About NRL

We've built our business by providing the most important
thing a lender can: Reliability.

Our Philosophy

Our approach to business can be summed up in two words – Reliability Matters.

Embracing reliability as a core value on paper is the easy part. We’ve made it a habit. From the top down, we have a culture that celebrates steadfast service to our customers, partners, employees, and communities. We believe in earning the confidence of the people we work with by empowering them with information and treating them with compassion. We mind the details, because we know that following through on the small things is what prepares us to perform when it matters most.

Over the years, we’ve built our company by keeping our mission to be the most reliable lender in the business at the center of every decision we make. We’ve built a foundation of sustainable processes that enable us to deliver on every promise, every time, and we continue to invest in innovation that ensures we’ll be here to serve the next generations of homeowners. That’s why people around the corner and across the nation rely on NRL Mortgage to get them home.
