SAN FRANCISCO, May 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, LendingClub Corporation (NYSE: LC), America's leading digital marketplace bank, is proud to join Civic Alliance, a nonpartisan coalition of more than 1,200 businesses working together to encourage every American to participate in shaping our country's future.  Civic Alliance strengthens our democracy by encouraging civic participation, supporting safe, accessible and trusted elections and building an engaged civic culture.

As part of LendingClub's participation in Civic Alliance, we will continue to encourage all our stakeholders to participate in democracy and advocate for safe, accessible, fair and transparent voting within the United States.

"Civic engagement is a cornerstone of a healthy democracy," said Armen Meyer, Head of Public Policy and Regulatory Strategy at LendingClub.
