Does Lending Club Call your employer?

As with most loans, you'll need income to repay the loan, and you might need to verify that income (by providing documents like W-2 Forms or tax returns, or Lending Club might call your employer). You'll also need to link a U.S. bank account to Lending Club for funding. Lending Club will also check your credit scores.

Is Lending Club good for debt consolidation?

Great option for those looking for consolidation and a lower interest rate than other loan options. Thanks LendingClub! My single monthly payment over 36 months is far easier to manage than all the other debts on their own, the interest rate is lower, and I can still pay it off in 3 years.
