What Is A Direct Lender FAQ
What is a direct lender?
A direct lender is a financial institution that offers loans to customers without the need for a broker or other third party. You apply directly to the lender, and they offer the money directly to you (assuming you are approved).
Getting a loan from a direct lender means you only deal with them. Your details won’t be passed onto or shared with third parties without your knowledge.
- A direct lender will deal with you throughout the loan application and repayment period
- Your details won’t be passed onto or shared with third parties without your knowledge and approval
- A broker is different to a direct lender – they will find a loan for you for a fee
- A broker may need to share your financial information with third parties in order to find you a loan
