the world.

As NAMMBA grew, intentional and strategic initiatives became more robust. The NAMMBA Foundation was born as a targeted approach to creating a university-to-career pipeline for the mortgage industry.

Mission2025: NAMMBA Foundation’s initiative to introduce 50,000 college students to the mortgage finance industry by 2025. This includes our newest NextGen Program, bringing financial literacy and mortgage industry mentorship to college campuses across the country through the support of NAMMBA Partners and Sponsors.

The foundation also supports the NAMMBA Leadership Academy, helping professionals launch their careers forward by giving them a better understanding of the mortgage industry as a whole.

NAMMBA’s Visionary Program pairs seasoned professionals with students, recent grads, and new starters in a mentorship program designed to give both mentors and mentees a career boost.

NAMMBA Consulting was born after one of our Partner companies came to us for help with finding the right people for their specialized community lending team. We got to work, scouring our membership for just the right people for the job.

An online tool for NAMMBA Consulting, Talent Hub, is a platform for college students and recent graduates who need career guidance and assistance with finding their first job in lending. Our business clients and Partners are then able to acquire their entry-level talent from a source already well versed in the mortgage industry.

We also provide certified and accredited DEI training through our ASIL and CCL programs, as well as keynote speaking, cross-cultural strategy design, and fractional chief diversity officer services.

You can do better than guessing at what the future holds for lending when you work with NAMMBA and our joint venture with iEmergent called Diversifi. By getting ultra-niche within your market, we help you to better understand real-time data, connecting you with a growing community of borrowers. Get more originations, improve closing rates, and meet your LMI/CRA goals, all with one powerful big-data tool that shows you where to focus your resources as a business or an individual loan officer.

The last component of NAMMBA’s family of companies is our newest service, Cultural Outreach.

We assist with social media coaching, market-targeted content, white-label financial literacy instruction, and keynote engagement for prospects and employees, as well as webinars for cultural awareness. All are designed to help you reach young and diverse markets with an authentic cross-cultural approach to marketing, training, and product development.
