Email - "An Update on Note Availability in Your State" (Now unavailable in NY+)

[jrl]

Almost  4 months and still no updates from LC!

Just talked to them earlier today, they're expecting to be back up in NY "soon" (take that with a grain of salt!) and will email investors when it's done. Hopefully it's not more than a few months.

Thank you very much for the solution. It really helps.

If they pull through, I’m back on board.

They told me back in November it would be "soon", so I wouldn't get my hopes up

I'd go with your previous comment ... don't get your hopes up.

Given the rate at which LC is reducing allocation to the retail market, I can't imagine that they would allocate $ toward lawyers to get one state back online for retail investors.

It was a few states, NY being one of the biggest.

FWIW, the population of the states with no access to the LC primary market currently accounts for a third of the US population. This includes the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 14th, 37th, 48th, and 49th most populated states. As far as I'm aware, Ohio (#7) and Pennsylvania (#5) never had access to the primary market.

Presumably, that means that around a quarter of LC's customers were kicked off the primary market in the fall.

Again, not getting my hopes up, but NY is 4th most populated state, with nearly 6% of the US population. TX, NY, and FL together represent over 1/5 of the US population. That means over 20% less profit/revenue from the retail segment if this keeps up.

well now i'm glad lending club blocked my state. Prevented me from reinvesting $20k in what would be really risky assets right now.

Seems like they unblocked 2 states. The blocked states are now: AK, FL, NC, NM, NY, PA, and OH (both primary and secondary market). NY is still on that list unfortunately, but it shows that some progress is being made.
