Customized Portfolio Loans

Partner Credit Unions can build specific products that will provide flexibility for your specific market. These loans are held as an asset in your Credit Union lending portfolio and ineligible to be sold on the secondary market. Portfolio mortgages offer your members greater flexibility in the loan approval process.

Your Credit Union loans will not be sold off. They will be serviced by a Midwest service provider who has employees dedicated to taking care of your members just as you would.

For many Credit Unions, serving the underserved is a critical mission point. Offering government-backed lending through Members Mortgage Services is just one other way you can help those who might not qualify for a conventional loan. Government-backed loans allow for some relaxation of lending requirements and special advantages to make home ownership accessible to lower income household and first-time buyers. The MMS government broker team is dedicated to guiding your Credit Union and your members through the entire loan process.

Available government-backed loan programs:

This does not exclude any borrower eligible for the FHA loan program.
