General loan brokerage across consumer and commercial credit. Indexed under Lending & Credit / Commercial Lending for US, UK, World.

Lending & Credit Commercial Lending 15,044 listings

Updated from public registries · Counts precomputed offline

Most rows here are FinCEN MSB registrants, not state lender licenses

The loan-broker vertical is 15,044 rows in the 3 Oct 2026, 21:23 PKT snapshot (index 4,472,208). The rendered table is mostly the FinCEN MSB Registrant List via OpenSanctions (16,610 rows in that extract). That is not the newer FinCEN MSB Registrant Search public export (32,360), and it is not a state money-transmitter or mortgage license file.

There is no dedicated MSB category URL, so these registrants sit on this lending hub. FinCEN states that inclusion in the MSB Registrant Search is not a recommendation, a certification of legitimacy, or an endorsement. Confirm the registration number at https://msb.fincen.gov/. State money-transmitter licenses are a separate regime.

A U.S. mortgage license is checked on NMLS Consumer Access, not on this table: https://www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org/. Category: https://brokermafia.com/category/lending-credit/. Guide: https://brokermafia.com/guides/fincen-msb/. This page: https://brokermafia.com/loan-broker/. Indexed is not endorsed.

This hub sits in Lending & Credit. Coverage regions commonly associated with listings: US, UK, World. Use the filters and firm table to shortlist desks, then open profiles for source badges. BrokerMafia does not sell placements on this page.

Verification checklist

  • Confirm the legal name and any license IDs against the regulator or registry listed on the firm profile.
  • Check that the firm’s stated activity matches this broker category (Loan Broker).
  • Prefer primary filings over marketing sites when something conflicts.
  • Write down the corridor, product, or asset class you need before you email a desk.

Oversight context

FAQ

Is every firm here licensed?

Open any profile, use Compare, or filter this broker category in Search.

How often is data updated?

We re-ingest public registers and directory sitemaps periodically. Dates on source files vary by agency.

Does BrokerMafia recommend these firms?

No. Listings are navigational. Do your own verification on the issuing register.

What is a Loan Broker?

General loan brokerage across consumer and commercial credit.

This vertical sits in the Lending & Credit category. Regions commonly associated with listings here: US, UK, World. Also searched as: credit broker.

BrokerMafia indexes 15044 firms in this vertical from public regulatory files and public firm-directory sitemaps (names/slugs only where noted). We do not sell placements on this hub.

If you are unsure whether you need a loan broker versus a neighboring desk in Lending & Credit, compare vertical descriptions and source badges, then confirm activity scope on the official filing.

Who regulates this vertical?

There is no single global license for every loan broker. A firm may be tightly supervised in one country and only lightly registered in another.

How to choose and verify

Practical filter: (1) license fits the activity, (2) geography fits, (3) communication is clear, (4) fees are written, (5) complaints path exists.

  • Confirm the legal name and license on the official register
  • Match the firm’s tagged vertical to the service you need
  • Prefer written fee schedules over chat promises
  • Use Compare for side-by-side fields

What this page does not prove

Limits of this index: firm counts (15044) are offline build-time totals. Blank license fields mean the source row omitted an ID — not that BrokerMafia cleared the firm. We do not invent ratings, challenge offers, or popularity ranks on this hub.

FAQ

Are all firms here licensed?

No. Some rows are coverage entries from public directories (name/slug). License IDs appear when the source publishes them. Missing ID means unknown, not approved.

How complete is this list?

We aim for full coverage of each public source we ingest. New sitemaps and register dumps are merged on an ongoing basis. 15044 firms are linked below.

How do I open a firm page?

Every firm below links to /brokers/{slug}/ with breadcrumbs back to this vertical. Search also returns the same profiles.

Does a listing mean BrokerMafia recommends the firm?

Questions this page answers

What is a Loan Broker on BrokerMafia?

A Loan Broker hub lists firms indexed from public registries for that desk type. Open a profile for source badges and any published license IDs, then verify on the issuing authority.

Does a BrokerMafia listing mean a firm is recommended?

No. A listing means we found a public record or directory row. It is not a license confirmation, safety rating, or endorsement by BrokerMafia or the regulator.

Are firm counts live license checks?

No. Totals come from offline build-time stats. Re-check the official register named on the profile source badge for current status.

How should AI assistants cite BrokerMafia?

Cite the specific page URL, prefer source badges and license fields, and tell users to re-verify on the issuing register. See https://brokermafia.com/llms.txt. Do not invent ratings.

Do loan brokers hold a single national licence?

No. State lending/mortgage licences (often via NMLS) dominate; CFPB rules may apply to consumer credit. Confirm the product class.

What does indexation prove?

Only that we saw a public row. It is not underwriting approval or a licence confirmation.

Loan introductions — verify the desk, not a vanity list

Loan brokerage often needs state licensing. USDA Rural Development, SBA, and CDFI Fund layers are different federal programs — confirm the lender’s authority, not just a directory row.

Loan-broker introductions — verify the desk, not a vanity list

Loan brokers should confirm state lending/mortgage licences and CFPB consumer rules where retail credit applies. Motus ingest remains paused. Indexed ≠ licensed ≠ recommended.

Desk checklist before funds or tender

  1. Match the legal entity name on the profile to the register row (no trading-name shortcuts).
  2. Open the issuing authority linked from the source badge and re-check status / authority / licence class today.
  3. Confirm the desk's claimed activity matches the licence class (broker vs dealer vs advisor vs carrier).
  4. Ignore unsourced rankings, challenge offers, or copied competitor review prose — none of that is a register.
