### 1/5 — Name recognition but overall scammers

*2026-08-03, version 1.1.12*

As the title says scammers and don’t have the courage to be honest with its customers. The cash line option is a scam. Stealing from American population. There not there to help but to scam like other lenders. Might as well be a tribal lender

### 1/5 — Was a good lender

*2026-08-02, version 1.1.12*

I found this company online in time of need before they had an app. Life happened and this was sent to collections and written as a charge off on my credit report. I have paid the collection with Velocity Investments and informed Upstart of this. I also asked many times that they update my dashboard now that the account is paid for. It wasn’t difficult to acquire funding in the past, but no matter what I do I continue to get denied.

### 1/5 — High interest rate

*2026-07-31, version 1.1.12*

Options for refinance or to lower rate I have excellent monthly payments on time when I asked to refinance rates to Steal high

### 1/5 — Was Asked to Contact Helpdesk via Email or Phone - NOT HELPFUL

*2026-07-27, version 1.1.12*

After the update today 07/27/2026 I am still unable to use the app. The developer response for my initial review was to contact support via email or their phone number. I tried email first and received a generic, unhelpful response. Why have the application if I cannot use it and have to use your desktop site? The app worked just fine until mid July. Calling their phone number? Forget it because it’s all automated and you cannot get past, even saying “technical support” or “application support”.

Please figure this out, it is very frustrating!!

### 1/5 — Unusable After Update

### 1/5 — No good

*2026-08-06, version 1.1.12*

This company is so quick to take your money but is slow to get refunds back…. You call support and have no clear information to provide you….. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

### 1/5 — This app doesn't open!!

*2026-08-06, version 1.1.12*

I can't log in because the screen doesn't allow it! Nothing works when I click the any options. I type in my email address in the blank line and click the check mark and NOTHING happens. I have zero issues with any other apps so it's this app not my phone. Fix this issue IF YOU WANT MY MONEY!!!!!

### 1/5 — Loan sharks

*2026-08-05, version 1.1.12*

They are loan sharks.  Please do protect yourself and stay away from them. I don’t know which laws allow them to operate but they will suck you up to your bone marrow. Go for any other option but Upstart.

### 1/5 — Fraud alert

*2026-08-03, version 1.1.12*

Every payment I make, the UpStart company takes over 45% in interest from every payment I make. That’s not what I signed up for, that’s not what my promise note I signed says. So when I see my account adjust accordingly, I will make my payments accordingly. That’s my promise note

I got a personal loan through upstart to consolidate my credit card debt and they’re saving me a lot of money on interest. My minimum monthly payment is cheaper than what I was paying on all my credit cards before. On top of that I’ll have it paid off in 3 years. Sounds like a good deal to me
