Yes, Upstart will have to check your bank account after you submit your rate inquiry, which is an initial request for an APR estimate before you apply for the loan. Upstart verifies your bank account to confirm your identity, income and debt obligations so they can ensure the accuracy of your loan application.
To this end, you’ll have to provide login credentials for the bank account listed on your application.
