresponds to balance sheet growth. The company expects this transition will, over time, result in higher return on invested capital.
From a financial reporting perspective, under FVO, new loans are marked to fair value at origination, with subsequent changes in fair value, reflecting both credit performance and market conditions, flowing through non-interest income each quarter rather than through a separate provision for credit losses. The company will no longer record a CECL provision on new loan originations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Tangible Book Value (TBV) Per Common Share and Return on Tangible Common Equity (ROTCE). Our non-GAAP financial measures do have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under GAAP.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide management and investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and enable comparison of our financial results with other public companies.
We believe TBV Per Common Share is an important measure used to evaluate the company’s use of equity. TBV Per Common Share is a non-GAAP financial measure representing tangible common equity for the period (common equity reduced by goodwill and customer relationship intangible assets), divided by the ending number of common shares issued and outstanding.
We believe ROTCE is an important measure because it reflects the company's ability to generate income from its core assets. ROTCE is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing annualized net income by the average tangible common equity for the applicable period.
For a reconciliation of such measures to the nearest GAAP measures, please refer to the tables on page 11 of this release.
Safe Harbor Statement
Some of the statements above, including statements regarding our entry into home improvement financing, our rebranding initiative, and anticipated future performance and financial results, are “forward-looking statements.” The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “outlook,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements include: our loan performance, our ability to continue to attract and retain new and existing borrowers and marketplace investors (including retaining long-term investors through the duration of their expected partnership and achieving the anticipated level of purchases); competition; overall economic conditions; our ability to integrate acquired technology; the interest rate and/or regulatory environment; default rates and those factors set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
