Methodology

To determine a mortgage lender’s Bankrate Score, Bankrate’s editorial team rates lenders on a scale of one to five stars based on a variety of factors relating to the lender’s products and services. Bankrate’s partners compensate us, but our opinions are our own, and partner relationships do not influence our reviews. Here is our full methodology.

Affordability: 5/5

eClick Lending displays mortgage rates on its website. If you’re interested in taking out a mortgage or refinancing through this lender, you can see current rates for a 15-year, 20-year, or 30-year fixed-rate loan. These offers are generally lower than Bankrate’s averages. While you’ll need to initiate contact with a loan officer to learn your all-in costs (including fees), you might be eligible for a discount if you’re a returning borrower.

Availability: 5/5

eClick Lending’s mortgage offerings include conventional and government-insured loans for both home purchases and refinances. It also works with borrowers in non-traditional circumstances, offering access to jumbo loans and mortgages for investment properties.

Borrower experience: 4.6/5

eClick Lending is a division of Celebrity Home Loans, which has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, although it isn’t accredited by the organization. The lender has originated $5 billion in loans since founding.

If you work with eClick, expect a preapproval within 24 hours (assuming you’re eligible for a loan). While there aren’t a lot of resources available on the lender’s website, there is a handy mortgage calculator that can help you figure out how much home you might be able to afford.

If you have questions about a loan, eClick Lending is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT.
