Upstart Holdings (UPST 0.79%) has a story anyone can get behind. It helps banks widen the circle of potential lenders by giving a better look at credit-worthiness. By taking different variables into account than FICO (FICO 0.41%), people who are normally walled off from lending gain access.
But it doesn't stop there: The company's default rates are lower than traditional models, and so are its interest rates. It's a win for banks, a win for borrowers, and a win for Upstart. That's hard to come by in the finance industry.
There are, however, a few key risks that warrant attention from investors.
