About Happen, Inc.

About Happen, Inc.

Now trading as Happen, Inc. under the Nasdaq ticker HAPN as of June 2026, the nationally chartered digital bank formerly known as LendingClub has originated more than $100 billion in loans for over five million members since its 2006 founding. Supervised by the Federal Reserve and the OCC, the bank earns revenue through personal loans, auto refinance, and point-of-sale financing distributed via its own balance sheet and a loan marketplace serving asset managers, financial institutions, and insurance companies.

The bank's two core revenue streams are marketplace revenue, comprising origination fees from borrowers and servicing fees on loans sold to marketplace investors, and net interest income earned on loans retained on its own balance sheet, funded by FDIC-insured deposits including LevelUp Savings and LevelUp Checking accounts. Marketplace investors include asset managers such as private credit funds, other financial institutions, and insurance companies; the company has sold approximately $8 billion of loans through its Structured Program since launch through the end of 2025. Commercial lending is concentrated in U.S. Small Business Administration-guaranteed loans after the company ceased originating commercial real estate loans and equipment leases in early 2023. The company flags concentration risk on its marketplace platform itself, noting that a limited number of marketplace investors purchase a large volume of loans, and that a group of its largest investors previously reduced purchases materially following the Federal Reserve's 2022-2023 rate increases.

Show full overview

A regulatory proposal introduced in January 2026 by the presidential administration would cap consumer credit interest rates at 10%, and if that cap were extended beyond credit cards to personal loans, Happen's core product, since a substantial share of loan customers use the personal loan product specifically to refinance higher-rate credit card debt, would no longer be economically viable to offer to many of the bank's current customers. Separately, the June 2026 shift of the common stock listing from the NYSE to Nasdaq under the HAPN ticker coincided with the corporate rename from LendingClub to Happen, Inc., a rebranding of the underlying regulated national bank rather than a change in its OCC charter or business model.
