What UpStart can offer you
The average 3-year loan on Upstart will have an APR of 17% and 36 monthly payments of $30 per $1,000 borrowed. The average APR on Upstart is calculated based on 3-year rates offered in the last 1 month. Estimated savings are calculated based on the credit profiles in which the funds were used for credit card refinancing. Upstart calculates estimated savings by deriving current credit card APR using minimum monthly payment and 1% of the principal balance. Then Upstart compares estimated credit card APR and Upstart APR to determine median savings per borrower. Upstart loans are from $1,000 to $50,000.
The minimum loan amount is $6,000 for borrowers in Ohio and $7,000 for borrowers in Massachusetts. The loan amount you qualify for is based upon the information submitted in your application. Loans used to fund education related expenses are subject to a 3 business day wait period between loan acceptance and funding in accordance with federal law. While most of our borrowers opt for automated recurring payment for ease of use, we also accept payments by check or one time electronic payments.
