This Thanksgiving weekend, we at Lending Club have many blessings to count. Like you, we are thankful for wonderful friends and families, good health, and good prospects for the New Year.

We are privileged to have an active and enthusiastic customer base, including talented lenders who funded $2.6M in loans while making a 12.26% net return (after losses and fees) for themselves, to the benefit of very responsible borrowers who are continuing to build up an outstanding track record of on-time payments. We are grateful for the warm reception we’ve received from the media and especially the blogosphere. Of course, we also appreciate the many Facebook members who embraced us from day one and helped us to get where we are now.

We are particularly thankful for our friends and family members, who haven’t seen much of us over the past six months. Finally, we are grateful for each other. Lending Club has become its own family, and we are so fortunate to have found each other.

From all of us to all of you, we hope you had a very Happy Thanksgiving!
