MBA, Lenders One Cooperative enter strategic partnership

The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) and Lenders One Cooperative formed a strategic partnership to provide membership discounts and other benefits to member companies from each organization.

“MBA is proud to be collaborating with Lenders One to add to the wide array of first class products and services we offer our members,” David Stevens, president and CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association, said. “This agreement will help both parties, and our members, by providing additional cost savings and benefits that help independent mortgage bankers and community banks compete and succeed in today’s lending environment.”

Through the partnership, MBA members will be eligible to join Lenders One Cooperative at a discount, getting access to Lenders One’s network of preferred vendors and investors. Lenders One members who join the MBA will receive a discount on their first year of MBA membership dues as well as savings on MBA products and services.

“Our members have benefited from these types of partnerships and I have no doubt that Lenders One and its members will benefit as well,” Stevens said. “MBA is proud to be the one voice of the entire real estate finance industry, and we are excited to join forces with Lenders One and its members.”

Bryan Binder, CEO of Lenders One, said the benefits will be mutual.

“Lenders One is excited about our new alliance with the MBA and we believe that our industry leading provider network and innovative technology can help MBA members prosper in the ever-changing mortgage market,” Binder said. “Also, we believe MBA’s market experience, advocacy expertise and strong educational programs will further enhance the value the agreement brings to the members of Lenders One.”
