Upstart (NASDAQ: UPST), the leading artificial intelligence (AI) lending marketplace, today announced Cash Line, a breakthrough revolving line of credit that gives consumers ongoing access to money as needed.
"Cash Line is Upstart's next great leap toward always-on credit for every American," said Dave Girouard, co-founder and CEO of Upstart. "We are rapidly building a one-stop shop for all flavors of credit where guaranteed best rates are available 24/7 in a matter of minutes. Cash Line offers reliable access to money in the moments that matter the most."
Cash Line leapfrogs the unreliable and often predatory short-term options currently available. While traditional cash advance apps promise high limits, they often approve consumers for far less, layer on hidden fees, and provide unpredictable access, leaving millions of Americans without affordable options when they need it most. Cash Line breaks this cycle by offering:
- Guaranteed minimum of $200 for all approved consumers, the highest in the industry
- Up to $5,000 revolving line - more than 5X leading competitors
- Always-on - approved lines are never reduced (provided program requirements are met)
- Instant access - no extra fees for expedited access
- Customized repayment options - industry-first features like ‘Rest Mode' put consumers in control
- Simple, transparent pricing:
- $10 monthly membership for lines up to $500
- Plus a low APR (5 to 36%) for draws beyond $500
Starting today, consumers can join the waitlist for early access to Cash Line's beta before it's widely available with all features later in 2026. To learn more, visit upstart.com/cash-line-waitlist
