How borrowing works locally

A broker arranges credit but does not lend, and the lender remains the party that makes the decision.

A prepayment privilege allows a borrower to pay more than the scheduled amount, sometimes with a charge attached. Adding a co-signer puts a second file in front of the lender and adds a second person to the obligation.
