"With all of the growth in loans and loan requests," he writes, "we want to reach out as widely as possible to current and now prospective lenders with our special offer: Lending Club will give a 5% cash bonus to all lenders who lend $5,000 or more between December 14, 2007 and February 3, 2008. This bonus can be used to lend or can be withdrawn to your linked checking account." Although there are no special sign-ups needed to participate in this program, if you want an additional $25-50 referral bonus you need to sign up through a referral link. Lending Club announced the accomplishment of the following milestones:
- Lending Club has reached $6MM in issued loans, and have over $3MM of loans in funding today
- The number of lenders has doubled in the last month
- The next system release (due in the next few days) offers a new set of lender tools that makes lending and account management even easier and incorporates feedback from many in our lending community
