Our Methodology

To come up with our star rating for personal loan companies, LendingTree considered 22 data points across three categories: accessibility, rates & terms and repayment experience. The data points reflect every step of the process to shop and apply for, borrow and repay personal loans. A five-star lender, for instance, has flexible eligibility requirements, offers you the chance to prequalify without commitment and supports you in zeroing your balance.

The 22 data points, culled from the lenders themselves, determine the overall rating. We score lenders consistently, sometimes awarding partial points, so that you can make apples-to-apples comparisons when shopping around.

LendingTree isn’t paid for conducting these reviews, and lenders don’t have control over their content. With our reviews and ratings, we aim to give our users the objective and exhaustive information they need to make the best possible decisions.

Our Verdict
LendingClub provides flexibility to those looking to consolidate debt or apply for a personal loan with a cosigner. However, those with good or excellent credit may find lower rates and no fees elsewhere.
