2026 Strategic Priorities & Investments

LendingClub has made important progress on several strategic initiatives:

Corporate Rebrand: Rebranding to Happen BankTM, a bank that clears the way for people going places, providing fast and easy access to award-winning products that help them save more of what they earn and earn more on what they save. The new brand reflects LendingClub’s transition from a pioneering online lender to a diversified digital-first bank that combines deposits, lending, and a capital-light marketplace bank model. The company will transition to the new brand this summer. Rebrand-related costs are included in the 2026 financial guidance.

Home Improvement Financing: Having previously acquired foundational technology and key talent, LendingClub is now underwriting and originating home improvement loans through its initial partnership with the Wisetack platform. Inbound interest from additional potential partners has been significant. Home improvement financing is a $500 billion market where LendingClub has distinct advantages over incumbents and a meaningful opportunity for growth.

AI and Operating Efficiency: The company has over 60 active AI initiatives underway across marketing, product, engineering, operations, customer experience, and compliance, with the goal of improving efficiency and supporting margin expansion over time. AI-powered automation and agent support tools have already led to record personal loans operations production efficiency and a record-high >90% automation rate for issued loans in the first quarter.

New Marketing Channel Investment: LendingClub accelerated investments in new acquisition channels, including paid social and display, ahead of normal seasonal timing in order to build attribution models and data capabilities for the full-year 2026 growth plan. Successful execution of marketing and product initiatives contributed to a 31% year-over-year increase in originations growth in the first quarter.

Transition to Fair Value Option Accounting: Starting first quarter of 2026, LendingClub has adopted FVO accounting for all new originations of loans held for investment. This change aligns the accounting treatment for loans held for investment and held for sale, creating a consistent framework across the business and removing the front-loaded CECL reserve impact that corresponds to balance sheet growth. The company expects this transition will, over time, result in higher return on invested capital.

From a financial reporting perspective, under FVO, new loans are marked to fair value at origination, with subsequent changes in fair value, reflecting both credit performance and market conditions, flowing through non-interest income each quarter rather than through a separate provision for credit losses. The company will no longer record a CECL provision on new loan originations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Tangible Book Value (TBV) Per Common Share and Return on Tangible Common Equity (ROTCE). Our non-GAAP financial measures do have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under GAAP.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide management and investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and enable comparison of our financial results with other public companies.

We believe TBV Per Common Share is an important measure used to evaluate the company’s use of equity. TBV Per Common Share is a non-GAAP financial measure representing tangible common equity for the period (common equity reduced by goodwill and customer relationship intangible assets), divided by the ending number of common shares issued and outstanding.

We believe ROTCE is an important measure because it reflects the company’s ability to generate income from its core assets. ROTCE is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing annualized net income by the average tangible common equity for the applicable period.

For a reconciliation of such measures to the nearest GAAP measures, please refer to the tables on page 11 of this release.

Safe Harbor Statement

Some of the statements above, including statements regarding our entry into home improvement financing, our rebranding initiative, and anticipated future performance and financial results, are “forward-looking statements.” The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “outlook,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements include: our loan performance, our ability to continue to attract and retain new and existing borrowers and marketplace investors (including retaining long-term investors through the duration of their expected partnership and achieving the anticipated level of purchases); competition; overall economic conditions; our ability to integrate acquired technology; the interest rate and/or regulatory environment; default rates and those factors set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Get Free Sample Report – Healthcare Data Center Market

“Healthcare data center demand is moving in two directions at once: hospitals are reducing general-purpose owned halls while AI, imaging, research and cyber-resilience requirements add denser, higher-value infrastructure. Our model shows AI genomics and research computing growing 16.71% a year and wholesale or build-to-suit capacity growing 14.01%, while the owned-site share falls from 60.0% in 2025 toward 45.0% by 2035. That makes compliant hosted capacity, AI-ready infrastructure and recoverability the strongest growth pools through the forecast period.”

— Amit Jain, Senior Consultant, ICT & Emerging Technologies, DC Market Insights, report author

Why This Report Matters
Healthcare data centers sit at the intersection of patient-data availability, clinical application performance, medical imaging, pharmaceutical research and cyber resilience. The report helps health systems, life sciences companies, colocation operators, cloud and hosting providers, equipment vendors and investors size infrastructure demand while separating public-cloud migrations that leave the market from leased and owned capacity that remains in scope.

Why Do AI and Research Workloads Raise Healthcare Data Center Spend?
AI infrastructure changes the value of each megawatt. DC Market Insights estimates a conventional healthcare MW carries about USD 3.05 million a year of hardware, while an AI MW carries about USD 8.30 million. That premium comes from GPU systems, high-speed networking, large research datasets and the supporting power and cooling required for accelerated computing. The result is that market value grows faster than healthcare IT load as the accelerator share rises from about 5% in 2025 toward 22% by 2035.

Which Component Leads Healthcare Data Center Spending?
IT hardware remains the largest component, but colocation and hosting services grow faster as providers absorb EHR, imaging, backup and research workloads that institutions no longer want to operate in ageing hospital server rooms.

DC Exclusive: Hospital Data Center Exit Tracker
DC Market Insights tracks 14 named healthcare infrastructure moves from 2014 through 2026. Ten moved workloads to public cloud, two went to colocation and two built new owned sites. The pattern explains why owned data centers can lose share even while the overall market expands: general-purpose EHR estates leave older halls, while AI and research clusters arrive as new owned, wholesale or colocated capacity. The model therefore takes the owned-site share from 60.0% in 2025 toward 45.0% by 2035.

City of Hope Cancer Center Chicago Unites Industry Leaders for Health Technology Innovation Roundtable

Published

on

By

CHICAGO, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Faster access to care, more affordable treatment and policies that support innovation were central themes of a Health Technology Innovation Roundtable convened by City of Hope® Cancer Center Chicago on Thursday, October 15, at its hospital in Zion.

The discussion brought together Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) and leaders from City of Hope, Vantive and Zocdoc to examine how technology can help bend the health care cost curve, connect patients with care sooner and expand access to specialized treatment.

“Thank you to City of Hope in Zion for graciously hosting our recent roundtable to discuss how emerging health technologies are shaping patient care, access, and affordability,” said Schneider. “I am proud to represent a district where so many people work in the life sciences field to advance innovation. This convening was an important opportunity to hear directly from health technology innovators about the progress they are making to better connect patients with lifesaving care and how we can work together. I will continue to partner with City of Hope and the health technology experts throughout our district to ensure more people have access to the cutting-edge treatment and testing they deserve.”

The conversation spanned digital appointment scheduling, home dialysis, surgical robotics, artificial intelligence and remote monitoring. Zocdoc’s digital marketplace connects patients with available appointments, helping fill openings that might otherwise go unused. Vantive’s work in kidney care, including home dialysis, illustrated how technology can expand options for where and how patients receive treatment.  City of Hope’s experience with advanced surgery and wearable devices highlighted opportunities to bring specialized expertise closer to patients and support recovery at home.

“Technological advancements continue to evolve rapidly, and keeping up with them can feel like a job unto itself,” said Pete Govorchin, president of City of Hope Chicago. “Having an opportunity to pause and reflect on the progress we have seen thus far, as well as look ahead to what’s next alongside a distinguished panel of respected professionals, is critical.”

The discussion also addressed barriers that can keep innovation from reaching patients, including state licensing requirements, limited broadband, outdated regulations and reimbursement challenges. Access for rural communities and veterans was a recurring concern, alongside the need to measure how new technologies improve outcomes and reduce avoidable costs.

“As both a developer and adopter of advanced surgical technologies, City of Hope is well positioned to provide practical, evidence-based insights into how robotic surgery and other procedures, delivered remotely, could improve access, enhance quality, and support the future of patient-centered care,” said Dr. Yuman Fong, a City of Hope surgical oncologist.

Joining Schneider, Govorchin and Fong were Chris Toth, CEO of Vantive; Kyle Jackson, Vantive’s executive director of government affairs and market development; and Ilyssa Meyer, Zocdoc’s director of government affairs.

“I was proud to be part of an important convening of health technology experts discussing how we can continue to work together to connect more patients to care and innovative treatment. Rep. Schneider’s leadership on the bipartisan, bicameral Health ACCESS Act is an important next step in turning the innovations discussed at the recent roundtable into broader access to care,” added Meyer. “By reducing barriers to digital health services and online appointment scheduling, the bill can help connect more patients with the care they need.”

Kin Becomes First U.S. Home Insurer to Enable WebMCP for AI Shopping

Consumers can now use ChatGPT to efficiently shop Kin’s digital home insurance experience

CHICAGO, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Building on its recent announcement that AI shopping agents like Meta’s Muse are welcome to shop on Kin.com, Kin is making its digital home insurance experience even easier for AI to shop. Kin, the direct-to-consumer provider of insurance and home finance solutions for homeowners, today announced that it has enabled WebMCP in its digital quoting experience. The new capability gives ChatGPT a faster and more efficient way to interact with Kin.com on a consumer’s behalf.

Homeowners can go from their AI agent prompt to a customized Kin home insurance quote ready for purchase in minutes due to the data-informed Kin.com quoting process.

“We said that Kin will win the AI shopping experience, and we meant it,” said Kin Founder and CEO Sean Harper. “People are going to increasingly ask AI to do the tedious work of shopping for them. We want someone to be able to tell ChatGPT, ‘Help me shop for home insurance,’ and make it incredibly easy for that AI agent to shop Kin.”

Unlike plug-ins that require installation, WebMCP is an open web standard which lets AI agents work directly with Kin.com, creating a more efficient way to interact with Kin’s digital experience, and making it easier for them to help consumers shop for home insurance. For consumers, that means AI can do more of the repetitive work involved in insurance shopping, while Kin makes its experience easier for those AI agents to navigate. 

Built for the Way Consumers Will Shop

The launch builds on Kin’s announcement that it would welcome Meta’s Muse and other AI shopping agents to Kin.com rather than block them. In Kin’s testing, Muse was able to retrieve home insurance quotes after asking consumers only a handful of questions. Likewise, with ChatGPT, Kin testing found consumers could easily price out home insurance in a clear side-by-side view with minimal questions. The technology improves daily, and Kin is committed to implementing open standards like WebMCP, which ChatGPT supports for paid users on its browser-based platform. While free ChatGPT accounts cannot use this protocol, consumers can still easily get a quote at kin.com.

Kin was built to sell home insurance directly to consumers through a digital experience, without relying on external agents. It also analyzes thousands of data points about individual homes, meaning much of the information needed to generate a quote can already be gathered without asking the homeowner.

“We didn’t have to reinvent Kin for AI shopping,” Harper said. “We already built a direct digital experience, we already have the data to answer most of the questions about a home, and we don’t depend on someone in the middle to sell the product. AI shopping rewards a lot of the things we’ve been building for years.”

A New Way to Shop for Insurance

Kin expects AI agents to become increasingly capable of helping consumers gather information, understand coverage and shop across insurance providers. As those capabilities improve, Kin plans to continue making its digital experience easier for both people and the AI agents working on their behalf.

“Five years from now, opening a bunch of browser tabs and filling out the same information over and over is going to seem pretty antiquated,” Harper said. “You’ll tell your AI what you need and it will go do the work. We’ve built Kin to win in that world.”
