Residential mortgage lending

Strategic Profile

The company sets itself apart as a mortgage lender making strides in meeting the needs of underserved communities who have faced discriminatory lending practices, with a goal to provide $20 billion of new mortgages to Black families and $10 billion of new mortgages to Latino families by 2028. The lender's large portfolio includes fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages, VA loans, FHA loans, USDA loans, jumbo loans, and its proprietary I CAN Mortgage.

Cyborg Score Rationale

New American Funding demonstrates strong market positioning with significant scale ($70B loan portfolio), extensive geographic reach (270+ branches), and differentiated equity-focused strategy targeting underserved communities.
