United Wholesale Mortgage Gets $1.5 Billion Oaktree Lifeline After $603 Million Hedge Loss.
United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) secures $1.5 billion in private capital from Oaktree Capital Management following a $603 million hedge loss, suspension of its dividend, and a significant decline in UWM’s stock price.
GCA Mortgage Forums News: Updated: August 14, 2026
United Wholesale Mortgage, the country’s leading wholesale mortgage lender, is facing one of the toughest periods in its financial history.
UWM Holdings Corporation, which owns United Wholesale Mortgage, reported a $451.9 million net loss for the second quarter of 2026. Most of this loss came from a $603.2 million loss in financial contracts related to its attempt to buy Two Harbors Investment Corp. At the same time, UWM announced a major capital deal led by Oaktree Capital Management.
Stakeholders across the mortgage industry, including borrowers, brokers, loan officers, and investors, are raising a central question:
Did United Wholesale Mortgage require a $1.5 billion capital infusion?
The answer is more complicated than just yes or no.
UWM received $1.5 billion in private preferred stock investment from Oaktree Capital Management, not a government or taxpayer-funded bailout. The Ishbia family added $150 million, bringing the total preferred stock investment to $1.65 billion. UWM also announced a $400 million rights offering, which, together with the preferred stock investment, could create a total capital package of $2.05 billion.
This new funding helps United Wholesale Mortgage’s short-term cash flow and allows it to keep lending. Still, it follows a big loss on financial contracts, a steep drop in stock price, a suspended dividend, and rising concerns about the company’s accounting.
Analysis of United Wholesale Mortgage’s Recent Financial Events
United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) is still the country’s largest mortgage company. During the second quarter of 2026, they funded $39.7 billion in mortgages. Purchase mortgages accounted for $23.8 billion, and an additional $15.9 billion was funded through refinancings.
The primary issue is a credit derivative tied to UWM’s attempted acquisition of Two Harbors Investment Corp.
UWM’s Acquisition of Two Harbors
UWM was interested in acquiring Two Harbors because the acquisition would have greatly enhanced UWM’s mortgage servicing business. When the acquisition was announced in December 2025, the purchase price was approximately $1.3 billion.
The proposed acquisition was abandoned after CrossCountry Mortgage made a competing offer for Two Harbors.
UWM made a major financial move to protect itself before the acquisition. When the deal collapsed and the markets turned, the company suffered a large loss.
Losses from financial contracts of about $603.2 million were reported. This loss happened mainly because the acquisition failed.
UWM Suffers Impact of Hedge Loss As $603 Million Derivatives Position Realized
The value of servicing rights changes a lot when interest rates change. To manage this risk, companies with large servicing portfolios use financial contracts.
UWM’s situation was unusual: it had made financial bets to protect servicing rights on mortgage assets for a deal that never happened.
The financial contracts caused a loss of about $603 million, which canceled out positive business results and led to a $451.9 million net loss for the second quarter of 2022.
However, UWM still reported approximately $888 million in second-quarter revenue and $185.9 million in adjusted EBITDA. Its total gain margin improved to 133 basis points from 123 basis points during the first quarter of 2022.
This is important because, even with the hit to its finances, UWM kept making mortgages and earning revenue during the quarter.
Assessment of the $1.5 Billion Capital Infusion at UWM
Many people have called this deal a “bailout” since UWM announced it, but borrowers and mortgage professionals should know what really happened.
Oaktree Capital Management invested $1.5 billion in UWM’s preferred stock. Another $150 million was invested by SFS Group Capital, a fund controlled by the Ishbia Family. Together, the first part of the preferred stock investment totaled $1.65 billion.
This investment came from private sources.
No government agency invested the $1.5 billion, and UWM was not rescued by taxpayers. A better way to describe this deal is as a private cash lifeline or rescue, not a government bailout.
The Wall Street Journal labeled Oaktree’s investment as rescue financing, while the Financial Times classified the broader transaction as a multibillion-dollar lifeline.
UWM’s Total Capital Plan Is Potentially $2.05 Billion
The $1.5 Billion Oaktree Investment is Only One Part of the Overall Transaction
Oaktree invested $1.5 billion in preferred equity, and the Ishbia family invested $150 million. UWM also announced a $400 million rights offering to Class A shareholders.
According to UWM’s announcement on August 5, the rights offering has an October 2, 2026, record date and will run from October 5 to November 12, 2021.
The $2.05 billion capital package does not mean UWM has that much cash available. The $1.65 billion in preferred stock financing was the only part funded at first. The $400 million is from the planned rights offering.
The Oaktree Financing Is Expensive Capital
Oaktree did not extend a $1.5 billion loan to United Wholesale Mortgage.
Oaktree’s investment included preferred stock and warrants, placing Oaktree in a much stronger position than common stockholders.
Documents about the deal say the preferred stock will pay at least a 10% dividend, but if UWM pays dividends with more preferred stock instead of cash, the rate would be 13%.
This means UWM will owe about $150 million each year in preferred dividends on the $1.5 billion Oaktree investment, even before other deal details are finalized. The investors also received warrants they can use to buy more equity in UWM.
Oaktree Gains Greater Influence at UWM
This transaction involves more than raising capital.
UWM has said that an Oaktree representative will join its board of directors and that Oaktree can also choose another independent director.
The financing reporting explains other consent and governance rights that Oaktree will enjoy.
This financing is more than a typical capital raise. UWM brought in a major investor at a crucial moment. Stopping its quarterly dividend is another big change for the company.
The company explained that the suspension is to support its goal of reducing debt and strengthening the balance sheet.
UWM’s common dividend was an important part of UWMC’s investment case.
The suspension shows UWM is changing its priorities. The company is choosing to save cash and pay down debt, so payments to shareholders are on hold for now.
Why Did UWMC Stock Fall So Much in 2026?
UWM’s second-quarter financial revelations sent shockwaves through the market.
According to The Wall Street Journal, UWM’s stock dropped 35% in the quarter, leading to a total decline of over 70% for the year. Investors reacted to a series of troubling events: a $603 million loss on financial contracts, a $451.9 million net loss for the quarter, a suspended dividend, expensive preferred stock, possible stock dilution from warrants and rights offerings, and new control powers for Oaktree. Even though UWM kept up strong mortgage lending, these changes hurt common shareholders.
United Wholesale Mortgage’s Position as the Largest U.S. Mortgage Lender
Yes, based on UWM’s current company disclosures.
UWM says it is the largest home mortgage lender in the United States, the top wholesale mortgage lender for 11 consecutive years, and the largest purchase mortgage lender in the country. Its business model is a key reason for its importance in the mortgage market.
UWM Serves Wholesale Mortgage Market
While many mortgage companies lend directly to consumers, UWM is different in that it operates only in the wholesale market. It partners with independent mortgage brokers and companies, unlike competitors who focus on direct lending.
UWM’s financial health is important to independent mortgage brokers for several reasons.
Thousands of mortgage professionals utilize the wholesale lending ecosystem for underwriting, pricing, technology, loan program formation, funding, and loan delivery.
Given UWM’s size, its actions are especially significant for the entire broker community.
Mortgage brokers should distinguish between UWM’s financial challenges and its ongoing ability to originate mortgage loans.
UWM reported $1.3 billion in available cash as of June 30, 2026, before its new capital plan. The company says it will use the new funds to pay off debt, boost equity, and improve cash flow. UWM remains committed to investing in its broker network, technology, AI, and servicing operations. Leaving wholesale lending is not an option, since brokers are central to UWM’s long-term plans. Still, the company faces real challenges: a $603 million loss on financial contracts, a suspended dividend, a major capital deal, and a big drop in stock price have all shaken the nation’s largest wholesale lender.
Brokers should watch UWM’s cash flow, pricing, product availability, loan approval ability, service quality, and earnings outlook. Mortgage brokers help consumers get the best rates and terms. Independent brokers can pick from many lenders and find the best deals. The market works well when many licensed lenders compete for loans. Usually, independent brokers benefit more from many competitive lenders than from fewer, bigger ones.
More Than $ 500 Million. The situation with Two Harbors is still unresolved and ongoing. A lawsuit filed on August 10, 2026, claims over $500 million against Two Harbors related to the failed merger. Besides breach of contract, UWM has accused Two Harbors of fraud and other issues.s strongly opposes all of those claims.
UWM has also publicly discussed the merger and the financial bet that caused the derivatives loss. The lawsuits are ongoing with opposing sides. A court has not yet decided who is right. The result will greatly affect reporting in the mortgage industry.
The Mortgage Industry
Implications Beyond Wall Street
While UWMC’s falling stock gets a lot of attention, the effects go far beyond Wall Street. The independent mortgage broker channel is still crucial, and with $39 billion in originations last quarter, even after the Two Harbors setback, UWM’s mortgage business is still going strong.
UWM’s balance sheet has changed significantly. As a major preferred equity investor, it suspended its common dividend, plans to reduce debt, has new governance, and is considering a possible $400 million rights offering.
These changes are setting up an important period for UWM. Industry observers and analysts will be watching the next few quarters closely.
The main question is not just if UWM survived a tough quarter, but what the company will look like after this major capital overhaul.
The mortgage industry will look closely to see how far UWM is willing to reduce leverage, how fast UWM will pay back preferred equity, when UWM will reinstate the common dividend, how the planned rights offering will proceed, how the Two Harbors litigation will progress, and whether UWM will maintain low margins and high market share in the wholesale lending channels.
UWM’s ability to earn consistent margins in its core origination and servicing business will also be critical, along with UWM avoiding another large loss from its derivatives positions.
UWM is still the leader in the wholesale mortgage market, but the $1.5 billion Oaktree investment comes at a high cost.
This is not a story about a mortgage giant shutting down.
Instead, it is the story of UWM—the nation’s largest wholesale mortgage lender—absorbing a major financial blow, raising costly equity to fortify its balance sheet, and still holding its ground as a broker leader. Mortgage brokers, rivals, borrowers, and investors alike are watching UWM’s next move with keen interest.
United Wholesale Mortgage Capital Rescue – Frequently Asked Questions
Did UWM Get a $1.5 Billion Bailout?
The $1.5 billion in funding was not a government bailout or a funding mechanism that required taxpayer dollars. It was a private preferred equity financing by Oaktree Capital Management. The Ishbia family also made a $150 million investment, bringing the total amount funded to $1.65 billion in preferred equity financing. UWM announced a planned $400 million equity offering.
Is UWM in Financial Distress?
UWM reported significant financial impacts in the second quarter of 2026, including a net loss of $451.9 million and a derivatives loss of $603.2 million, and was forced to suspend common dividend payments and raise significant additional funds. UWM continues to originate mortgages in the tens of billions of dollars, and UWM reported $1.3 billion of liquid assets as of June 30, before the new capital transaction.
Why Did UWMC Drop?
UWMC stock plummeted as UWM reported a derivatives loss, a net loss, a suspension of the common dividend, and preferred equity financing. It is a large financing that will also allow UWMC stock to be further diluted with potential warrants and a rights offering. After UWM announced the financing, UWMC stock was looking at roughly a 70% drop in its market value for 2026, according to The Wall Street Journal.
What Notes Should We Take From UWM’s Statement Regarding the $603 Million Loss?
Approximately $603.2 million is how much UWM puts the loss related to the termination of its derivatives contract on. Most of that amount can be attributed to a hedging transaction related to UWM’s aborted acquisition of Two Harbors Investment Corporation. Because UWM terminated the acquisition, the company was left holding the bag on the hedging transaction, which ultimately proved costly.
Has United Wholesale Mortgage Stopped Dividend Payments?
UWM halted its dividend payments on its common stock after the second quarter of 2026. The company stated it preferred to deleverage its balance sheet. The company noted it might reinstate dividend payments in the future; however, it noted it would depend on the economic environment.
Will UWM File For Bankruptcy?
UWM has not filed for bankruptcy protection. Rather, the company raised $1.65 billion through preferred equity and announced a $400 million rights offering to strengthen its position, repay debt, and enhance its balance sheet. This is not without financial risk, but it is a much more favorable situation than the company filing for bankruptcy.
Is UWM Still the Leading Wholesale Mortgage Lender?
Yes. UWM remains the largest wholesale mortgage lender in the U.S., having been the leader for the past 12 consecutive years. UWM originated $39.7 billion worth of mortgages during the second quarter of 2026.
Impact of UWM’s Financial Instability on Mortgage Brokers and Borrowers
Currently, there have been no reported impacts on UWM’s overall mortgage lending. UWM states that with the new capital, its balance sheet will remain healthy, and it will continue to invest in independent mortgage brokers, technology, services, and other areas. However, mortgage brokers should continue to monitor UWM’s finances due to the company’s significant market share and potential market impact.
Conclusion: UWM’s $1.5 Billion Capital Infusion
Of all the hurdles UWM has faced, 2026 stands out as its toughest financial year yet.
A failed acquisition led to a $603 million derivatives loss and a $451.9 million second-quarter net loss for UWM. Oaktree Capital has provided a $1.5 billion cash injection, with an additional $150 million from the Ishbia Family. UWM also plans a $400 million equity round to raise further capital.
No, the $1.5 billion does not make this a government bailout. This is a significant, private capital rescue or financial lifeline.
For the mortgage industry, the real question is how UWM will put this capital to work. If it strengthens the balance sheet and fuels new investments, the infusion could pay off in the long run. But if cash burn continues and dividends remain on ice, costly financing and dilution may cast a shadow. This saga matters far beyond UWM shareholders. When the country’s largest wholesale mortgage lender loses nearly $700 million and raises over $1.5 billion in outside capital, every broker, competitor, and industry insider is watching closely.

What are the duties for a contract processor versus in-house mortgage processor? I heard contract mortgage processors do not upload documents and the MLO needs to do it? Is that true? Do borrowers complain about the added fees and costs of contract processing? What is the main difference of the scope of work and duties between Contract Processors vs In-House Mortgage Processors? Thank you in advance.
-
Can you give us a breakdown on contract processing:
1. Out of $995, what does the contract processor take and what does Kim take?
2. Doesn’t every contract processor have different charges and breakdowns?
3. Is Non-QM different from government and conforming loans?
4. How do contract processors get compensated on correspondent loans?
Thank you.

FHA Loan Without Tax Returns
Many people think you need to submit several years of tax returns when applying for an FHA loan. In reality, regular W-2 employees may qualify without them.
FHA lenders often check your income using recent pay stubs, W-2 forms, employment verification, and other documents instead of full tax returns.
When Do FHA Loans Not Require Tax Returns?
Usually, tax returns are not required for an FHA loan if you are:
- a full-time, W-2 employee
- salaried or paid by the hour
- receiving consistent income and
- engaged in the same work
- not claiming significant unreimbursed business expenses
- not self-employed
- not a business owner
Most FHA lenders will look at your:
- recent pay stubs
- W-2 forms for the past 2 years
- Verification of Employment (VOE)
- and, when applicable, bank statements
If your employer documents all your income, you usually do not need to provide tax returns.
When Do FHA Lenders Require Tax Returns?
FHA lenders usually require tax returns if you are:
- self-employed
- a 1099 employee
- paid by commission
- receiving rental income
- farm income
- partnership income
- S Corporation income
- trust income
- or K-1 income
Lenders use tax returns to figure out your qualifying income and see which deductions and business expenses apply.
FHA Loans Using Pay Stub Only: An Overview
Sometimes, this is possible.
If you are a stable full-time W-2 employee, a lender may ask for or accept the following documents:
- The most recent 30 days’ pay stubs
- The last 2 years’ W-2 statements
- Verification of employment form completed and signed by the applicant’s employer.
Even so, most lenders want W-2 statements along with pay stubs. They usually do not rely only on pay stubs to check your income.
FHA Loan Pay Stub Documentation Standards
Pay stubs show the following about your income:
- The income is stable.
- The income can be verified.
- The income will likely continue.
The underwriter looks at your income documents to decide if you can afford the mortgage.
FHA Loans and Filing for a Tax Extension
Sometimes, borrowers who file for a tax extension can still qualify for an FHA loan.
In such cases, a lender may request and/or rely on the following documentation:
- Evidence of an IRS extension
- Year-to-date P&L statements (self-employed)
- Personal business bank statements
- You may need to show proof that you have made tax payments or set up a payment plan. Lenders might also ask for more documents to verify your income.
FHA Loans for Self-Employed Individuals
If you are self-employed, you must provide tax returns. FHA lenders will look at the following documents:
- Personal tax returns
- Business tax returns (if applicable)
- Profit and loss statements
- Balance sheets (if applicable)
This is because self-employed income can vary widely from year to year.
Observations Regarding FHA Borrowers
Many people think tax returns are always needed for an FHA loan. But if you have a simple W-2 job, you may not need to provide them. Underwriters usually ask questions if your income changes a lot, comes from several jobs, or is from self-employment.
Clear, simple income documents help underwriters verify your income and speed up loan approval.
Summary
If you have a steady W-2 job, you may be able to get an FHA loan without submitting tax returns. Most lenders check your job and income using pay stubs, W-2 forms, and employment verification. But if you are self-employed or have a more complicated income, you usually need to provide tax returns.

Yes, there are a few options, but the quickest and least expensive is usually not to “transfer the DBA.” In most states, a mortgage DBA or trade name is connected to the licensed company or branch, not the individual loan officer. So, if your current mortgage banker owns the DBA filing in NMLS and in each state, they handle the cancellation or changes.
The General Concept: A DBA In Mortgages Is Not the Same as Relocating a Website
In mortgage licensing, a DBA is called an “Other Trade Name” or a fake name used by the licensed company. According to NMLS, Other Trade Names include business names, fake names, official DBAs, and “doing business as” names. NMLS also says the name should be recorded and shown exactly as it appears in ads, letters, and materials sent to customers.
Consequently, Your Existing DBA Is Most Likely Affiliated With One Or Several Of The Following:Company MU1
- The overarching licensed mortgage banker’s company record.
Branch MU3
- A specific branch record associated with that company.
- State Secretary of State or fictitious-name registrations
- Certain states require DBA/fictitious-name filings at the state level, outside NMLS.
Advertising And Compliance Approvals
- Websites, email signatures, business cards, social media, and consumer-directed marketing.
- It’s not just about “can I move the DBA to C2C?”
- The key questions are: who owns the trademark, who files the legal paperwork, and will C2C register that trade name in the states where you want to use it if they can and want to?
Does Your Current Employer Need To Cancel The DBA?
- The answer is most likely yes if the DBA is the same one that is registered and active under your current employer’s mortgage company or branch licenses.
- If your current employer uses the DBA in NMLS, they usually have to update their NMLS record to remove the Other Trade Name from the relevant company or branch filings.
- NMLS requires that Other Trade Names be listed for the names a company uses in states that participate in NMLS, and branch Other Trade Names must be included on the Company Form.
In some states, an Advance Change Notice is required before In some states, you must give advance notice before adding, changing, or removing trade names. For example, Nevada’s checklist for mortgage banker/broker changes states that adding, changing, or removing Other Trade Names requires 30 days’ advance notice via the Company MU1 form.
The Current Employer Will Need To:
- Eliminate the DBA/Other Trade Name from NMLS.
- Revise branch records if the DBA is tied to a branch.
- Withdraw or cancel state fictitious-name filings where demand is required.
- Cease the use of the name in promotional materials.
- Possibly revise their compliance materials, signage, records, and advertising, as well as their websites.
What Happens If The Current Employer Refuses or Claims It Is Too Much Work?
- This is the problem. If your employer controls the NMLS record and state DBA filings, you probably cannot close the NMLS record yourself using your MLO account.
- You only have some influence because the employer controls the brand.
Case 1: You Personally Control the Brand Name
- If you own the trademark, domain, logo, website, and brand identity, you probably have a strong business and legal reason to ask the employer to stop using the brand after you leave.
- However, the NMLS and state records will likely stay under the company’s name, and their compliance or licensing team will need to handle any changes.
Case 2: The Employer Controls the DBA
- If the current mortgage banker filed the DBA, paid the fees, and listed it under its licenses, the regulator may see it as that company’s trade name until it is taken off.
Case 3: Ambiguous Ownership
This is the hardest situation to be in.
Before you try to move, you should have all of the following ready:
- Your DBA registration documents
- Your state fictitious-name documents
- Your domain ownership records
- Your files for the creation of the logo
- Your trademark filings, if any, and
- Your employment agreement or branch agreement
- Your records of marketing approval
- And any evidence you have that you retained brand ownership
- This is where a mortgage licensing attorney or a compliance consultant can assist you.
How Much Would it Cost?
- Unfortunately, there is no clear answer because state laws differ and control company changes, branch changes, DBA filings, cancellations, approvals for new trade names, and filings with the Secretary of State.
- However, NMLS processing fees are usually lower than state fees and the cost of handling licensing. NMLS lists fees as $120 for Company Form MU1, $25 for Branch Form MU3, $35 for Individual Form MU4, and $35 for MLO sponsorship changes per agency or license.
- But even if your NMLS fees are low, your total cost will not be. State fees, Secretary of State fees, registered agent costs, branch changes, trade-name approvals, compliance checks, legal reviews, and licensing vendor fees all add up.
- For 10 states, a realistic budget could range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on:
- How many states require separate fictitious-name filings
- Whether C2C must add the name at the company level, branch level, or both
- Whether each state charges an amendment fee
- Whether legal or licensing vendors are necessary
- Whether the old company will do what is necessary
- Whether the name is already taken or restricted in a state
- NMLS also directs companies to use the License Requirements and Fees Chart for company and branch amendments, as well as state-specific requirements.
Can You Use Your Brand Without Being A DBA At C2C ?
- Yes, this may be the simplest solution, but it can be very complex.
- The quickest and most cost-effective way might be using your name as a marketing brand/team name rather than a legal DBA, as long as the language is approved by C2C compliance.
Examples Are:
- Preferred Mortgage Rates Powered by C2C Lender
- Preferred Mortgage Rates, a Mortgage Powered by C2C Lender
- Preferred Mortgage Rates at C2C Lender
- Preferred Mortgage Rates, Sponsored by C2C Lender
- Preferred Mortgage Rates– C2C Lending Branch/Team
This avoids the need to set up a formal DBA in every state right away. However, ads must clearly show the licensed company, NMLS ID, branch NMLS ID, and the individual MLO NMLS ID. Customers should not think the brand is separately licensed if it is just a marketing or team name.
Best Practical Strategy
The Most Effective Way Is Likely The Following: Option 1: Fastest and Cheapest
- Use your brand as a marketing/team brand with language-approved disclosure.
- Preferred Mortgage Rates Powered by C2C Lender
- Licensed Mortgage Loan Originators
- Name Under C2C
- Request that C2C submit your brand.
- Ask. C2C, file your brand as an Other Trade Name in the states where they allow.
- NMLS allows unlimited Other Trade Names, but each must be filed with the correct industry and state.
- It is slower and more compliance-intensive.
Option 3: New Slightly Modified Brand Name
If your current employer won’t allow the exact DBA, change it a little to create a brand you own and that C2C approves.
Examples:
- Preferred Mortgage Rates Group Powered by C2C
- PMR Team Powered by C2C
- Preferred Mortgage Rates Home Loans Powered by C2C
- PMR Lending Team at C2C
- This can avoid the fight over the old DBA and keep most of your brand value.
Option 4: Keep The Brand As A Media/Education Brand
You can keep the brand as an educational or media outlet and clearly state that mortgage activities are licensed separately.
Examples:
Preferred Mortgage Rates is an educational mortgage resource. Mortgage Loans are originated through C2C, NMLS #____.
This is probably a good way to use your brand on your website, forums, YouTube, and SEO materials.
What I Would Not Do
- I would not count on your old company to quickly cancel the DBA in every state.
- I also wouldn’t expect them to prove they did it.
- I would want this in writing and set a deadline.
- I would avoid promoting the brand as a mortgage lender, banker, broker, or bank branch unless you have written approval from C2C that this wording is allowed in all states where you advertise.
Amended Step-By-Step Plan
- First, check who legally owns the brand and review DBA filings, domain names, trademarks, logo ownership, and any branch or employment agreements.
- Second, ask your current employer for a written release or written confirmation that they removed the DBA from NMLS and state records.
- Third, consult C2C compliance/licensing, and ask if third, talk to C2C compliance or licensing and ask if they prefer name
- Trade name for team/marketing
- “Powered by C2C ” disclosure
- Branch of C2C disclosure
- No DBA, brand-name marketing only
- Finally, choose the least expensive option:
- if speed matters most, use the name as a team or marketing name.
- If long-term protection is the priority, use the name as an Other Trade Name for C2C where needed.
- If avoiding conflicts is most important, choose a slightly changed version of the name.
The Least Expensive Option Would Be:
Use Your Brand As A Marketing Team Name Instead Of A Formal DBA, At Least For Now.
So The Name Could Be: Preferred Mortgage Rates Powered By C2C
- Next, make sure every item (websites, landing pages, business cards, social media, email signatures, and ads) clearly says that licensed mortgage work is done through C2C and includes the required NMLS IDs and state notices.
- Once you are fully set up and active, you can decide if it’s worth the time and money to have C2C register the brand as an NMLS Other Trade Name in other states where needed.
