1 Approval numbers compare the 2020 loan approval rate by the Upstart model and a hypothetical traditional credit decision model. The APR calculation compares the two models based on the average APR offered to borrowers up to the same approval rate. The hypothetical traditional model used in Upstart’s analyses was developed in connection with the CFPB No Action Letter access-to-credit testing program, is trained on Upstart platform data, uses logistic regression and considers traditional application and credit file variables.
2 As of 3/31/2022 Fully automated loans are defined as loans originated end-to-end (from initial application to final funding) with no human involvement
3 To determine Net Promoter Score (NPS) score, Upstart used a third-party service to administer surveys to personal loan applicants immediately 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. Source of bank NPS scores: Forbes, citing Temkin Group Insight Report, NPS Benchmark Study, 2018, October 2018.
4 In an internal study, Upstart replicated three bank models using their respective underwriting policies for personal loans and evaluated their hypothetical loss rates and approval rates using Upstart’s applicant base in late 2017. Such results represent the average rate of improvement exhibited by Upstart’s platform against the three respective bank models.
