Your trust is important to us. To earn it, we conduct a rigorous, unbiased analysis with a transparent methodology and maintain strict editorial standards and independence.

Selecting Mortgage Lenders
We selected the largest U.S. commercial banks by asset volume, according to the Federal Reserve, and analyzed Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data to identify the top direct-to-consumer mortgage originators by portfolio volume. Additional lenders were included based on their relevance to our users, using metrics like monthly search volume.

Rating Mortgage Lenders
U.S. News scores lenders based on multiple factors in three major categories – affordability, eligibility and customer service – identifying the highest overall performers. Factors are weighted based on a nationwide survey of consumers’ top considerations when choosing a home loan.

Collecting and Reviewing Data
U.S. News uses Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for actual loan costs and terms, typically from the previous calendar year. We also gather information from lenders’ websites and conduct direct surveys to fill gaps. Clear, transparent website information benefits consumers. Lenders may update their offerings quarterly, so we fact-check our data each quarter for changes.
