Peace! This is your monthly Vizion article, designed to ensure your finances are straight. With the changes faced in our economy today, making sure that you are knowledgeable on the things necessary to enable your money to grow is paramount.
This is why in this environment, knowing what banks look for in order to provide financing is key. If you are looking to get a new loan, whether its a mortgage, auto loan, personal loan, credit card, or something else, a bank or other lender will review and approve or decline your application.
As a former banker, I spent time tasked with reviewing loan applications that came through my branch. There are many misconceptions on how loans are approved. Your credit score is an important factor–but just one small piece of the puzzle. Let’s dive in and take a look at what banks actually do when approving your loan application.
Your credit score – the first glance
Whether you apply for your loan online or in person, the first place the bank will look is your credit score. This simple number works like your old grade point average in school.
If you had a high GPA, you had good grades.
If you had a low GPA, you had bad grades.
Credit scores work similarly, giving a high-level view into your credit before digging into the details.
However, your credit score is just the first hurdle. Your credit score can be an instant disqualifier, but few banks will approve a new loan with a good credit score alone. There are many more steps to loan approval if you have a qualifying credit score.
