The Sane Finance GBT

Honest numbers. No sales pressure.

Finance without the sales pressure.

A glowing cyan brain over a night city, its tears falling toward the lights
Clear head first. Then the numbers.

What this is — and what it isn't

It is

A free education, calculator, comparison and preparation tool. You stay in charge and deal with the provider directly.

It isn't

A lender, a credit broker or a regulated financial adviser. Pleading Sanity earns no commission here and sends nobody your details.

Three different things

Planning estimate our maths on your figures · Provider eligibility the provider's own check · Lender decision only the lender makes it.

01 · YOUR FINANCE PROFILE

Tell it once

Saved only on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to ask the AI and tick the box to include it. Leave anything blank you'd rather not say.

What are you trying to buy?

02 · AFFORDABILITY

What can I safely afford? Planning estimate

Fill in your profile and press Save and check affordability.
03 · CREDIT & CIRCUMSTANCES

What might matter to a provider

Your circumstances appear here once your profile is saved.
04 · YOUR ROUTE

What to compare and ask

Choose a route, or save your profile and we'll pick it for you.
05 · VERIFIED PROVIDERS

Providers whose published criteria may fit

We only ever show a provider when its data comes from a verified source and has been checked recently. No invented lenders, rates or reviews. Commission never changes the order.

Checking for a live provider feed… This is optional. You can still prepare everything on this device.

Check any firm yourself

Every UK lender and credit broker must be on the FCA Register. Got an FCA reference number from a quote? Check it.

How to read reviews (and why they're kept separate)
Customer feedback

What people say about service. Check the source, how many reviews, how recent, and whether the provider controls the review page.

Regulatory status

Whether the firm is authorised, and as a lender or broker. Only the FCA Register confirms this.

Finance suitability

Whether the product fits your budget and circumstances. Great reviews don't make a product right for you.

Price

APR, fees and total repayable. A poorly reviewed firm can still have a fair product, and a loved one an expensive product.

06 · COMPARE REAL QUOTES

Put every quote you've been given here

Copy the figures from each quote. We work out the true total. Total cost matters more than a shiny monthly payment.

No quotes yet. Add one when you are ready. Nothing is sent anywhere.
07 · WHY DID I FAIL?

I was declined or referred

We can't see a lender's private decision — nobody outside the lender can. What we can do is separate what you know from what you don't, and tell you exactly what to ask.

08 · TRUTHFUL DOCUMENT PACK

Prepare your paperwork

Built only from what you typed. It will never make payslips, bank statements, proof of address, ID, references, credit reports, signatures or approvals — those must be real.


09 · YOUR HANDOFF

Ready to deal with the provider directly

Pick a quote in the comparison and press Hand off. We send nothing. You decide what to give them.

No provider chosen yet. Pick a quote first if you want to prepare a handoff. We send nothing.
10 · APPLICATION TRACKER

Keep track, privately

Stored only on this device. Only mark Approved when the provider has actually told you so.

11 · ASK THE GBT

Ask before you apply

The AI family (GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok — one drafts, another checks) explains in plain English. It can't see your credit file, doesn't know any lender's criteria, can't approve you, and never supplies rates or provider data.

No sales pitch. Ask in plain English.
12 · THE RULE

You stay in control

Compare total cost

APR, total repayable, fees, deposit, final payment and early-settlement terms.

Soft search first

Eligibility checks show your likelihood without a mark other lenders can see. A full application usually leaves a hard search.

No fake approvals

Only the lender decides. Nobody can guarantee approval — walk away from anyone who does.

Never invent anything

False income, edited documents or hidden debts are fraud, and can leave you far worse off.

Your data

Your profile, quotes, tracker and documents live in this browser's storage only. Pleading Sanity has no copy. Clearing it here removes it from this device.
