LendingClub has DESIGNATED that it will be renamed to Happen Bank. An e-mail was sent to existing users informing them of the change and a new website ‘https://www.meethapen.com/’ (linked to the LendingClub website) has been launched. The change will take place by July 2026 and there will be no changes to the branding site.
‘When is the name Happen official?
We’re planning to officially launch the new name by July 2026. As we get closer, we’ll be sharing updates and helpful information to guide you through the transition.
Is there anything in my account that changes?
There are no changes to the great products and services we offer, your account numbers, your account terms and conditions, or your linked accounts. You’ll continue to get the same products and services you’ve come to know and love – just with a new name.
Will I get a new debit card or checks?
yes! We’re working on a cool new debit card design and new check templates, which will be available this fall. Until then, you can continue to use your current card and checks as usual.’
LendingClub originally launched in 2006 as the first peer to peer lender to register with the SEC. In 2020 it acquired Radius Bank and closed its peer-to-peer lending platform. LendingClub/Happen Bank says “Our new name better describes everything we offer and why we exist.” I think getting rid of the LendingClub brand now that they don’t do peer to peer lending makes sense, but Happen is the most generic name I’ve heard lately and Meet Happen sounds more like a dating site than a financial institution. LendingClub is currently offering a $350 target bonus.
