Upstart Loan Servicing (Deceased Borrower)

Verified Jul 2026

Upstart has 2 accounts, each with different rules for what happens when the account holder dies. The right combination of beneficiary designations and trust ownership can keep the entire portfolio out of probate.

Upstart has documented procedures for both preparing accounts during your lifetime and handling claims when an account holder passes away.


Frequently asked questions

Upstart is a lending marketplace, not the lender of record. Its standard promissory note is made for value received from Cross River Bank, a New Jersey state-chartered bank, which originates the loan; Upstart Network then markets and services it. For some bank and credit-union partners, and some auto products, the lending partner services its own loans, so the estate should confirm the current servicer from the borrower's statement or the My Account dashboard before sending documents.

A payoff check can be mailed to Upstart Loan Operations, PO Box 1503, San Carlos, CA 94070; include the loan account number so the payment is applied correctly. Confirm the exact payoff amount and the current servicer first through loan servicing at 650-204-1000 (toll-free 1-855-438-8778) or servicing@upstart.com, because for some partners and some auto products the loan is serviced by the lending partner rather than by Upstart.
