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, fewer than 90% did, which might mean quoted terms changed before closing, applicants stepped away, 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
If you’re considering a VA loan, you’ve likely already heard of Veterans United. It’s originated more VA purchase loans than any other lender in the country every year since 2016, and the vast majority of its business is VA loans. It offers varieties other lenders don’t, including VA cash-out refinances and energy-efficient mortgages, and you’ll struggle to find these programs even at other VA lenders. It also runs 24/7 customer service, a meaningful convenience for service members stationed overseas.
Veterans United earned a 5-star Bankrate Rating and a 3-star Overall Rating. That means the bids it wins through Bankrate’s auction are priced aggressively, but its broader market pricing is middle of the pack. In fact, only about 44% of its total mortgage originations were priced below comparable loans in 2025. It has a low volume of origination-related complaints with the CFPB, but none were resolved in the borrower’s favor. Close to 1 in 5 approved loans here don’t make it to closing, a poor result. While closing can fall through for reasons beyond a lender’s control, such as an applicant walking away, it’s still worth understanding Veterans United’s closing process before you sign any paperwork.
The lender is also facing a class-action lawsuit, filed in February 2026, that accuses it of steering borrowers into costlier, higher-rate loans through an undisclosed referral arrangement with real estate agents. In August 2026, the judge dismissed most of the claims and nearly all of the named borrowers, but let narrower kickback claims move forward for a handful of plaintiffs. Veterans United denies wrongdoing. If you’re considering Veterans United, get quotes from at least two other lenders so you can compare what they’re offering.
At a glance
Good for veterans and military families who want the nation’s top-volume VA lender, at the top of the rankings for origination volume every year since 2016. Not a good fit if you want the lowest possible price or are shopping loan types outside VA, since its overall pricing runs about average and it doesn’t disclose non-VA rates.
What consumers say
Veterans United Home Loans reviewers most frequently describe a reachable team and loan officers who explain each step and remain available. A smaller but still sizable group also cite coordination among the loan officer, processor, and underwriter, seldom reporting inconsistent information. Few other complaints recur.
A definite go to for home buying for veterans
Ms Ashlyn and Ms Kimmy were absolutely phenomenal during the entire process. They constantly kept us updated and made the process as smooth as possible
James · Lawton, Oklahoma
Second time, still no complaints.
Second time buying a home through Veteran’s United and as before, can’t say enough good things about the entire experience. I worked with a different team this time but it was still the same professional, clear, and rather easy process as before. Anna, Jamie, Richard, and Hannah are great folks and I’d highly recommend them.
