How borrowing works locally

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

Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term. Interest on a line of credit accrues only on the drawn portion, not on the unused limit.
