At The Lending Center, we begin the lending process by listening to your needs. We'll help you define those needs and determine how to best get there. We'll look at your whole credit picture to determine which loan solution is the best value for you. What's more, we'll help educate you on the loan process and the decisions and choices along the way.

The Lending Center is headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois — a suburb of Chicago, Illinois — our family of companies will soon have 30 office locations across the country.

The Lending Center was founded by President Ed Zaibak and Chief Executive Officer, John Kocher. Together with their management team, they have built The Lending Center into a lending institution that's not only customer-focused, but offers extensive experience. In fact, their management team has over 100 years of combined experience. Each team member is one of the best in the industry, with a proven track record in lending.
