FAQ

Does Credible charge borrowers any fees or commissions?

No. Credible provides the marketplace and does not charge borrowers a fee to compare rates. Partner lenders may have their own fees, which are disclosed in lender offers.

Will checking rates on Credible hurt my credit score?

No. Credible’s initial rate comparisons use a soft credit inquiry that doesn’t affect your credit score. If you move forward, lenders typically perform a hard credit pull for final approval.

Are there discounts or promotional rates available?

Some partner lenders offer discounts for autopay or promotional rate reductions; Credible surfaces those on lender pages but any discount terms come from the lender and vary by offer.
