Where to find the cost to borrow a stock?

Is there a way to find the cost to borrow for a stock online, without having to subscribe to a premium service? Apologies for the basic question, but have tried the search function and Google and haven't found an answer yet. Note specifically looking for annualized cost to borrow, not shares shorted or % float shorted.

Have some great tasting SBs to share if anyone can provide an answer or can be kind enough to look up the cost to borrow for a specific stock.

Thanks in advance!

It's part of the financing agreement that a bank has with its clients so I assume you'd have to be a client to get a quote.

If you just need to have an idea of the borrow fees charged (maybe to have a sense of how liquid it is or how's the current shorting appetite) let me know which names and I can show you a few numbers of what some PBs are charging.
