¹ When you check your rate, we check your credit report. This initial (soft) inquiry will not affect your credit score. If you accept your rate and proceed with your application, we do another (hard) credit inquiry that will impact your credit score. If you take out a loan, repayment information may be reported to the credit bureaus.
² If you accept your loan by 5pm EST (not including weekends or holidays), your funds will be sent on the next business day. When the funds will be available to you will depend on your bank's transaction processing time and policies.
³ As of publication in April 2026, and based on a comparison between the Upstart model and a hypothetical traditional model using Upstart data from Jan - Dec 2025. For more information on the methodology behind this study, please see Upstart's Annual Access to Credit results here.
⁴ Your loan amount will be determined based on your credit, income, and certain other information provided in your loan application. Not all applicants will qualify for the full amount. Minimum loan amounts vary by state: GA ($3,100), HI ($1,500), MA ($7,000). Maximum loan amounts may vary by state.
⁵ The full range of available rates varies by state. The lowest rates are only available to the most qualified applicants. A representative example of payment terms for an unsecured Personal Loan is as follows: a borrower receives a loan of $10,000 for a term of 60 months, with an interest rate of 19.08% and an 8.15% origination fee of $815, for an APR of 23.37%. In this example, the borrower will receive $9,185 and will make 60 monthly payments of $261. APR is calculated based on 5-year rates offered in June 2026. There is no downpayment and no prepayment penalty. Your APR will be determined based on your credit, income, and certain other information provided in your loan application. Not all applicants will be approved.
⁶ While most loans through Upstart are unsecured, certain lenders may place a lien on other accounts you hold with the same institution. There may be an option to secure your personal loan through Upstart with your vehicle, which will require a lien to be placed on the vehicle. It is important to review your promissory note for these details before accepting your loan.

Loan processing may be subject to longer wait times if additional documentation is required for review.
