LendingTree operates an online consumer platform that connects borrowers and insurance shoppers with financial service providers through multiple branded marketplaces. The platform enables consumers to compare multiple offers across diverse financial products—including mortgages, personal loans, credit cards, auto loans, and insurance—in a single search, with proprietary matching algorithms routing consumer requests to qualified Network Partners. The company generates revenue primarily through match fees paid by financial service providers and insurance carriers when they receive consumer inquiries, supplemented by closed-loan fees and per-approval fees, while consumers use the service at no cost.
