I caught up with Renaud earlier this week to discuss this new card and what it means for Upgrade and for the future of credit cards.

He first pointed out that the concept of minimum monthly payment, that is a feature for most credit cards, is such a bad idea for consumers. He argues that this kind of credit card is fundamentally flawed and that a new approach is needed.

He said:. I am genuinely more excited about this product than when I first launched online personal loans over a decade ago. We have refinanced tens of billions of dollars in credit card debt but still the overall outstanding balance keeps increasing. It feels good to get to the heart of the problem and create a more responsible card. You can think of Upgrade Card as a cross between a traditional credit card and an installment loan.

Once they pass underwriting a customer is approved for a credit limit as you would expect. The difference is how the outstanding balance is paid back.

Also, to be clear Upgrade is not calling this a credit card, it is simply Upgrade Card because they want to position it as a better alternative an upgrade if you will to a credit card. Every month the new charges on the card are converted into an installment loan of either 12, 24 or 36 months duration occasionally a 60 month option will be offered.

The customer can choose their default payback period when they apply for the card and can actually change that duration for new charges at any time. Each month the monthly payment due is calculated by adding up all the installment loan payments. But this is all done automatically for the consumer, all they see is the monthly payment amount that is due. It has been created to ensure simplicity but also transparency as the customer can drill down to see the details of each of their installment loans if they want.

Another big difference between Upgrade Card and traditional credit cards is the range of interest rates, specifically for lower risk consumers.

Upgrade Card offers true risk-based pricing with a range of 6. For comparison the popular Sapphire Reserve card from Chase has an interest rate range of When you apply for a card Upgrade does a credit pull on your credit report just like they would for a personal loan.

Then they do a monitoring soft pull every month so they can reprice the credit line for any new balance if necessary. They also get push notifications from the credit bureaus during the month if any of their customers have a major event that might impact their credit, a very useful feature. Upgrade Card balances will be funded by existing Upgrade investors. It is really a similar product to the existing installment loans from an investor perspective so they will see similar cash flows.

Many like the ongoing credit monitoring and the ability to reprice risk on the fly. There will be no origination fees so Upgrade will make money in two ways.

First, there will be interchange revenue as with any credit card and second Upgrade will be selling these card receivables to investors at a premium. Cross River has a long history of innovation in the fintech space so it was not surprising that Upgrade chose them as the partner bank to issue this new kind of loan.
