Loan pre-approval is a preliminary evaluation of your creditworthiness that gives you an estimate of how much you may be able to borrow. The process involves:

  1. Completing a loan application (can be done online)
  2. Providing documentation of income, assets, and debts
  3. Allowing us to check your credit report
  4. Receiving a pre-approval letter valid for 60-90 days

Pre-approval strengthens your position when making offers on homes or vehicles, as sellers know you're a serious buyer.
