Company
LendingTree is the nation’s largest online lending marketplace, connecting customers with multiple lenders to find the best deals on loans, credit cards, savings accounts, and insurance. Our goal is to help people save money by providing a way to shop for loans and compare lenders, enabling them to make their best financial choices.

Our teammates are some of the brightest, most talented people you’ll ever work with. We care more about your smarts than we do about the kinds of clothes you wear (but please, do wear clothes to work!), and we’re pretty good about rewarding innovation, creativity, and the knack for just getting stuff done (we even have an award for employees called the GSD, “Get Stuff Done”).

Come work with us! LendingTree promotes diversity and inclusion; we thrive because of these values. We do not discriminate based on race, color, religion (or creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status.
