We stay with your file.

Most comparison sites hand over your phone number and call it a service. When you choose a partner through Loonwise, our team tracks the file and chases it when it stalls — and we’re equally clear about what we can’t promise.

How it works

Three steps. You only ever need the first one.

1

Tell us it’s stuck

One email with your name and who you’re dealing with. No forms, no ticket number, no account required.

2

We chase it

We contact the provider, find out where the file actually is, and escalate to someone else there if the first person has gone quiet.

3

You get a straight answer

We tell you what’s happening in plain English — including when the answer is no, and what your other options are.

What it is, and what it isn’t

A promise worth having is one with edges. Here are ours, stated as plainly as the promise itself.

What the Assurance does

Our effort, committed
  • Keeps track of where your file is
  • Follows up with the provider on your behalf
  • Escalates when someone stops responding
  • Explains what’s happening, in plain English
  • Helps you switch to a different partner if it can’t proceed

What it doesn’t do

Just as important
  • It isn’t insurance. It pays nothing and covers no loss
  • It isn’t approval. Only your provider can approve you
  • It isn’t a rate guarantee. We don’t set or hold rates
  • It isn’t advice. We compare; licensed professionals advise
  • It doesn’t override what you sign with your provider

Three things nobody can promise you

Not us, and not any comparison site that tells you otherwise. Worth knowing before you start.

Rates expire

A rate you see today can be gone tomorrow, and can move again between applying and closing. Where a lender offers a hold, the hold is theirs — it starts and ends on their terms, and we can’t extend or restore one.

You might not qualify

Seeing a rate here isn’t a pre-approval. Your provider decides, on their own criteria, and may offer different terms or decline. If that happens we’ll say so plainly — but it doesn’t entitle you to a product or a payment.

Your provider is their own business

We check every partner is licensed and in good standing — but they’re independent, not our staff. We don’t control their work, and any penalty or fee on your product is set by them under the agreement you sign with them.

The full terms

Everything above, stated precisely. Open any section — these are the terms that apply.

1. What the Assurance is

When you choose a partner through Loonwise and ask us to stay involved, our team will keep track of where your file is; follow up with the provider on your behalf if it goes quiet; tell you in plain English what is happening and what is needed next; escalate to a different contact at the provider if the first one stops responding; and help you choose a different partner from Loonwise if the file cannot proceed.

That is the whole of it. It is a customer-service commitment, offered at no charge, and we can carry it out only to the extent the provider is willing to speak with us and you have consented to us doing so.

2. What the Assurance is not
  • Not insurance. Despite its name, the Assurance is not insurance, an insurance product, a surety, a warranty, a guarantee, or a financial product of any kind. It does not indemnify you, does not pay out on any event, and transfers no risk to Loonwise. Loonwise does not underwrite or sell insurance.
  • Not a promise of approval. Nothing on Loonwise is an offer of credit, insurance or any other product, and nothing here means you will be approved.
  • Not a rate guarantee. We do not set, control, hold, extend or reinstate any rate.
  • Not advice. Loonwise is a comparison service. We are not a lender, mortgage brokerage or insurer, we do not originate, price, underwrite or approve any product, and nothing we publish or say is financial, mortgage, insurance, tax or legal advice. Decisions about your money are yours, taken with the licensed professional you choose.
  • Not a substitute for reading your agreement. The only terms that bind your product are the ones in the documents you sign with your provider.
3. Rates shown on Loonwise

Rates, premiums, fees and figures shown anywhere on Loonwise are indicative and illustrative. They are gathered from providers and public sources, they can be out of date, and they can change at any time without notice.

  • A rate shown on this site is not an offer and is not available to everyone. The rate you are ultimately offered depends on your circumstances and the provider’s assessment, and is frequently different from the rate displayed.
  • Rates expire. A rate available today may be gone by the time you apply, and may change again between application and closing.
  • Where a provider offers a rate hold, that hold is granted by the provider, on the provider’s terms, and it starts and ends when the provider says it does. Loonwise has no ability to grant, lengthen, restore or enforce a rate hold, and is not responsible if one expires — including where it expires because of delay by you, by the provider, or by any third party such as a lawyer, notary, appraiser or insurer.
  • Our calculators produce estimates for planning only. They are not quotes and they are not approvals.
4. Qualifying, and not qualifying

Loonwise does not decide whether you qualify for anything. We do not assess your creditworthiness, we do not underwrite, and showing you a product is not a pre-approval, a pre-qualification, or an indication that you will be accepted.

  • Eligibility is determined solely by the lender, brokerage or insurer, using their own criteria, which they may change at any time and are not obliged to disclose.
  • If you are declined, or approved on terms different from what you saw here, that is the provider’s decision. The Assurance does not entitle you to a product, a rate, a second review, compensation, a refund or a payment of any kind.
  • If you do not qualify anywhere, we will tell you plainly and, where we can, point you to what would need to change. That is the extent of what we can do.
5. Your provider is independent of us

Every lender, brokerage and insurer reachable through Loonwise is an independent business. We check that partners are licensed and in good standing with their regulator before they appear, and we re-check periodically — but that verification is a check on their standing, not a guarantee of the quality, speed, suitability or correctness of their work.

  • Providers are not our employees or our agents. We do not supervise, direct or control how they run a file, what they recommend, or what they charge.
  • We are not responsible for their acts, omissions, errors, mistakes, delays, misquotes, missed deadlines, lost documents, or advice, or for any loss arising from them.
  • Any penalty, prepayment charge, discharge fee, administration fee, broker fee, appraisal cost or other charge connected to a product is set, disclosed and administered by the provider under the agreement you sign with them. Loonwise does not set these, does not receive them, and cannot waive, reduce or refund them.
  • Your agreement is with the provider, not with Loonwise. Complaints about a provider’s conduct can be raised with them directly and, if unresolved, with their regulator or ombudsman — and we will help you find the right one.
6. How to ask us to step in

Email hello@loonwise.ca with your name, the provider, and what has stalled. The Assurance applies where you chose the partner through Loonwise, the file is still open, and you give us permission to contact the provider about it — we cannot discuss your file with anyone without that consent.

7. The limits of what we can owe you

The Assurance is provided free of charge and as a service. To the fullest extent the law allows:

  • Loonwise provides this site and the Assurance “as is”, without warranties of any kind, including as to the accuracy, completeness or availability of any rate or information shown.
  • Loonwise is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost opportunity, or the difference between a rate you hoped for and a rate you received.
  • Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you for any claim connected to the Assurance or this site is limited to CAD $100.
Nothing on this page removes or limits any right you have under applicable consumer protection law, including Quebec’s Consumer Protection Act, or any liability that cannot be excluded by law. Where a term here conflicts with such a right, that right applies and the rest of this page continues to apply.
8. Changes to the Assurance

We may update the Assurance and this page. The version in force is the one published here on the day you ask us to step in, and the effective date below tells you when it last changed.

Effective date: August 3, 2026 · Applies to loonwise.ca and all Loonwise comparison tools
