FinTech lender Upstart Holdings has sold up to $2 billion of consumer installment loans to private credit lender Blue Owl Capital.
The deal includes $290 million of personal loans that have already been handed out, as well as debt that Blue Owl will buy over the next 18 months in a forward-flow agreement.
Upstart CEO Dave Girouard attributes gains in contribution margin and positive cash flow to efforts made to improve efficiency and operating leverage in their business.
Blue Owl's recent acquisition of Atalaya Capital Management represents a significant expansion of their alternative credit presence.
