etukäteiskysely

Etukäteiskysely, also known as a pre-approval or pre-qualification, is a process used by financial institutions to assess a potential borrower's creditworthiness before they apply for a loan. This process helps lenders determine the likelihood of a borrower repaying the loan and the amount they can afford to borrow. It is commonly used for mortgages, car loans, and personal loans.

The pre-approval process typically involves the following steps:

1. Gathering of financial information: The borrower provides the lender with their income, employment history, credit score, and other relevant financial information.

2. Credit check: The lender reviews the borrower's credit report to assess their credit history and score.

3. Loan amount determination: Based on the borrower's financial information and creditworthiness, the lender determines the maximum loan amount the borrower can afford to repay.

4. Pre-approval letter: The lender issues a pre-approval letter to the borrower, outlining the loan amount, interest rate, and other terms and conditions.

Pre-approval is not a guarantee of a loan, but it does indicate that the lender is willing to proceed with the loan application if the borrower chooses to do so. It also allows the borrower to shop for the best loan terms and conditions from multiple lenders.

Pre-approval is particularly useful for borrowers who are in the process of purchasing a home, car, or other significant asset, as it provides them with a clear idea of their borrowing capacity and helps them make informed decisions. However, it is important for borrowers to understand that pre-approval is based on the information provided at the time of the pre-approval and may change if there are significant changes in the borrower's financial situation.
