How to Get Your Loan Decision Faster

Have you ever applied for a loan and only have it sit on your lender’s desk for days without an answer?

Chances are this has happened to you. The reason for this could be obvious- your lender is busy with other applications or possibly out of the office. There isn’t much you can do about this other than let your lender know upfront that you need an answer by a certain date so they can better accommodate your request.
