Interview: Scott Sanborn, CEO of LendingClub

Becoming a bank, what today's fintechs can learn from history, navigating 2023's economy & more

Hey all, Jason here.

Welcome back to Fintech Business Podcast. In this episode, I talk to Scott Sanborn, CEO of “OG” fintech LendingClub, which made the transition from being a fintech “peer-to-peer” lender to acquiring and becoming a bank.

We had a chance to talk about:

  • The factors that drove LendingClub to become a bank

  • What lessons today’s fintech (and crypto) companies can learn from the challenges LendingClub has navigated

  • How LendingClub is responding to the changing economic climate

  • The opportunity and impact of “alternative data,” like cashflow-based underwriting, and novel products, like earned wage access

  • and more!
