The Team
Upstart helps to originate more than $1BN in loans every quarter, but less than 5% of those loans are with Upstart’s own money. The other 95% come from Credit Unions, Banks, and Investors who entrust us with making sure they meet the regulatory requirements of any lender, their customers have a great experience, and of course that their loans perform. Upstart’s Servicing team makes this a reality through effortless, delightful experiences and precise, ML-driven decision making.
