Movement Mortgage
NMLS: 39179
Editor's take

Movement Mortgage stands out for a speedy seven-day process — including underwriting in six hours or less — and high marks from customers. However, it doesn’t showcase rates on its website and uses some third-party lenders for loans, so it’s difficult to get an idea how much a loan might cost without first getting in contact.

How Bankrate scored Movement Mortgage

Affordability: 3.4/5

Movement Mortgage scores 3.4 out of 5 stars for affordability, primarily due to lack of transparency around loan costs.

  • Interest rates: Unlike other lenders, Movement Mortgage doesn’t list its latest mortgage rates online. You’ll need to contact the lender to learn current rate options. 
  • Down payment: Movement Mortgage offers the gamut of mortgage types, including 3 percent conventional loans and no-down payment VA and USDA loans.
  • Closing costs: Movement Mortgage charges closing costs, which vary by loan type, loan amount, location and more.

Availability: 5/5

Movement Mortgage scores the full 5 stars for availability. The lender works with qualified borrowers across the U.S. on a wide range of loan products.

  • Home loans offered: Movement Mortgage offers several mortgage types, including conventional, FHA, VA and USDA loans, along with options to refinance your existing mortgage. It also works with borrowers of condo loans, construction loans and HELOCs. 
  • Footprint: Movement Mortgage operates in all U.S. states, with an extensive branch network.
  • Where to find: You can apply for a mortgage with Movement Mortgage online, by phone or in person at a branch location.

Borrower experience: 3.4/5

Movement Mortgage scores 3.4 out of 5 stars for borrower experience. The lender boasts a quick application flow, but missing rate information on its website might make it harder for you to compare costs.

  • Preapproval and application process: If you qualify for a Movement loan, you can get complete underwriting in as little as six hours after applying online, loan processing in as few as seven business days and closings in one day. The lender’s Movement Mobile app allows you to manage your loan, send files and more, all in one place.
  • Transparency: Movement Mortgage doesn’t list current rate offers nor fees on its website — you’ll have to contact the lender to see what you might qualify for.
  • Customer service: You can reach Movement’s customer service team at 855-979-1084, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET.
