LendingClub Bank FAQs

 

Our Take

LendingClub Bank is an excellent online-only bank with competitive APYs across all of its products, except its checking account, which is to be expected. The bank does not charge a monthly service charge for any of its accounts except the Tailored Checking Account, which only requires a minimal opening deposit. The accounts that offer a debit card can be used at any of the more than 37,000 MoneyPass and SUM ATMs. The one downside is that accounts can only be funded via bank transfers from other banks. All in all, it is an excellent online-only bank for individuals who want a higher yield but don't mind not being able to visit a branch.
