Upgrade is a fintech platform that offers a unique combination of mobile banking services, innovative credit products, and personal finance tools. The mobile bank simplifies banking for customers by providing a user-friendly mobile app that lets users manage their finances with ease. Upgrade's app allows customers to check their balances, transfer funds, deposit checks, and monitor their budget.
One of the standout features of Upgrade is their personal credit lines and installment loans which offer competitive interest rates and transparent fee structures. Customers can use the mobile app to apply for loans, monitor loan balances, and make payments directly from their smartphones. Additionally, Upgrade offers a rewards checking account that earns cash back on everyday purchases and has no monthly fees or overdrawing charges.
Upgrade places a strong emphasis on education and financial wellness. Through their app, customers have access to credit monitoring tools and personalized recommendations aimed at improving their financial health. With security as a top priority, Upgrade uses advanced encryption and multiple layers of security to protect users' personal information and transactions, ensuring peace of mind while banking on the go.

24/7 availability- anytime, anywhere
No matter where you are, at home or abroad, you can access your Upgrade account via the app, check your account balance, control your savings, get customer support, make payments and even freeze your debit card if needed. In addition, get real-time notifications every time you make a transaction, so there won’t be any surprises at the end of the month. No need to make appointments, stand in line and lose working hours to manage your finances.
Get approved fast
Opening an account with Upgrade is simple, with no lengthy paperwork. Just download the app, prove your identity, top up your account and you’re ready to go. Upgrade doesn’t require a copy of your credit history to approve your account, meaning you can open an account and get approved in minutes.
Lower fees
Another main reason to use Upgrade is the low (or no!) fees. Upgrade has no physical branches, therefore they can offer lower fees than traditional banks – especially when it comes to ATM withdrawals, money exchange/transfer and payments abroad. For example, Upgrade offers zero fees on all transactions, including purchases made overseas!
Makes traveling easier
Upgrade = borderless banking. Low/no exchange rates and low/no ATM withdrawal fees worldwide make traveling a whole lot easier (and cheaper) than with traditional banks- especially in the eurozone. And for added safety, freeze or unfreeze your debit card while you travel, directly in the app.
Go paperless
One of the frustrating things about traditional banks is the amount of documents, contracts and letters that are sent to your mailbox. With Upgrade everything you need is in the app and all communications are sent to your app or your email. Gone are the days of rummaging through piles of paper around your house – and protecting the environment is the cherry on top.
