your credit score¹Moving loan FAQs
What is a moving loan?
A moving loan, also called a relocation loan, is a type of personal loan you can use to pay for moving costs. Most moving loans on our platform are unsecured, which means you aren’t required to back up your loan with collateral. There may be an option to secure your personal loan through Upstart with your vehicle, which will require a lien to be placed on the vehicle.What can I use a moving loan for?
You can use the funds from your moving loan for a variety of relocation costs, such as hiring movers, paying for security deposits, purchasing moving insurance, and covering hidden moving costs.How much can I borrow with a moving loan?
Our platform offers moving loan amounts between $1,000 and $50,000.³ It’s important to note that some states require specific minimum loan amounts. The exact amount you can borrow depends on what you qualify for based on your application information.Can I use a credit card for my moving expenses?
Yes, but since credit cards are a type of revolving credit, they can lead to overspending and high interest debt. Credit cards can be a good option if you’re able to pay off your balance in full each month.
Consider getting a moving loan since they’re more predictable. You’ll get a lump sum of money upfront, with a fixed interest rate. Once you get the funds, you can budget your monthly payments in advance.Should I take out a loan to move out?
A moving loan can be a good choice for you if you're unable to cover all of your moving costs. Before committing to a moving loan, remember that you have to pay back the funds plus interest, and there may be additional fees. Consider how much you’ll need to pay over the life of the loan before you sign on any dotted lines.What are the benefits of getting a moving loan through Upstart?
We take the time to consider more than your credit score to determine if you can qualify for a moving loan. Benefits include:
- Fast and seamless online application
- No prepayment penalty
- Fixed interest rates
- Predictable monthly payments
- Direct deposit for funds

your credit score¹Other loan options
1. When you check your rate, we check your credit report. This initial (soft) inquiry will not affect your credit score. If you accept your rate and proceed with your application, we do another (hard) credit inquiry that will impact your credit score. If you take out a loan, repayment information may be reported to the credit bureaus.
2. If you accept your loan by 5pm EST (not including weekends or holidays), your funds will be sent on the next business day.
3. Your loan amount will be determined based on your credit, income, and certain other information provided in your loan application. Not all applicants will qualify for the full amount. Minimum loan amounts vary by state: GA ($3,100), HI ($2,100), MA ($7,000).
4. Neither Upstart nor its bank partners have a minimum educational attainment requirement in order to be eligible for a loan.
5. The full range of available rates varies by state. A representative example of payment terms for an unsecured Personal Loan is as follows: a borrower receives a loan of $10,000 for a term of 60 months, with an interest rate of 19.24% and a 8.98% origination fee of $898, for an APR of 23.93%. In this example, the borrower will receive $9102 and will make 60 monthly payments of $262. APR is calculated based on 5-year rates offered in June 2024. There is no downpayment and no prepayment penalty. Your APR will be determined based on your credit, income, and certain other information provided in your loan application.
