Digital Lending

Launch and scale lending without building the stack.

Best-in-class lending enablement — from application and origination to servicing, securitization, and sale — with a bank partner and compliance framework already in place.

What's included

Everything from application to capital markets.

Application & decisioning

Embedded application flows with KYC, underwriting rules, and bank-partner approval built in.

01

Origination & funding

Revolving lines and installment products originated through Cross River Bank, Member FDIC.

02

Servicing & repayment

Billing, autopay, collections workflows, and statements handled on our ledger.

03

Credit reporting

Every repayment reports to the bureaus, so your lending product also builds credit.

04

Securitization & sale

Loan-level data and reporting designed for forward-flow and securitization partners.

05

Compliance built in

Disclosures, Reg Z and Reg E error resolution, and state-by-state requirements maintained for you.

06

Why Upward

Lending infrastructure, not a lending startup.

Most platforms that want to offer credit end up rebuilding the same stack: a bank partnership, a compliance program, a ledger, servicing, and reporting. Upward provides that stack as infrastructure so you can focus on the product your users actually see.

Launch a single product or a full suite — cards, credit builder, lending, and payments share one integration and one ledger.
