It’s a question that most people ask when needing a loan – finance broker or bank?
If you’re on the market for a loan chances are you currently bank somewhere and have been a loyal customer for 10+ years. They are the first place that comes to mind when you need a loan. They’re easy to talk to, know your history and have your trust. They’ll get you the best deal, right?
Wrong. Just because you have a ‘relationship’ with your bank doesn’t mean they have the best market rate and fees compared to other banks. Sure they’ll try their best to get you attractive rates available within the company, but their best might be higher than a bank two streets across.
This is where a finance broker comes in handy. A finance broker is your secret weapon. There are a number of reasons why it’s worth choosing a finance broker, here are a few:
Time
Going through the process of a loan can be tiring and frustrating. A finance broker is there to do all the work for you and present it in an easy-to-understand way.
Variety
