LendingClub CEO is ‘super-excited’ to hire Boston tech talent

By agreeing to acquire Boston-based Radius Bank, LendingClub Corp. is seeking to snatch up a coveted bank charter, potentially making it the first U.S. financial services technology company to be able to collect deposits and do all the other things a bank can do. But there are other benefits to buying Radius, too, LendingClub CEO Scott Sanborn said in a recent interview. Namely, he’s eager to use Radius’ Boston headquarters as a base to snag technology talent and other types of workers in the region.
