Liberty Savings Bank, a family-owned bank with over $1.2 billion in assets serving Sarasota-Manatee County on the Gulf Coast of Florida, has announced a new partnership with Upstart, the leading artificial intelligence (AI) lending marketplace, to provide personal loans to new and existing customers.

"By partnering with Upstart, we are able to offer a fast, easy and modern personal lending experience to meet the needs of both current customers and new customers,” said Tim Fiedler, Executive Vice President at Liberty Savings Bank.

Liberty Savings Bank started its partnership with Upstart in September 2022 and now offers personal loans powered by Upstart’s all-digital, AI-lending platform on its bank website, as well as through the Upstart Referral Network. With the Upstart Referral Network, qualified personal loan applicants on Upstart.com who meet Liberty Savings Bank's credit policies will receive tailored offers as they seamlessly transition into a Liberty Savings Bank-branded experience to complete the online application and closing process.

“We are proud to have Liberty Savings Bank in the Upstart family of lending partners,” said Michael Lock, Senior Vice President of Lending Partnerships for Upstart. “The partnership between Upstart and Liberty Savings Bank expands access to affordable credit to more creditworthy borrowers across the Gulf Coast.”
