Who owns LendYou

Back

According to the Google Play Store listing, LendYou is owned and operated by Zero Parallel, LLC .

That is all the public information available. There is no detailed information about who runs Zero Parallel, LLC, where they are located, or what other businesses they operate.

The Danger of Unregistered or Opaque Loan Apps

This is a serious warning sign. Legitimate financial companies are transparent about who owns them. They have public leadership teams. They have physical addresses. They have regulatory filings you can check.

When a company hides behind an LLC with no public information, ask yourself: What are they hiding?

The worst-case scenario: You borrow money through LendYou. You get matched with a predatory lender. The lender harasses you. You try to complain to LendYou. There is no phone number. No physical address. No one answers emails. You are alone.

How to Protect Yourself When Ownership Is Unclear

  • Step 1: Do not assume that just because an app is on the Google Play Store, it is safe. Predatory apps get through the review process all the time.
  • Step 2: Search for "Zero Parallel, LLC" plus words like "complaint," "lawsuit," or "BBB review." See what comes up.
  • Step 3: Check if Zero Parallel, LLC is registered in your state. Most states have a business registry search online.
  • Step 4: If you cannot find any information about the parent company, treat the app as high-risk.
  • Step 5: Consider this simple rule: If a company will not tell you who they are, do not tell them who you are. Do not give your personal information to anonymous apps.

A Note About Unregistered Loan Apps in General

Borrowing from unregistered or opaque loan apps is like playing Russian roulette with your financial future. You might get lucky. Or you might end up:

  • Paying 300% APR interest
  • Being harassed by calls to your friends and family
  • Having your data sold to marketers or scammers
  • Unable to find anyone to complain to when things go wrong

The small convenience of fast cash is not worth these risks.
