Our Review Process

Every review on PlainGreenLoansApply.com follows a rigorous methodology:

  1. Research: We gather information directly from lender websites, loan agreements, and official disclosures.
  2. Customer Review Analysis: We analyze hundreds or thousands of customer reviews from sources like Trustpilot, BBB, and Google.
  3. Expert Evaluation: Our CFP® reviews the terms and compares them to industry standards.
  4. Cost Calculations: We calculate real-world examples of total loan costs.
  5. Comparison: We compare each lender against alternatives to provide context.
  6. Regular Updates: We revisit and update reviews at least quarterly.

Our Commitment to Honesty

We believe in radical transparency:

  • We clearly disclose when we earn affiliate commissions
  • We never let compensation influence our ratings or recommendations
  • We highlight the costs, not just the benefits, of every product we review
  • We recommend alternatives, even if we don't earn commissions from them
  • We update our reviews when lenders change their terms
