You can make a one-time payment from your Member Center, by check, or over the phone.
Unless you specify otherwise, one-time payments go toward your current monthly payment first, and any additional amount beyond that goes toward your principal balance. So if you’ve already made your full monthly payment before your due date, additional payments are “principal-only” payments.
Keep in mind that if you make early payments that don’t fully cover your next upcoming payment amount, you’ll still be responsible for your full monthly payment. If you’re on autopay, your full monthly amount will still be withdrawn from your linked account as scheduled.
If your account is on track and you want an extra payment to go toward the principal immediately, you can indicate that when you make the payment. You can also fully prepay your obligation anytime. If you choose to pay off your account early, you won’t owe any more interest, and your monthly payments will end. Take note that some payment options might not be available for these principal and payoff payments.

Pay by check
If you want to make a principal-only payment by check, you can send us your check payment by postal or courier mail. Make your check payable to "LendingClub Bank" and write your name (if it's not on your check) and account ID on your check, along with the letters "AP" so we know to apply the funds as an extra payment. For example: AP #123456789 Jane Well.
