help Upgrade FAQ
Is Upgrade actually a bank?
Upgrade is a financial technology company rather than a chartered bank. Its checking, savings, card, and lending products are provided through partner banks, so customers should check the agreement to identify the institution holding a particular account.
Does the Upgrade Card work like a normal credit card?
An Upgrade Card can be used through the Visa network, but eligible balances are generally converted into fixed-payment installment plans. That structure differs from a conventional revolving card that only requires a variable minimum payment each month.
Can an Upgrade Premier Savings account earn interest without direct deposit?
Premier Savings is designed as an interest-bearing online savings account, but its advertised rate and qualification rules can change. Upgrade currently presents it separately from Rewards Checking, so applicants should verify the live annual percentage yield before depositing money.
Will applying for an Upgrade loan affect my credit score?
Checking a potential rate may use a soft credit inquiry, which ordinarily does not reduce a credit score. Accepting an offer can involve a hard inquiry and a new account, both of which may affect the applicant's credit profile.
