What is a 'Lender'
A lender is an individual, a public group, a private group or a financial institution that makes funds
available to another with the expectation that the funds will be repaid, in addition to any interest Trending
and/or fees, either in increments (as in a monthly mortgage payment) or as a lump sum. The Trump Economy: News and Analysis

loans.
Factors Determining Loan Qualification Trading Center
Qualifying for a loan depends largely on the borrower's credit history. The lender examines the
borrower's credit report, which details the names of other lenders extending credit, what types of
credit are extended, the borrower's repayment history and more. The report helps the lender
determine whether the borrower is comfortable managing payments based on current employment
and income. The lender may also evaluate the borrower's current and new debt compared to
before-tax income to determine the borrower's debt-to-income
debt-to-income(DTI)
(DTI) ratio. Lenders may also use the
Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) score in the borrower's credit report to determine creditworthiness
and help make a lending decision.

pledges collateral. The value of the collateral is evaluated, and the existing debt secured by the
collateral is subtracted from its value. The remaining equity affects the lending decision.
The lender evaluates a borrower's capital, including savings, investments and other assets that may
be used to repay the loan if household income is insufficient. This is helpful in case of a job loss or
other financial challenge.
The lender may ask what the borrower plans to do with the loan, such as buy a vehicle or other
property. Other factors may also be considered, such as environmental or economic conditions.
