SAN MATEO, CA (March 30, 2022) — Red Rocks Credit Union, a not-for-profit financial cooperative in Colorado with more than 16,000 members and $360 million in assets, today announced that it has partnered with Upstart (NASDAQ: UPST), a leading artificial intelligence (AI) lending platform, to provide personal loans to better reach and serve more members.
“As a digital-forward credit union, our goal is to help members reach their dreams through the products and services that we offer across any channel with which they want to interact,” said Darius Wise, President and Chief Operating Officer at Red Rocks Credit Union. “Our partnership with Upstart allows us to provide an all-digital personal lending experience powered by AI to lend to more creditworthy borrowers across a wider demographic in Douglas, Jefferson and Arapahoe counties, as well as outside of Colorado.”
