Insights

LendingClub's new LevelUp Checking represents a strategic move to enhance cross-selling, reduce defaults, and increase customer retention through innovative rewards.

LendingClub's launch of LevelUp Checking reveals a sophisticated strategy to deepen customer relationships while improving loan performance. The account's structure—offering 1% cash back on essential purchases and 2% back on on-time loan payments—creates a dual benefit mechanism that addresses several business challenges simultaneously.

The product intelligently incentivizes positive financial behaviors that directly benefit LendingClub's bottom line: on-time loan payments reduce default rates, while encouraging debit usage (versus credit) improves the company's transaction economics through interchange fees without the risk of credit losses. The 1.00% APY on balances above $2,500 further encourages deposits, improving the bank's funding profile.

What's particularly strategic is the ecosystem approach evident in this launch. By making LevelUp Checking exclusively available to existing members, the company creates a compelling reason for customers to maintain multiple LendingClub products. This should boost retention metrics while reducing customer acquisition costs through cross-selling rather than new customer acquisition.

The timing aligns with consumer sentiment data showing 31% of consumers prioritize rewards in financial products, and 42% citing groceries as their largest category of increased spending. By targeting cash back specifically for gas, grocery, and pharmacy purchases, LendingClub is positioning its rewards where customers feel the most immediate impact in today's economy.

LevelUp Checking Delivers Cash Back for On-time Personal Loan Payments

SAN FRANCISCO, June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LendingClub Bank, America's leading digital marketplace bank and a subsidiary of Ìý(±·³Û³§·¡: LC), today announced the launch of , the latest in its growing set of smart, simple, and rewarding digital-first financial solutions.

LevelUp Checking is designed to reward LendingClub members for making smart financial decisions and using money they have rather than money they borrow. Members will have the opportunity to receive 1% unlimited cash back1 when they use their LevelUp Checking debit card for gas, grocery, and pharmacy purchases. What's more, if they have a LendingClub personal loan, they will have the opportunity to get 2% of their monthly payment in cash back2 for making on-time loan payments from their LevelUp Checking account –Ìýdemonstrating that LendingClub products deliver even more value when used together.

Additional features include:

  • 1.00% APY on balances with $2,500 or more3
  • No account fees
  • No minimum balance requirements
  • Unlimited ATM rebates
  • Early paycheck access with direct deposit
  • Free transfers

"LevelUp Checking delivers cash back for essential purchases like gas and groceries while stacking on additional cash back for our borrowers who make on-time payments to their LendingClub personal loan," said Mark Elliot, LendingClub's Chief Customer Officer. "By offering rewards consumers typically seek by using a credit card, we're fundamentally changing how our members spend � rewarding them for using money they have instead of money they borrow, and recognizing their smart money moves."

A recent LendingClub survey4 found that 31% of consumers consider rewards or cash back as their top priority when choosing a credit card versus 29% who cite interest rates as their top priority. At the same time, because of higher living costs, 42% cite food and groceries as their largest category of increased credit card spending. Taken together, providing cash back rewards for essential purchases that consumers make most often makes sense.

"Our emphasis on rewards is intentional," continued Elliot. "We fundamentally believe that our members should be rewarded for making smart everyday financial choices, and we're building that idea into everything we do. That's why LevelUp Checking members have the opportunity to earn 1% cash back when they use their debit card instead of credit, and why LevelUp Savings members earn a higher rate when they deposit at least $250 per month to their account. And we compound that value when members use multiple products together � rewarding our personal loans borrowers with the opportunity to earn 2% cash back for on-time loan payments made with their LevelUp Checking account."

LevelUp Checking is only available to current LendingClub members, who unlock these cash back benefits when they enroll in direct deposit. People can become a member by taking out a LendingClub personal loan, opening a LevelUp Savings account, or a Certificate of Deposit (CD). Once they become a member, they'll also gain access to LendingClub's highly rated mobile app and useful free tools like DebtIQ, which helps members monitor and manage their credit.
