LendingClub Rebrands as Happen Bank — P2P Lending Pioneer Completes Digital Bank Transition
Finextra·low signal
Pioneering P2P lender LendingClub is rebranding as Happen Bank, completing its multi-year transition from a marketplace lending platform to a full-service digital bank. The rebrand signals that the original P2P lending model has been fully absorbed into traditional banking infrastructure. For fintech observers: the company that kicked off alternative lending in 2007 now considers 'bank' the stronger brand than 'tech platform.'
