What can you use a personal loan from LendingClub for?
LendingClub offers a range of personal loans, through which you can borrow up to $40,000. Your eligibility depends on your existing financial situation, your credit rating, and your ability to repay. Further details of your options are as follows:
- Debt consolidation loans. If you have multiple debts and want to consolidate them into a single loan, this is an option to consider. Not only can you look forward to making one payment each month, you can also save money on interest. You can repay this unsecured loan early without paying any penalties.
- Home improvement loans. You can use the funds from this unsecured loan to improve your home, whether it be remodeling your kitchen or adding an extra room. Payments remain fixed throughout the loan term and you can repay the loan early without penalty.
- Car financing. The car financing that LendingClub offers is unsecured, so you don’t have limitations when it comes to model and make. What also helps is that you can make extra payments as and when you like, which means you can save on interest.
Leading Club also provides personal loans for major purchases, vacations, relocations and other purposes.
