Members Who Regularly Save Are Rewarded With a 5.30% Annual Percentage Yield (APY)

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LendingClub Bank, America’s leading digital marketplace bank and a subsidiary of LendingClub Corporation (NYSE: LC), announced the launch of LevelUp Savings, a high-yield savings account that rewards members with competitive rates for making ongoing monthly deposit contributions.

“We’re excited to offer LevelUp Savings, an all-new deposit product that rewards members who regularly engage with us, while still allowing us the flexibility to manage funding costs as Fed rate policy eases,” said Scott Sanborn, LendingClub CEO. “It’s just one example of how we’re designing products and experiences that provide a win-win for both our members and the company.”

Key Features of a LevelUp Savings account:

Earn a LevelUp Ratei of 5.30% APY, 11x the national average, by depositing $250 per month into the LevelUp Savings accountEarn a Standard Rate of 4.80% APY in months when the deposit minimum isn’t metNo minimum opening balance required and no minimum balance requirement to earn rateNo fees, ensuring that every dollar saved works harder for membersConvenient 24/7 access to funds, with members able to easily manage their account online or through our mobile applicationFree ATM card for flexible access to money plus ATM Fee Rebatesii with unlimited rebates of fees charged by ATM ownerAccounts are FDIC insured, meaning members can trust that their money is safe with LendingClub Bank and protected up to the maximum allowed by law

“LevelUp Savings is one way we are encouraging our members to make smart financial decisions and rewarding them for it,” said Mark Elliot, Chief Customer Officer at LendingClub. “Available to everyone but designed with our borrowers in mind, the product helps borrowers become savers by removing typical barriers to entry, such as minimum balance requirements, and rewarding their smart financial decisions with additional interest. Members who contribute at least $250 to their account each month – a contribution threshold designed to fit within most of our members’ budgets – earn the LevelUp Rate, which provides extra yield over our Standard Rate. The idea is that borrowers who have paid off their loan can now put that monthly payment, which they’ve already budgeted, to work for them in a savings account that earns a great interest rate. As their savings grow, they’re building a financial cushion to better meet unexpected financial emergencies and reduce their reliance on high-cost credit cards.”

To maintain the LevelUp Rate, members must deposit at least $250 each month. Members automatically earn the LevelUp Rate for the first two statement cycles, giving new accountholders time to set up recurring deposits to meet the minimum requirement and continue earning the LevelUp rate. Members who aren’t able to meet the $250 monthly deposit threshold will earn the Standard Rate of 4.80% APY.

For members who want to lock in a consistent rate over time, LendingClub Bank offers CDs with 6-month to 5-year terms. For more information on LendingClub Bank savings accounts, visit: https://www.lendingclub.com/personal-deposits.

Fathom Applauds Introduction of the FRONTIER Act, the First Federal Blueprint for Independent AI Verification

Published

By

Reps. Lori Trahan (D-MA-03) and Jay Obernolte (R-CA-23) introduce a bill to build a competitive marketplace of independent verifiers for frontier AI models.

WASHINGTON, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fathom welcomes the introduction of the FRONTIER Act, the most complete federal framework yet for independent, third-party verification of frontier AI. The legislation is built to earn public trust as AI technology continues to accelerate. As frontier systems begin to take autonomous action in the world, the gap between what these models can do and our ability to keep them in check is widening. FRONTIER is the starting point to close that gap.

“AI governance keeps running into the same wall. The technology is hard to measure and it moves faster than any law can keep up with,” said Andrew Freedman, Co-Founder and CEO of Fathom. “Trying to write the perfect rules and freezing them in place won’t work. What will work is a competitive market of independent verifiers who are accountable for real-world outcomes and who the government can actually count on. The FRONTIER Act shows we can move fast and still get this right.”

The bill gets the fundamentals correct. It sets one public standard – the adequate mitigation of catastrophic risk – and holds both the AI companies and their independent verifiers accountable to it. FRONTIER does not freeze a single testing method into statute. Instead, it licenses competing verification organizations, allows them to sharpen their methods, and gives the government the power to revoke a license when a verifier’s work does not hold up in the field. That is how you build a system that keeps pace with the science instead of falling behind it.

Fathom thanks Reps. Trahan and Obernolte for their leadership, and for their courage in releasing a discussion draft, inviting scrutiny, and incorporating substantive improvements from across the field. One priority improvement as the bill advances: giving the government a fuller range of tools to act upstream – for pushing companies to close identified gaps in risk mitigation early, rather than only once a catastrophe is imminent. We are committed to working with these sponsors, committees of jurisdiction, and Congressional leadership to continue refining the bill in the weeks and months ahead.

About Fathom
Fathom is an independent nonprofit whose mission is to build a governance architecture that helps society navigate the transition to a world with AI by fostering trust, safety, and innovation. Fathom has developed and championed the independent verification model for AI and works with policymakers across the country to put it into practice. Learn more at http://fathom.org.
