Interest rates fluctuate month to month, and can also vary depending on whether it is a fixed or variable rate, the lender, and also factors like your personal credit score.
Whenever a credit application is submitted, you can expect a small credit score change by 2-5 points. This step is part of the normal loan application process, and is required by third-party lenders to determine your loan eligibility. Your credit score will only be requested one time when you submit an application through ClearCar, so rest assured your score will only change by the most minimal amount.
Our team has extensive experience working with clients with different credit scores and all sorts of credit situations, ranging from newcomers in the country, to international students. Talk to us and we will guide you through the loan approval process.
