How borrowing works locally

A lender's assessment looks at income, existing obligations, the credit file, and the asset pledged where there is one.

A lender is free to set its own price below the legal ceiling, and it does so according to the risk it reads in the file. Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term.
