UNCLE Credit Union Selects Upstart for Personal Lending

UNCLE Credit Union (UNCLE), a Northern California-based credit union with over 38,000 members, has announced a new partnership with Upstart (NASDAQ: UPST), the leading artificial intelligence (AI) lending marketplace, to provide personal loans to new and existing members.

“At UNCLE Credit Union, we are committed to offering exceptional financial services to meet all our members’ needs while also promoting financial wellness throughout our surrounding communities,” said Dree Johnson, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at UNCLE Credit Union. “We partnered with Upstart to expand inclusive lending and grow our membership across all four counties we serve in Northern California through an all-digital lending experience.”

UNCLE Credit Union started lending as a partner on the Upstart Referral Network in July 2024. With the Upstart Referral Network, qualified personal loan applicants on Upstart.com who meet UNCLE Credit Union’s credit policies will receive tailored offers as they seamlessly transition into an UNCLE-branded experience to complete the online member application and closing process.

“We are excited to welcome UNCLE Credit Union to the family of Upstart lending partners,” said Michael Lock, Senior Vice President of Lending Partnerships at Upstart. “Through the Upstart Referral Network, UNCLE Credit Union is able to lend to more new and existing members across Alameda, Contra Costa, San Joaquin, and Stanislaus counties.”
