SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Happen Bank, a subsidiary of Happen, Inc. (Nasdaq: HAPN) and a digital bank built for the Motivated Middle, today announced that it has crossed $10 billion in personal loans sold through its proprietary structured loan certificates programs, HAPS and LENDR. Launched in April 2023 and June 2025, respectively, the programs expand investor access to Happen Bank loans while providing the company with a flexible, scalable source of marketplace funding. 

This milestone reflects sustained demand for Happen Bank’s personal loan assets, with existing marketplace investors increasing their purchases and new marketplace investors continuing to join the platform. Together, HAPS and LENDR enhance Happen Bank’s ability to match assets with committed funding and balance marketplace loan sales with balance sheet growth, which provides more flexibility to generate attractive returns across a range of economic cycles.

HAPS, formerly known as SLCLC, is a two-tranche private securitization in which Happen Bank retains the senior note and sells the residual certificate on a pool of loans to a marketplace investor at a predetermined price, effectively providing built-in financing. Marketplace investors earn compelling levered returns with low friction and low-cost financing on a liquid security, and Happen Bank earns an attractive yield with remote credit risk.

Building on the success of the HAPS program, Happen Bank launched LENDR, which offers multiple note tranches, each with a credit rating from Fitch, to meet the needs of investors seeking an investment grade rating to invest in Happen Bank’s attractive asset class. The program further diversifies Happen Bank’s marketplace funding and expands the company’s ability to place loans efficiently across market conditions.

“Structured certificates, which are uniquely enabled by our bank status, allow us to provide investors with attractive, streamlined financing and efficient access to the asset class across changing market conditions,” said Clarke Roberts, Senior Vice President, General Manager, Marketplace at Happen Bank. “Crossing $10 billion through these programs in just over three years speaks to the value of these types of structures for investors. We’re proud that Happen Bank was the first in the industry to offer both high-quality personal loans and streamlined financing at scale, cementing our status as a provider of choice in this asset class.” 

Throughout its 20-year history, Happen Bank has offered a range of industry-first, unique product structures to expand investor access to consumer credit, broaden distribution, and improve liquidity for all investors.
