### 3/5 — Lost stars

*2026-08-17, version 1.33.0*

Very Inconvenient to not be able to pay using my debit card. I'd rather know when my money is leaving my account.

### 5/5 — Really a big help!!

*2026-07-16, version 1.32.1*

I received a consolidation loan from Upgrade and it allowed me to raise my credit score and get some much needed breathing room financially. Thank you Upgrade!!

### 5/5 — JOKE!!

*2026-07-13, version 1.32.1*

This app an absolute joke. No matter how many times I try to verify my ID, it constantly says that it’s unable to verify and read the bs. It doesn’t matter how clear the photos are, it keeps giving you the same loop. It’s a complete waste of time and an absolute joke!

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2026-07-12, version 1.32.1*

I use this app every week to make Carson that my credit deathly & accurate information is being reported. I los use it for the other loan opportunities so I can save money. Thank you for all of your support. Also one thing that I’d really important is that you have very pleasant & knowledgeable representatives whenever I call. Upfront representation are the one that either makes or breaks any comp.

Upgrade is a company with the one you can trust with any loan you want and the interest is not high as other loans companies…

### 1/5 — Unhappy customer

*2026-08-15, version 1.33.0*

The fact that I had 1000 credit and in the middle of me paying it off yall dropped my credit limit and over draw me. No one has don’t that but yall and I am closing my account.

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2026-08-13, version 1.33.0*

Been trying for several days now. I’ve uninstalled, reinstalled app still won’t load.

### 1/5 — Good

*2026-07-24, version 1.32.1*

The app works well enough. I would rather my payment to show sooner on my statement. Other than that it is a lot better than before.

### 1/5 — WORST APP ! DONT DO IT

*2026-07-20, version 1.32.1*

I tried for months to get help because the app has a major glitch and no one can ever help and no one can look into anything ! They always assume you don’t have direct deposits or you just suck at life ! I would not sign up or download this trash app !!! RUN !!

### 1/5 — Provisional credit scam

*2026-07-17, version 1.32.1*

I lost my debit card, there was an erroneous charge. I disputed the charge well within the 90 day timeframe, this scam bank told me they would credit my account while they investigate. I NEVER received the provisional credit they promised, and my money that was stolen was never returned. I definitely wouldn’t trust this phony scam bank.

### 1/5 — Beware! Perfect payments and pay downs = Reduced credit score!!!?

*2026-07-04, version 1.32.1*

I have been a customer with upgrade for seven years

I’ve never missed a payment on anything, none of my personal loans none of my car payments. Absolutely nothing.

I decided to pay this card down from 2600 to 1100

When you pay your card down your credit score should go up right?

Well upgrade decided to lower my limit to 500!

When they lowered my limit to 500 it looked like I was utilizing 260% of my credit card usage with them! 

When in fact, I had paid it down where I was utilizing under 40%!

When they did this, it made my credit score drop tremendously!

Every time I pay it down, they lower my limit! 

This is absurd, and I do not recommend them for building credit!

### 1/5 — Goodluck separating from them.

*2026-06-30, version 1.32.1*

Paid off my loan. Wanted to delete my app account and unlink all my personal identifiable information like my bank account, address, email, telephone. Can’t do it for some reason. Literally the most impossible task for them. They forever keep your information. Customer service is useless. Stay away.

### 1/5 — DO NOT TRUST

*2026-06-22, version 1.32.1*

Company is fraudulent holding, won’t process two on my payments. USE LENDING CLUB 10/10

### 1/5 — App won’t load

*2026-06-18, version 1.32.1*

I’ve had numerous problems over the last couple of months with the app taking forever to load or not loading at all. It will spin for several minutes then prompt the pass key screen and then spin but never load. Been watching it spin for the last 30 minutes. Very frustrated!

### 1/5 — Horrible customer support

*2026-05-26, version 1.32.1*

This company’s services should be avoided at all cost. I have been trying to work with them to have a fraudulent charge made from another country removed for almost two weeks. The charges were supposedly made with a physical card in Australia. When reported to Upgrade customer support, they were operating very poorly to resolve the issue.  I asked to cancel the card and reissue to avoid further fraudulent charges. During discovery, I noticed that there was an old contact number connected with my account. Getting that number updated also proved to be too much for Upgrade to handle.  As a result, I asked to close the account because I no longer have confidence that my sensitive personal identity information is safe or secure in this company’s hands. I will be canceling all services with Upgrade as soon as possible.

### 5/5 — Great customer service skills

*2026-08-20, version 1.33.0*

Great customer service skills and a genuinely kind and patient manner. She’s a real asset to your company. She deserves a raise and a promotion!!

### 5/5 — ROMAN!

*2026-08-17, version 1.33.0*

Thank you to Roman for sorting my problems out.. no thanks to upgrade themselves. I’ve contacted support multiple times. Running around in circles.. Roman stepped up and got my problems figured out all while being professional and nice. He stayed on the phone with me until my payments cleared and got my account unlocked.. that man deserves a raise! Upgrade needs to hire more Roman’s!

Excelent!

### 5/5 — Installment Easy

*2026-08-03, version 1.32.1*

I got to use this app because I wanted to pay my domestic and international business class flights without immediately breaking the bank. I have been using this app for  running 4 months now and I have to say, I am enjoying using it. 

I can see the different payment plans I have in one easy place in one glance. It also gives me a credit score monitoring estimate, which to me is a nice additional gratitude.

I’m happy using this app. Keep up the excellent job, everyone!
