In February 2024, LendingClub’s agreement with the OCC expired, allowing the fintech company to pursue faster growth opportunities with its excess capital. The agreement, which was imposed at the time of LendingClub’s acquisition of Radius Bank, imposed capital restraints and growth limits on the company.
