Personal loans reached a record high of $138 billion in the US in 2018, per TransUnion. And there's increasing consumer demand: A record-high 19.1 million consumers took out personal loans in Q4 2018 — an increase of 2 million from a year earlier in Q4 2017. For its part, LendingClub sees around $1 billion in monthly loan volume.
Digital-first lenders also often have less restrictive loan approval criteria than banks do: They might take other factors into consideration like cash flow or employment history, whereas banks largely prioritize a prospective borrower's credit score. Further, to differentiate, lenders will offer concessions: Social Finance , for example, offers protection if a borrower becomes unemployed, allowing them to put their loan on hold while they look for a new job.
