Analysis · UPST · Finance
Upstart Network has signed a $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility with MUFG Bank, giving it committed liquidity to capitalize Upstart Bank, N.A. while regulatory approval is pending. The facility is short-dated by design: it matures at the earliest of 364 days, 45 days after the bank's initial capitalization, or full repayment, and outstanding loans must be repaid from affiliate loan sales to the bank. That structure makes the revolver bridge capital, not permanent funding. Cost is Term SOFR plus 3.00% initially, stepping between 2.75% and 3.25% on a leverage grid, and the facility is secured by first-priority liens on substantially all assets of the borrower and guarantors, excluding Upstart Bank itself. Covenants require at least $100 million of liquidity, $300 million of eligible assets plus excess liquidity, and secured gross leverage no higher than 2.50x. Execution is the main risk: the bank's opening depends on regulatory approvals that may be delayed, and a covenant breach or default could accelerate the entire balance.
