In August, LendingPoint, reached a milestone. We surpassed $100 million in loans made to approximately 10,500 valued customers. This achievement makes us proud — mostly because in the less than two years since our company began, we’ve given that many people access to money when they needed it. As a result, we’ve helped them on the way to becoming financially stronger.

Those who don’t know us yet might wonder, “Why LendingPoint?” There are plenty of online lenders out there — what makes LendingPoint special?

You see, we do things differently. By understanding a consumer’s full financial picture rather than just looking at a credit score, we help people with credit scores in the 600-700 range who are on their way up. As our founders like to say, we want to understand a consumer’s past, but we care more about their future. We are proud to give our fair credit customers loans with fair rates and flexible terms so that they can choose what works best for their unique circumstances. Making fair, fair again is what drives us.

At LendingPoint, we keep things simple and focused on how to improve the lives of our customers. That’s why we originate the loans we make ourselves and keep them right here, in-house, to service for the life of each loan.

We believe that access to affordable loans should be simple and fast. We give each of our customers the best, individualized service we can give because we know that it’s really our customer relationships that count. And, when we occasionally make a mistake, we own it and make it up to the customer — because we always want to improve. But, don’t just take our word for it. See what our customers have to say:

“Helpful loan with a very easy process — I took out a personal loan to consolidate debt and cover an emergency trip across the country. The process was very easy and the results were helpful. This loan helped me pay off credit card debt to get my utilization rate down and my credit score up. As someone with a just OK credit score, this was very helpful.”

“Excellent company – personal touch — I called on a Wednesday at 2pm, the funds were in my account by 7am the next day. The staff and everyone I spoke with were friendly and never made me feel like just another call. Personal touch – happy to find a company with emphasis on that – thank you Jessica and Lacey! – 5 star service – will def recommend.”

“Went the extra mile – Thank you so much to LendingPoint and especially Debby. I was in a tight jam waiting longer than expected for a work visa to come so that I could start working in another country. I ran out of savings while waiting for everything to go through. Debby and LendingPoint were able to get me funding I needed in a timely manner to get by and survive until my work visa came and my paychecks started.”

We’re excited to look ahead to the next $100 million loaned to more great customers!
