Our Goal

Our goal is to offer our users more value and a better experience than they receive from their traditional bank. We fulfill that goal with affordable and responsible loans and cards, and no fees and high rewards checking accounts.

Who We Are

Who We Are

Upgrade’s founding team pioneered fintech 15 years ago. In 2017 we launched Upgrade to offer our users more value and a better experience than they receive from their traditional bank. In the last five years, over 15 million people have applied for an Upgrade Card or loan through Upgrade, and we have made over $15 billion in affordable and responsible credit available to our customers. Our innovative Upgrade Card combines the flexibility of a credit card with the predictability an installment loan. Our latest offering, Rewards Checking, gives customers access to no-fee checking accounts with 2% cash back rewards on common everyday spending. Learn more about the team.

Personal loans made through Upgrade feature Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) of 7.46%-35.97%. All personal loans have a 1.85% to 8% origination fee, which is deducted from the loan proceeds. Lowest rates require Autopay and paying off a portion of existing debt directly. Loans feature repayment terms of 24 to 84 months. For example, if you receive a $10,000 loan with a 36-month term and a 17.59% APR (which includes a 13.94% yearly interest rate and a 5% one-time origination fee), you would receive $9,500 in your account and would have a required monthly payment of $341.48. Over the life of the loan, your payments would total $12,293.46. The APR on your loan may be higher or lower and your loan offers may not have multiple term lengths available. Actual rate depends on credit score, credit usage history, loan term, and other factors. Late payments or subsequent charges and fees may increase the cost of your fixed rate loan. There is no fee or penalty for repaying a loan early.

Accept your loan offer and your funds will be sent to your bank or designated account within one (1) business day of clearing necessary verifications. Availability of the funds is dependent on how quickly your bank processes the transaction. From the time of approval, funds sent directly to you should be available within one (1) business day. Funds sent directly to pay off your creditors may take up to 2 weeks to clear, depending on the creditor.
