- Credit unions offer competitive mortgage rates due to their member-owned, non-profit structure.
- A dashboard compares mortgage rates from over 120 credit unions, updated daily.
- Big banks often charge higher rates to cover marketing costs, unlike credit unions.
- The dashboard collects rates from credit union websites and benchmarks from FRED.
- Users are advised to get multiple quotes and consider credit score, down payment, and property type.
- Optoutprescreen.com is recommended to protect privacy before credit checks.
- FinFam provides interactive guides for financial planning and welcomes feedback.
