Need a loan to renovate your kitchen? Upgrade says they can help (for a fee, of course).<\/p>\n<p>Upgrade personal loans and credit cards may seem like an easy, risk-free way to borrow money. But don\u2019t be fooled by the name\u2014doing business with Upgrade won\u2019t actually upgrade your finances.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get into who Upgrade is and how they work so you can avoid getting caught in a cycle of debt.<\/p>\n<h2>Our Quick Take on Upgrade<\/h2>\n<p>While Upgrade claims to make personal loans and lines of credit more accessible and affordable\u2014with fixed interest rates and predictable monthly payments\u2014customers still end up paying a ton of money in interest.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, Upgrade\u2019s lower borrowing standards make it easier for those with poor credit history to fall even further into debt. Our advice: If you want to actually make progress with your money, say <em>no<\/em> to Upgrade.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Upgrade?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Upgrade is an American neobank founded in 2016 that sells personal loans and credit cards.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Upgrade offers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Personal loans up to $50,000<\/li>\n<li>Four different Upgrade Cards (personal lines of credit)<\/li>\n<li>Premier Savings (high-yield savings account)<\/li>\n<li>Rewards Checking Plus (checking account with debit card and ATM access)<\/li>\n<li>Credit health monitoring<\/li>\n<li>A mobile app to access your Upgrade account<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Upgrade wants you to know they\u2019re not like a regular bank\u2014they\u2019re a <em>cool bank<\/em>. They say they offer a better experience than traditional banking. But what exactly does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>Online lenders, like Upgrade and the Dave app, pride themselves on their supposedly affordable and responsible credit options.<\/p>\n<p>They let you see exactly what you\u2019ll pay each month before you take out a loan so you can better estimate your monthly payment and avoid hidden fees. And since they only offer personal loans with fixed interest rates, you don\u2019t have to worry about any surprise interest rate changes.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s assuming you consistently make your monthly payment. Let\u2019s dig a little deeper into how Upgrade\u2019s products work\u2014so you can have a better idea of what\u2019s really going on.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Upgrade Loan Review<\/h2>\n<p>Upgrade allows you to take out personal loans to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Refinance credit card debt<\/li>\n<li>Consolidate debt<\/li>\n<li>Renovate your home<\/li>\n<li>Make a big purchase<\/li>\n<li>Cover an emergency expense<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Loan amount:<\/strong> $1,000\u201350,000<\/p>\n<p><strong>APR (annual percentage rate): <\/strong>9.99\u201335.99%<\/p>\n<p><strong>Loan term:<\/strong> 24\u201384 months<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fees:<\/strong> origination fee of 1.85\u20139.99%, late fee of $10, and failed payment fee of $10<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n<h3>Qualifying for an Upgrade Personal Loan<\/h3>\n<p>In order to apply for a loan, you must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident or be living in the U.S. on a valid visa<\/li>\n<li>Be at least 18 years old (in most states)<\/li>\n<li>Have a bank account<\/li>\n<li>Have a valid email address<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Upgrade doesn\u2019t say what credit score you need to get approved for a personal loan. However, they do state that if your credit score is below 600, it can be harder to get a loan\u2014especially one with a low interest rate.<\/p>\n<p>But just because you can check all these boxes, it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you\u2019ll be approved for an Upgrade loan.<\/p>\n<h3>Upgrade Loan Application Process<\/h3>\n<p>How much of a loan you\u2019re approved for and your interest rate depend on your credit score and history. But here\u2019s the general process to apply for an Upgrade personal loan:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>See what loan amount and interest rate you prequalify for.<\/strong> Upgrade will do a soft inquiry that won\u2019t affect your credit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose a loan from a list of multiple loan options.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Verify your identity and income.<\/strong> Upgrade will also do a hard inquiry into your credit, which can affect your credit score.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get approved and receive funds.<\/strong> How soon you can access funds varies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Repay the loan.<\/strong> Missed payments will be reported to the major credit bureaus and can hurt your credit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Heads up! Upgrade will let you know your estimated monthly payment when choosing a personal loan. But what you may not see is exactly how much that loan will cost you overall.<\/p>\n<p>For example: You could get approved for a $15,000 loan with a 12.66% APR over 36 months. In that case, your monthly payment would be around $500. But after those three years, you\u2019ll have actually paid over $18,000 total, with more than $3,000 of that going to cover interest! And don\u2019t forget the origination fee\u2014that could cost you anywhere from $277 to $1,500 up front.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, depending on the loan and your credit score, your interest rate could be as high as almost 36%. That\u2019s about as bad as a payday loan!<\/p>\n<h3>Upgrade Loan Features<\/h3>\n<p>Now let\u2019s talk about some of Upgrade\u2019s main selling points for their personal loans\u2014and what they really mean for your wallet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discounts:<\/strong> You can lower your interest rate if you sign up to have payments automatically come out of your account each month. Upgrade also gives discounts to customers who use their other products (convenient . . . for <em>them<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fast Funding:<\/strong> Many people like that Upgrade offers fast funding for their personal loans\u2014sometimes as soon as one day. After all, who doesn\u2019t want to get their money immediately? But the sooner you get your money, the sooner they can start charging you interest. <em>Gee, thanks?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fixed Interest Rate:<\/strong> And yes, having a fixed APR is better than having a variable interest rate that can shoot up when you least expect it. But those fixed payments aren\u2019t there to help you. They\u2019re in place to make sure you don\u2019t pay off your debt early\u2014and Upgrade gets their very generous cut of interest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secured Loans:<\/strong> You might get a lower interest rate if you take out a secured loan with Upgrade. But secured loans require you to put up something valuable (like your car) as collateral. That means if you don\u2019t make your payments and default on the loan, you could lose your car!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joint Loans:<\/strong> Upgrade allows you to have someone else cosign a loan with you. While this may get you a bigger loan or a lower interest rate, it\u2019s also a <em>huge <\/em>risk. If you or the other person can\u2019t hold up their end of the loan, you both take the hit\u2014to your credit and your relationship. Trust us, things get real awkward real fast when you cosign a loan with someone else. So don\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line: It\u2019s important you know the <em>whole<\/em> picture before you jump at the chance to take out a loan.<\/p>\n<h2>Upgrade Credit Cards Review<\/h2>\n<p>Upgrade offers four different cards with credit lines from $500 to $25,000:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Life Rewards<\/li>\n<li>Cash Rewards<\/li>\n<li>Upgrade Select<\/li>\n<li>Upgrade OneCard<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But it\u2019s important to know that an Upgrade Card isn\u2019t a traditional credit card\u2014it\u2019s a personal line of credit. They might sound the same, but they work\u00a0<em>very\u00a0<\/em>differently.<\/p>\n<p>A personal line of credit is similar to a personal loan in that you get approved to borrow a certain amount of money. But instead of getting a lump sum all at once, you borrow from the full amount as needed and repay what you\u2019ve borrowed in monthly payments.<\/p>\n<p>That means you still have to pay interest on a personal line of credit (even if you make all your payments on time). By calling it a card, Upgrade can make you think you have more flexibility than you really do, while they collect the interest.<\/p>\n<h3>Upgrade Card Interest<\/h3>\n<p>Upgrade says their cards help you save on interest more than a regular credit card. But does that actually hold up?<\/p>\n<p>The average credit card interest rate is 23.37%.<sup>2<\/sup> But Upgrade Cards can have an APR as high as 29.99%.<sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0So you could end up being charged more interest than you\u2019re expecting. Remember, credit companies always use the best-case scenarios to get you to believe it\u2019ll be super easy to make those monthly payments.<\/p>\n<p>And according to the fine print, \u201cIf there are changes to your credit score or other risk factors, or changes to market conditions, the availability of your remaining credit, the interest rate, and length of the credit offered may be adjusted for future transactions.\u201d<sup>4<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Translation: The amount of credit you have access to, how long you have access to it, and your interest rate could all change. Uh, so much for your predictable interest rate.<\/p>\n<h3>Upgrade Credit Card Features<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cash Back and Rewards:<\/strong> Some Upgrade Cards give you cash back and rewards (like discounts) when you shop. But any cash you\u2019re getting back is a small percentage of what Upgrade is charging you for using their lines of credit. By calling them rewards, they make you think they\u2019re actually doing you a favor\u2014which makes you spend more money. And when you do the math, you\u2019ll see that credit card rewards\u00a0aren\u2019t actually worth it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Welcome Bonus:<\/strong> You have to open a Rewards Checking Plus account with Upgrade and make three qualifying debit card transactions before you can qualify for a welcome bonus. So you have to spend money to get money? Hmm, interesting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fees: <\/strong>Three out of the four Upgrade Cards don\u2019t have an annual fee (the Upgrade Select card has a $39 annual fee).<sup>5<\/sup> But you\u2019re still responsible for late fees and insufficient fund fees.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom Line: An Upgrade card may seem like a better alternative to a traditional credit card, but it will put you in debt just as easily as a credit card. The only difference is that you\u2019re less likely to see it coming.<\/p>\n<h2>Our Upgrade Review: Don\u2019t Fall for the Credit Trap<\/h2>\n<p>Upgrade says they help you \u201cmake smart financial decisions to help you reach your goals.\u201d<sup> <\/sup>\u00a0But let\u2019s be clear: <strong>The only thing they\u2019re helping you do is go into debt.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While Upgrade has lower borrowing requirements compared to other lenders, that doesn\u2019t mean they have people\u2019s best interests at heart. In fact, they allow those who have a bad track record with credit to borrow even more money.<\/p>\n<p>By promoting lower interest rates and seemingly free perks, Upgrade is able to lure more people into taking out loans or signing up for their credit cards. But they don\u2019t give you the full picture of how much their loans really cost you. And by the time you realize it, you\u2019ll have already paid them thousands of dollars in interest.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, Upgrade won\u2019t help you take control of your money. They\u2019ll only keep you trapped in a vicious cycle of debt.<\/p>\n<h2>Upgrade Your Finances the Right Way With a Budget<\/h2>\n<p>Personal loans and credit cards will always let you down. It\u2019s a rigged system and you\u2019re the one who pays. Every. Single. Time.<\/p>\n<p>But what if you could save more of your money instead of handing it over to someone else? It\u2019s time to get off the credit hamster wheel and make real progress with your money. And it all starts with a budget.<\/p>\n<p>A budget is simply a plan for your money. It\u2019s deciding how you\u2019re going to spend your paycheck <em>before<\/em> you get it. Because when you know exactly how much you have to cover the essentials, you don\u2019t have to worry about how you\u2019re going to make it to your next payday.<\/p>\n<p>A budget helps you get ahead and stay ahead.\u00a0That\u2019s why we made the EveryDollar budgeting app!<\/p>\n<p>EveryDollar helps you find extra margin every month so you can start making real money progress, really fast.
