Knowing the process of your loan application can save you lots of heartache and money

When you submit your loan application the banks credit officer look at it. If you know what they are looking, for can increase your chances of being approved at the lowest rate so much easier.  Here the issue of loan shoppers and your existing loan payment pattern of debt are discussed.

  

Recognise that banks can also say NO. Two issues that banks look at for deciding  your risk profile and that determines if you will get a loan or not and at what rate.  Shoppers and missed or late payment fees are discussed here.

 

• Loan shoppers

• Payment pattern

 

Shopping

 

For an average householder who wants to get a loan. They go into a number of banks and non bank lenders to fill out applications and talk to people, looking for the best deal.  They don’t really want a loan at this stage, they are just shopping.  After a while they get the picture of what is available and who has the best rate etc and that’s when they become serious.

It is not uncommon  after an application has been through the credit department in the approval process to send out the following question to the potential borrower.   Can we have an explanation as to why they have been to Bank A, Bank B, Bank C, Bank D  Bank E?   To say the borrow does not get a shock is an understatement.

  

How to avoid this.
