LightStream is an American online lender that is a division of Truist Bank.[1] Truist was formed in December 2019, as the result of a “merger of equals" between SunTrust Bank (of which LightStream was a division) and BB&T.[2]
Debuting in March 2013, LightStream is a financial services technology company that provides unsecured, personal loans to people with good credit rating, through a digital process.
On April 20, Truist announced that it will fold LightStream into its broader consumer business, a move designed to reduce the costs of operating a separate brand.
