“Our goal at Upstart is to offer the best rates and best borrowing process to all Americans—regardless of their credit score,” said Dave Girouard, co-founder and CEO of Upstart. “We’ve historically focused our AI platform on underserved consumers. But with our expansion into T-Prime, we’re helping our bank and credit union partners leverage their competitive cost of funding to win the business of our nation’s more affluent borrowers.”
T-Prime focuses on the almost half of Americans who have credit scores above 720, a demographic which money center banks and fintechs commonly serve. By leveraging Upstart’s AI platform, lenders of all sizes can make best-in-class offers that pair competitive rates with instant and automated approvals. In 2024, approximately 90 percent of Upstart-powered loans were approved with zero documents to upload and zero time to wait.
