How did we decide to partner with Upstart? I think it was a mix of the right product, the right delivery channels, and using technology we didn’t have the ability to create in house. Importantly, it was also a cultural fit. It felt like Upstart was an extension of the Abound team.

Jake Darabos, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer

Our partnership with Upstart is definitely one of the strongest that we have at KEMBA. Upstart has invested in us—we’re in this together, so let’s get this done.

1 From 2021 through 2023, Upstart delivers 10-31% higher net annualized returns compared to the unsecured consumer loans benchmark from DV01 for loans with less than 18% interest and credit scores greater than 680. The benchmark includes lenders like Upgrade, Sofi, Lending Club, Marlette, Prosper and Avant.

2 Based on analysis of Upstart internal performance data, as of April 25th, 2025 tracking annualized default rates for all originations made 2018-Q1 to 2024-Q4 “vintages”, separated by Upstart Risk Grades and FICO scores.

3 To determine Net Promoter Score (NPS) score, Upstart used a third-party service to administer surveys to personal loan applicants following an applicant’s acceptance of a loan on Upstart’s platform. While the NPS methodology used by Upstart’s third-party service was designed to be consistent with the methodology used in the referenced benchmark study, any differences in the timing or method in which the surveys were administered could negatively impact the comparability of such NPSs.
