** Estimated savings are calculated based on the credit profiles of all loans originated as of September 01, 2016 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. Upstart then compares estimated credit card APR to Upstart APR to determine median savings per borrower. To evaluate savings on a loan you are considering, it is important to compare your actual APR from your existing debt to the APR offered by Upstart.

More than 36000 Upstart loans have been originated as of September 01, 2016.

^† 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. Borrowers have the flexibility to choose the repayment method that works best for them.
