A pre-application checklist for Keystone

Before you hand your details to a lender in Keystone, where the population is near 621:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Iowa regulator's licence list.
5. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
6. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
7. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
