About NAMB
The National Association
of Mortgage Brokers is the voice of the mortgage broker industry,
representing the interests of mortgage brokers and homebuyers
since 1973.
The Association is committed
to promoting the highest degree of professionalism and ethical
standards for its members. In addition to mandating members
adhere to a professional code of ethics, NAMB provides mortgage
brokers with professional education opportunities, and offers
rigorous certification programs to recognize members with
the highest levels of professional knowledge and education.
As the sole national trade association for this industry,
NAMB is affiliated with all 50 state associations and the
District of Columbia. NAMB’s active lobbying and advocacy
efforts frequently focus on national and state issues.
The Association hosts several
meetings throughout the year. NAMB also offers members a host
of benefits aimed at increasing productivity and lowering
business costs. Most NAMB members are small business owners.
Since mortgage brokers participate
in more than 50% of home loans originations, homebuyers’ interests
are also important to NAMB. The Association supports a consumer
education and fraud reporting program with information and
links available on the http://www.namb.org
website.
Why
did NAMB Create the Lending Integrity Seal of Approval?
NAMB saw a need for Hardworking, Professional,
Ethical Mortgage Brokers to distinguish themselves from the
few bad actors who operate in the mortgage industry. A way
for consumers to easily identify loan originators who have
pledge to abide by a National Standard when it comes to a
Professional Standards, a Code of Ethics, Continuing Education,
and more.
