What good credit can change
A stronger credit profile may reduce perceived lender risk, but lenders still review income, debts, state, identity, requested amount, and their own criteria.
What to compare
Even with good credit, compare APR, total repayment, fees, payment due dates, prepayment rules, and the amount you actually receive after any fees.
