How LendingClub compares to other banks

LendingClub vs. SoFi

Both LendingClub and SoFi are online-only banks and similar in that they charge little to no fees and offer high yields on their deposit accounts. However, SoFi doesn’t offer certificates of deposits. If that’s what you’re primarily in the market for, or you want to have one bank for all of your deposit accounts, LendingClub may be the better choice.
