Summary
Upstart plans to apply for an insured national bank charter and Federal Reserve approval to become a bank holding company. If approved, Upstart Bank could access deposit funding and lend directly to consumers, reducing operational, regulatory and financial complexity and potentially lowering borrower costs. Annie Delgado, Upstart’s Chief Risk Officer, is the proposed bank CEO. Upstart says banks, credit unions and institutional funds will remain the capital source for the vast majority of platform loans.
Investor Takeaways
- Regulatory decisions and any conditions will determine whether Upstart can establish the bank and realize the stated cost, funding and borrower benefits; continued participation by platform funding partners is also a stated risk.
