In partnership with Upstart, welcome to Alero Financial
Your financial wellness journey starts here
Upstart matched you with your Alero Financial personal loan, and we’re excited to help you reach your financial goals through our people-first approach.
As a member-owner of our financial cooperative, you now have access to the full benefits of credit union membership — including lower fees, personalized service, and a wide range of tools to help you build what’s next.
Make the most of your membership by taking the steps below to get started.
The first thing you'll want to do is download our free mobile app to access your accounts 24/7, view statements online, and more.
Click below or go to your preferred app store on your phone and search Alero Financial to get started.
Once the app is downloaded, remember to enroll in eStatements so you can access your statements anytime and anywhere!
Your membership is achieved by opening a Regular Shares account with a deposit of $5. That membership makes you an owner of Alero Financial and allows you to take advantage of any products and services we offer.
But don't stop there: The more money you deposit, the more you'll be able to grow your nest egg with our empowering financial tools and resources.
Here are your options for sending money to your new Alero Financial accounts:
Arrange a transfer funds from a connected bank in our mobile app (this takes 2-4 days; to set up an external transfer, see External Transfers)
Provide your account and routing number to your employer to set up direct deposit with your employer (or use our form to get started!)
Download CAFCU's app and deposit a check written to yourself with our mobile deposit tool
Wire yourself the money (incoming wires to Alero Financial are free).
