Where USMI public facts originate

U.S. Mortgage Index (USMI) is a U.S. public-source mortgage research and verification platform operated by US Mortgage Index LLC. USMI profiles are compiled from official public records. They are not official agency publications. Listing a source does not imply endorsement of this platform by that source.

National institution coverage: US Mortgage Index publishes source-backed profiles of mortgage lenders and reporting institutions. Bank profiles currently use official FDIC institution records. Credit-union profiles currently use NCUA federally insured credit-union records. Additional institution categories appear here only when they are published.

Coverage is source-specific. Published profiles are not a complete NMLS universe and do not represent every mortgage lender, broker, or mortgage company in the United States.

Currently published: 4,254 banks · 4,250 credit unions · 513 mortgage companies · 9,017 total public institution profiles Counts as of October 29, 2026 (UTC).

Scope4,250 active federally insured credit unions. NCUA is not a default source for banks or mortgage companies. Source addresses in this file are mailing addresses.

NCUA Call Report — Credit Union Branch Information

What USMI uses it forSource-labeled physical main-office and location information.

ScopeMain office must not automatically be called legal headquarters. Where a main-office record was unavailable, profiles may show the reported mailing location instead.

NMLS Consumer Access

Nationwide Multistate Licensing System & Registry (State Regulatory Registry LLC / CSBS)State or multistate licensing systemState or multistate system

What USMI uses it forCompany identifiers, licensing status signals, and registered MLO counts where an independent NMLS match has been verified.

ScopeShown only when an NMLS company ID has been verified for the published profile.

LimitationsNMLS Consumer Access is an official verification route for relevant mortgage companies and persons. An NMLS listing alone does not prove safety. Absence of an NMLS company ID on a USMI profile does not prove that no license or NMLS record exists. USMI does not license or approve lenders, and USMI does not publish a complete NMLS universe.

What USMI uses it forActivity-year and search status fields, plus published HMDA activity tables.

ScopePublished HMDA activity years 2018–2025 for reporters matched to USMI identities. HMDA/CFPB activity can cover depositories and nondepositories.

LimitationsPublished figures are matched USMI HMDA activity, not the official all-filer HMDA universe. Absence of matched activity does not establish that an institution made no mortgage loans or filed no HMDA data. Being an HMDA reporter does not by itself establish every mortgage-market role.
