Happen Bank is LendingClub's new name for its digital banking arm, offering deposits, loans, and payments without physical branches.

Why did LendingClub rebrand to Happen Bank?

To shed its lending-only image and position as a full-service digital bank, matching its evolution post-Radius acquisition.

Will Happen Bank replace traditional banks?

Unlikely fully, but it'll chip away at deposits from big banks via better rates and app convenience.
