LendingTree Launches Comparison Shopping Platform for Personal Loans
CHARLOTTE, N.C., (Aug. 12, 2013) — LendingTree, the nation's leading online source for competitive loan offers, has launched a new comparison shopping platform for the emerging personal loan market segment. Through lender integration and collaboration, the new personal loan shopping experience has been streamlined and optimized to simplify the process for borrowers and financial institutions.
Lenders and borrowers benefit from enhanced offer and offer detail pages which link directly to pre-populated loan applications on the lenders' site, greatly simplifying the steps from loan offer to origination. Because LendingTree's upgraded personal loan product surfaces multiple offers, borrowers have more options and the control to choose the offer that works best for them.
"We see significant growth in the personal loan space as financial institutions are increasing their appetite for risk on uncollateralized loans and peer-to-peer lending fuels a new kind of investor," said Nikul Patel, LendingTree's Chief Product Officer. "Borrowers are using personal loans to do big ticket projects and consolidate debt. Because rates can vary, we're confident consumers are well served by comparison shopping for personal loans. We're excited that we are able to help borrowers and lenders become more efficient in the personal loan space."
The personal loan comparison shopping platform marks LendingTree's sixth major lending product update this year.
