Why a broker and not the bank
A bank has one shelf. If you do not fit it, you hear no, and nobody tells you that the lender down the street would have said yes. I compare 175+ lenders on every file and show you the options side by side with the APR on each.
If the deal you already have is better, I will tell you that too.
