sound out
"Sound out" is the best idiomatic translation I can think of, but I don't think it's that great, frankly. That's essentially what "höra sig för" means, though: to go to people (or, in this case, banks) and ask what they think about something.

inquire, make inquiries
"Höra sig för" also has the meaning of gathering information by inquiring.
