Lenders provide mortgages to help you purchase a home. These lenders can be banks, trust companies, credit unions, caisses populaires, pension funds, insurance companies, and finance companies. By offering these loans, they enable you to spread the cost of buying a home over time, making homeownership more accessible. Each type of lender may offer different terms and conditions, so it’s important to compare options to find the best fit for your needs.
