I think the main difference would be the possibility to bypass 5/24 if an application was submitted in the branch. I heard the bankers have some influence in the process, but I'm not sure. Maybe they input your info, find pre-approval offers, and take it from there. Anyone applied for Freedom Unlimited in branch and was approved despite being over 5/24 ?
