Why this exists

The numbers exist. They just live in the wrong place.

Every month, banks across the eurozone report what they charge for new loans. The European Central Bank publishes that data, broken down by country, loan type, and amount.

It’s technical. It’s slow to find. And it’s essentially invisible to the people who actually need it — the borrowers sitting across the desk from their banker.

BorrowProof translates that data into one screen: your country, your loan type, your amount, your rate. And whether what you’ve been quoted is fair.
