No lender can pay for a higher Bankrate Rating. Every score comes from the same data and criteria.

A few more details worth knowing
Though these don't affect the star rating, we show them so you have the full picture.
For applicants age 62 and older, we measure two things: whether this lender denies them more often than its own lending patterns would predict after accounting for loan size, income, debt-to-income ratio, and loan type; and whether it lends to them at rates similar to comparable lenders. Importantly, federal mortgage disclosure data does not include applicants' credit scores, so the analysis cannot account for differences in creditworthiness that may explain some disparities. This limitation applies to all lenders, making comparisons more consistent, but its impact may vary across lenders. These measures identify potential disparities, not proof of unfair treatment.
We looked at how often a lender's applications end up as closed loans, not counting any that were denied or the applicant withdrew. At this lender, at least 95% did, which might mean quoted terms held up, applicants were well qualified, or both.
Importantly, this measure is not included in the scores because a lender's closing likelihood might be pulled down by factors outside their control, such as differences in application volume. Nonetheless, there are clear performance differences between lenders even after these factors are controlled for, so it is included for informational purposes only.

What Bankrate's editors think
American Federal Mortgage is a strong candidate if you’re on the East Coast, where most of its lending happens. Bankrate’s data shows that roughly 8 out of 10 of its originations were priced below comparable loans in 2025. It has zero origination-related CFPB complaints on record in 2025, and it closed every loan it approved in the period we studied.
This pricing advantage and complaint-free record are strong enough to help American Federal Mortgage earn a 5-star Overall Score and a 5-star Bankrate Score, a mark only a handful of the lenders we review reach. But keep in mind this lender operates in only 12 states, primarily in New England.
If your employer is one of American Federal’s corporate partners, its Employee Mortgage Benefit Program adds a refunded appraisal fee, no application fee, a closing-date guarantee and a $2,000 closing cost credit on top of an already-discounted rate.
At a glance
Good for East Coast borrowers, especially anyone whose employer partners with American Federal’s Employee Mortgage Benefit Program — it stacks a discounted rate with a refunded appraisal fee and a $2,000 closing cost credit. Not a good fit if you don’t live in one of the 12 states where this lender operates.
What consumers say
DO NOT TRUST - Sales agents lie about their ability to do loans and other actions
This lender cost me literally tens of thousands of dollars in addition to the increased costs of delay. They lied about being able to do investment property refinance, which threatened the entire deal. They then lied about being able to share the appraisal to a new lender I had to find on an emergency basis. Then the apprasial they sent was so wrong that I ended up overpaying for the property. The transaction ended up costing me time and money, all because their sales agents are poorly trained on what this company can do and their bosses are straight up liars about being able to assist when things get challenging.

Rate shown on Bank rate is a clear Bait and Switch - 5 Stars to the agent.
After I plugged in all my numbers/info accurately on Bankrate personalized search (including everything under "more filters") 6.5% with zero points and zero fees was shown. After talking to an NMLS agent from this company via Bakrate lead, I was told, that rate was not possible and offered a higher rate for the same information I filled on Bankrate website. I give 5 stars the agent I spoke with for his honesty, responsiveness and the consideration, but one star to companies practices of Bait and switch. Hence the 3 starts overall.

Most competitive rates!
Five stars for Dave and Kristyne. They made the home-buying process seamless by providing the best APR rate on the market and ensuring we closed quickly. Dave was incredibly responsive, always available to answer questions both before and after our purchase. A true professional who genuinely cares about his clients. Highly recommended!!
