Traditional mortgage comparison sites immediately attempt to monetize you and often treat you as a lead to sell. These sites simply collect your information to sell to mortgage brokers and agents, which results in you being bombarded by spam calls and aggressive salespeople.

approvU is paid a commission by the mortgage lender for helping you get the right mortgage.
Our tool is free for all. However, we charge a small service fee for non-traditional borrowers (specifically those applying for bad credit mortgages or self-employed mortgages), which is only due after the mortgage is funded and closed. This small fee helps us cover the cost of the extra resources needed for bad credit and self-employed mortgages. The fee we charge is way lower than what you would spend if you chose to go with a broker or agent.
