About This Role
Loan officers evaluate whether individuals and businesses qualify for loans, then guide them through the borrowing process from initial application to final approval. They spend much of their day reviewing financial documents such as tax returns, bank statements, and credit reports to assess whether an applicant can comfortably repay what they are borrowing. A loan officer might meet with a first-time homebuyer to explain the difference between a fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage, or sit down with a small business owner to discuss options for a commercial loan to fund an expansion.
