Lending Club Blog

Posted by :: September 15, 2007 @ 7:37 am

Building a p2p lending company from the ground up is a great challenge, and with each big release of features and functionality, our team takes a few minutes to cheer and then begins to look ahead.

Now that we have expanded beyond Facebook and can serve borrowers and lenders in (almost all of) the United States, we are extending and revising our product roadmap. This is our chance to look ahead and confirm where we want to go next. We have lots of ideas – some clearly need to happen, some are great opportunities, and some are fairly speculative.

Some ideas will be rolled out to the site without fanfare and be made available generally. We will have others where we will use a test-driven approach.

To accomplish this, we may survey our current members for their input on proposed features and pilot programs to ensure that we take your own needs and experiences into account as we evolve the site. We may also ask people who are not yet members for input in order to evaluate different marketing
approaches.

If you have ideas that you would like to see implemented or concepts that could make Lending Club more useful, please send us your thoughts at feedback@lendingclub.com. We want Lending Club to address the market’s needs, and you are all important players in that market.

  1. Eric:

    I recently joined LendingClub as a potential borrower and have been
    really impressed with the responsive and flexible nature of the
    LendingClub team. I think you have a lot of advantages over the
    "competitor"! One quick suggestion. Your competitor allows people
    with loan listings to create banner ads that help to promote that
    loan listing - as well as help to promote recruiting new members. I
    just listed a loan and would love to promote it. Is there anyway to
    do this now or in the near future?

    Eric, thanks for the comment. That is an interesting idea that we
    should consider. Can you contact me directly so we can discuss your
    proposed requirements in some more detail? You can reach me at
    patrick.gannon@lendingclub.com Patrick from Lending Club
