Lending for everything from autos to credit cards has gotten tighter this year.
  • A Federal Reserve survey found that the rejection rate for credit applicants increased to 21.8% at an annualized rate in June.
  • That's the highest mark since June 2018.
  • On average, the reported probability that a loan would be rejected increased for all loans, from autos to credit cards.

For anything from credit cards to auto loans, lending conditions are getting tougher and tougher for Americans.
