Our free service connects borrowers with multiple loan offers, helping them compare options and select the best loan for their individual needs.
In the late 90s, after a frustrating experience shopping for a home mortgage, Doug Lebda founded LendingTree, an innovative company designed to give consumers more control over the lending process. LendingTree.com became the first online marketplace to connect borrowers with multiple lenders competing for their business.
Use the Internet to submit a single loan request to multiple, competing lenders
Since 1998, LendingTree.com has facilitated more than 23 million loan requests and $185 billion in closed loan transactions. Today, we are the nation’s leading online lending destination, providing access to purchase and refinance home loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, auto loans, student loans, personal loans and credit cards.
In 2004, LendingTree acquired Home Loan Center, Inc. (doing business as LendingTree Loans), a direct lender that enables customer to select from multiple offers working with a single point of contact. Loan offers are based on rates and terms provided by wholesale mortgage banks and investors who frequently update their pricing and products.
Whether through the LendingTree lender network or LendingTree Loans, we provide borrowers with a convenient one-stop destination for all their home loan and lending needs.
