Idaho Central Credit Union, the fastest-growing credit union in Idaho and one of the top-performing credit unions in the country, today announced its partnership with Upstart (NASDAQ: UPST), the leading artificial intelligence (AI) lending marketplace, to provide personal loans to more people.

“Idaho Central Credit Union is dedicated to helping members achieve financial success through the best lending product for all stages in their life,” said Edward Tierney, Chief Lending Officer of Idaho Central Credit Union. “We have partnered with Upstart to be a fintech partner to grow and scale our personal loan offering and membership through a seamless, automated lending experience.”

Idaho Central Credit Union became an Upstart Referral Network lending partner in July 2022. With the Upstart Referral Network, qualified personal loan applicants on Upstart.com who meet Idaho Central’s credit policies will receive tailored offers as they seamlessly transition into an Idaho Central-branded experience to complete the online member application and closing process.

“We are excited to have Idaho Central Credit Union be a part of the Upstart Referral Network,” said Michael Lock, Senior Vice President of Lending Partnerships for Upstart. “Through the Upstart Referral Network, Idaho Central is able to acquire more members across Idaho, Washington and five counties in eastern Oregon by offering its personal loan product through a modern, AI-powered digital lending experience.”
