Our integrations with leading lenders and credit bureaus allow consumers to quickly compare accurate, prequalified loan options \u2015 without affecting their credit score. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Credible marketplace<\/a> provides an unrivaled customer experience, as reflected by over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustpilot.com\/review\/www.credible.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">6,610 Trustpilot reviews<\/a> and a TrustScore of 4.7\/5.<\/p>\n<p><em><small>Prequalified rates are based on the information you provide and a soft credit inquiry. Receiving prequalified rates does not guarantee that the Lender will extend you an offer of credit. You are not yet approved for a loan or a specific rate. All credit decisions, including loan approval, if any, are determined by Lenders, in their sole discretion. Lenders will conduct a hard credit pull when you submit your application. Hard credit pulls will have an impact on your credit score. Lowest rate advertised is not available for all loan sizes, types, or purposes, and assumes a very well qualified borrower with an excellent credit profile.<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comparison sites like Kayak, Orbitz, and Expedia have revolutionized the travel industry, allowing consumers to instantly evaluate their options with multiple airlines, hotels, and car rental agencies But if you want to compare your options&hellip; <a class=\"more \" href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/company\/how-credible-is-different\/\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":31636,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1484],"class_list":["post-31147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-refinance-student-loans","tag-new","differences-between-credible-and-other-comparison-sites","post_tag-new"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How Credible Is Different from Other Lender Comparison Sites | Credible<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Consumers who are shopping for loans expect and deserve the ability to quickly compare personalized rates, not to be treated as \u201cleads\u201d to be handed off or sold to lenders, and tools that allow them to compare the features and costs of real options available to them.
