What Does LendingTree Do? People comparison shop for literally everything, so why not loans? That’s the question our founder, Doug Lebda, asked way back in 1997. Borrowing was built around the banks, not the people getting the loans. LendingTree helped change that. Today LendingTree is home to the nation’s largest network of lenders offering all kinds of financial products, including mortgages, auto loans, small business loans, personal loans, credit cards, and more. We also offer comparison shopping services for insurance, debt relief services and credit repair. Plus tons of helpful financial tips and articles written and fact-checked by experts in the field.
