Online borrowing would be new to me, so any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA
In 2018 I was planning to refinance to lock in a fixed rate. The on-line lenders are predatory. As soon as you click "OK" you are deluged by lenders who assume you are stupid or desperate or have poor credit. The rates and closing costs were horrible. Much worse than the local name-brand banks. I eventually got a good deal at my old employer credit union.

I am using them now for a home equity line of credit. Could have locked in a 3.99% but needed larger loan-to-value, so I took 5.25%. A little less than Wells Fargo.
