Published minimum eligibility criteria for the lender's own products, quoted from its page on the date shown. A lender that publishes nothing is listed with that fact rather than an estimate, and a lender whose page we could not read is listed separately again, because not knowing is not the same as there being nothing. A published minimum is a floor and not an approval: the amount, the term, the industry and the bank statements all still decide the answer. This record ranks nobody on merit and carries no lender recommendation.
