Checking your rate with LendingClub Bank has absolutely no impact to your credit score because we use a soft credit pull. A hard credit pull that could impact your score will only occur if you continue with your loan and your money is sent. The good news is that a personal loan could also positively impact your credit down the road by showing a history of on-time payments and reducing your total debt (as long as you don’t add new debt, like increased credit card balances).
