Is Lendio Placing You Into a Legal MCA ?
As of 2026, our firm has identified several RED FLAGS in Lendio's marketplace model that may result in businesses being placed into products that are not true merchant cash advances, but rather disguised high-cost loans from partner lenders.
Our attorneys have reviewed hundreds of contracts originated through Lendio. If a Lendio partner lender has placed a UCC lien on your receivables, debited your account without consent, or trapped you in a high-cost advance you did not fully understand, you need legal defense immediately.
Grant Phillips Law has successfully litigated over 600 MCA and fintech lending cases and provides nationwide representation to businesses just like yours.
Lendio's
Red Flags Identified
-
Marketplace Accountability Gap
As a broker marketplace, Lendio connects businesses to 75+ lenders but disclaims responsibility for the predatory terms those partner lenders impose after funding. -
Undisclosed Referral Fees
Lendio earns referral commissions from partner lenders, creating incentives to place businesses into higher-cost products without full disclosure of this conflict of interest. -
Misleading APR Comparisons
Lendio markets itself as a comparison tool, but factor rate products are presented without standardized APR disclosures, hiding true annualized borrowing costs from business owners. -
Partner Lender UCC Liens
Funders placed through Lendio routinely file blanket UCC-1 liens on all business receivables, locking merchants into debt obligations with no ability to refinance or exit. -
Data Sharing and Lead Selling
Business and personal financial data submitted through Lendio may be shared across multiple partner lenders, resulting in unsolicited offers and predatory outreach without consent.
How Lendio Operates
Broker Model Liability Shield
Lendio positions itself as a neutral marketplace to avoid liability for partner lender abuses, leaving business owners with no recourse when placed into predatory MCA products.
Hidden Commission Structure
Lendio earns undisclosed origination fees and referral commissions from partner lenders, incentivizing placement into higher-cost products rather than the most suitable option for the borrower.
Mass Data Sharing
Financial and personal data submitted through Lendio's platform is shared across dozens of partner lenders, resulting in unsolicited outreach and exposure to multiple high-cost funding offers.
Partner Lender UCC Liens
Funders matched through Lendio file blanket UCC-1 liens on all business receivables at funding, trapping merchants in debt arrangements with no ability to refinance or access outside capital.
