How it works

1

Dealer requests loan offer

Dealer submits customer and vehicle information to your institution using their existing dealer portal.

Your institution passess the application data to Upstart via our secure Credit Decision API.

2

Credit decision delivered

Upstart’s AI model leverages over 1,000 variables to individually price applicants within your credit criteria, resulting in higher approvals and lower losses.

100% of applicants receive an instant credit decision.

Upstart’s Credit Decision API returns risk-based pricing and term options, or a decline.

3

Dealer receives decision and loan offers

Existing portal displays multiple deal structures to give the dealer more options.

4

Deal structure is finalized and loan is closed

Dealer can adjust the deal structure (i.e. add F&I products, change down payment, etc), and Upstart can provide instant repricing for faster closing.

Loan is originated using the existing process established with your dealer.
