Six banks, one form, an answer before closing

Applying for car finance used to mean the same paperwork three or four times, then waiting a week to compare offers you could not see next to each other. Our finance desk now takes one set of documents, submits to six Palestinian banks, and comes back with every offer laid out on a single page.

You see the profit rate, the term, the total payable and the early-settlement terms for each bank — including the ones we would not recommend. The comparison is printed, so you can take it home and read it without an advisor beside you.

Most applications submitted before noon are answered the same day. Where a bank asks for something extra, our desk chases it rather than sending you back to the branch.

We earn the same regardless of which bank you choose, and the sheet says so at the bottom. That is the only way a comparison like this means anything.
