Lender transparency scores
The share of 12 core STR loan terms each lender publishes on its own website or program documents. It measures how much is published, not loan quality, pricing or service. A lower score means we couldn't find those terms in public, not that the lender lacks them. Direct lenders only: 25 ranked; referral sources such as Easy Lending USA are not ranked.
When a lender publishes more of its terms, we re-check and update the score. Lenders and readers can send us the page where the terms now appear. Scores use lender data last verified Oct 19, 2026. How the score works.
