The beauty of competition. The person lending you money always could fuck you over, but the greed of other banks would save you in that scenario. Which they know, so they don't fuck you over. Same reason grocery stores don't wait until you fill your cart up and then jack up the prices as soon as you reach the register.

Oh, but they can do that now. I’ve been in grocery stores where they had ip-addressable e-ink screens for the price tags which updated regularly.
