How borrowing works locally

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

A prepayment privilege allows a borrower to pay more than the scheduled amount, sometimes with a charge attached. A shorter term raises each payment and lowers the total interest, which is the trade every schedule makes.
