A leading artificial intelligence (AI) lending platform, Upstart (UPST), announced Associated Bank, a Midwest regional bank, has enhanced personal loan capabilities including a seamless digital experience powered by Upstart.
Michael Lock, Senior Vice President of Lending Partnerships for Upstart, said, “We are excited to enable Associated Bank to combine its localized approach of a traditional community bank with the efficiencies and modern experiences of a larger organization through technology. With our AI lending platform, Associated Bank is now able to offer a new, inclusive lending program that can provide higher approval rates, lower APRs, and fully automated approvals for its customers.”

The Upstart platform leverages artificial intelligence to make credit more accessible to consumers. Furthermore, Upstart-power banks can offer customers outstanding digital-first lending experiences on top of improved approval rates and reduced losses.
