Frequently Asked Questions

Are the rates here a firm offer?

No. Figures are representative and depend on your credit, income and state. A firm offer comes only after the lender's own verification.

Does checking rates affect my credit?

Initial checks are usually soft pulls when pre-qualifying. Confirm the lender's process before submitting a full application.

How are lenders ranked?

We weigh published APR ranges, fee transparency, funding speed and how recently each listing was verified against the lender's page.
