Tech CU has partnered with Upstart to offer personal loans and auto refinance loans to more consumers.
“Technology Credit Union has always focused on delivering innovative financial solutions that WOW our members,” said Josh Bluhm, Chief Lending Officer at Tech CU. “Our partnership with Upstart allows us to expand that commitment by leveraging AI-driven, digital experiences to meet members where they are, with faster, smarter, and more seamless lending options.”
Tech CU started lending as a partner on the Upstart Referral Network for personal loans in September 2025, with plans to expand into auto refinance loans in early 2026. As part of the Upstart Referral Network, qualified personal loan applicants on Upstart.com who meet Tech CU’s credit policies receive tailored offers as they seamlessly transition into a Tech CU-branded experience to complete the online member application and closing process.
“We’re excited to welcome Tech CU to the family of Upstart lending partners,” said Michael Lock, Senior Vice President of Lending Partnerships at Upstart. “Through Upstart’s AI-powered lending platform, Tech CU is able to provide its offerings through a seamless digital borrowing experience while empowering more members to achieve their financial goals.”
