Online banks pretty much operate the same way as land-based banks. The main difference is that online banks typically have less overhead costs than a physical brick-and-mortar bank. These savings is then passed onto the consumers.
On the same token though, banks, both online and offline, are in business to make money. So, don’t let your guard down, and keep researching and comparing for the best deal out there. Another thing to remember is that mortgage rates are dependent on indices, so timing is an important factor when taking out a new loan.
