About

LendingClub, a major U.S. online personal loan provider, announced layoffs of 460 employees, representing about 30% of its workforce. The cuts, disclosed in a regulatory filing, are a response to the COVID-19 pandemic's severe impact on consumer and small business demand for loans. CEO Scott Sanborn cited the need to realign staffing with the current economic environment, with executives taking salary reductions as part of the cost-saving measures. The fintech company, which had a prominent tech IPO in 2014, is among several online lenders facing challenges due to the economic slowdown.
