How borrowing works locally

A broker arranges credit but does not lend, and the lender remains the party that makes the decision.

A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent. A lender's assessment looks at income, existing obligations, the credit file, and the asset pledged where there is one.
