FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is prequalification?

Prequalification uses a soft credit pull to estimate your rate and terms without affecting your credit score. Final approval requires a hard pull.

What credit score do I need?

Most lenders prefer a score of 660+, but options exist for fair credit. Stronger credit unlocks lower APRs.

Are origination fees common?

Some lenders charge 1%–8% of the loan amount. Others charge none. Always compare APR, which factors in fees.
