Lendsquare

Lendsquare was a community-lending / peer-to-peer lending startup surfaced as a portfolio company of 500 Global and added to the API Evangelist network as a stub for enrichment. The company is defunct. As of the 2026-07-19 enrichment pass lendsquare.com no longer hosts a product - the domain is parked on GoDaddy/Afternic nameservers (NS1.AFTERNIC.COM) and every path redirects to a "/lander" for-sale page, so there is no website, developer portal, documentation, or API surface to catalog. The only surviving first-party artifact is the dormant GitHub organization github.com/lendsquare, created 2013-07-09 and last updated 2015-04-24, holding two Ruby repositories that are third-party libraries the team consumed rather than APIs it published - "area" (place / area-code / zip conversion) and "dwolla-ruby" (Dwolla's official Ruby API wrapper), the latter indicating Lendsquare moved money via the Dwolla API. This profile is retained as a historical, defunct record; no API artifacts were generated because none exist to capture.

Lendsquare is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Defunct, Lending, Peer-to-Peer Lending, and Financial-Services.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
