Meet Tyler — The Banker Who Actually Explains Things
I’m Tyler St. Germain.
I’ve spent years in banking and lending, helping people understand credit, loans, home buying, and all the other adult things we pretend to understand.
Here’s what I learned:

They struggle because nobody ever explained anything in words that don’t require a dictionary.
So I created a blog to fix that — with simple explanations, real insight, and occasional sarcasm when necessary.
