Among high-volume lenders, the lowest observed denial rate was Gold Star Mortgage Financial Gro at 1.8%; the highest was Freedom Mortgage Corporation at 26.8%.

What is HMDA?

The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act requires every U.S. mortgage lender to report every application — outcome, amount, and denial reason — to federal regulators annually. It is government-verified, covers all lenders equally, and cannot be gamed. These tables are processed directly from that record.

Who pays for this?

Nobody. No lender pays to appear or improve its position; no ads, no referral fees, no lead sales. FinanceRateCalc is not a lender and does not compete with the institutions it measures. Rates reflect applicant mix and channel as well as underwriting appetite — a high rate is not an accusation, and a low one is not advice.
