Comparing loans online can be misleading
The reason why it can be misleading is that there are very many private sites owned by private individuals or smaller companies. These companies do not always have the best knowledge of how to go about comparing loans online. These players have self-interest and do not always have updated information on the loans.
Private actors write angled reviews
Since there is a self-interest in many of the sites that compare loans online, there is a great risk that reviews that you read can be written in an angled way to better highlight a particular company because of the self-interest that may exist. One should therefore take what is written with a pinch of salt.
Tips to avoid being fooled
As for most things on the internet, you should always double-check the sources, as virtually anyone can have written the fact. Below we list some concrete tips to avoid falling into the trap of misleading bank reviews.
1. Look at the facts more than fuzzy praises
What you can do to avoid being scammed is to look at facts, such as interest rates and fees, to decide which loan is best for you. Google even more sources, so you don't stare blindly at a single site that can be angled.
Also check how long the company you intend to borrow from has been and what they have for reviews on, for example, TrustPilot.
2. Always check the facts with the real bank
If you have ended up on a comparison site, they usually write facts about the loan, such as interest rates, fees, possible penalties for delays, what loan amounts and payment times apply. These facts should definitely double check with the bank before making a decision, you should also check several different banks.
3. Check the basics of the reviews
The more serious comparison sites always have concrete bases on how they rate each bank. If there is no source reference to how the reviews are written, you should take the content with a pinch of salt. The most common is that the site looks at a number of factors about the bank, such as whether the terms are good and that it is a serious company and whether the service is user-friendly.
4. Consider only serious banks
There is a wealth of small private banks from which you can borrow money. The most important tip is to make use of serious and established banks that you already know. With a newly started bank you never know what is going on.
