United Wholesale Mortgage has announced that it has contributed an additional $100,000 to the KickStart program being run by NAMB - The Association of Mortgage Professionals. The move is sparked by UWM’s desire to continue supporting entrepreneurs and enhancing the presence of mortgage brokers throughout the country.

“We are passionate about helping mortgage brokers grow and thrive, as we believe it is the best way for a consumer to get a loan and the best place for a loan originator to work,” said Mat Ishbia, President and Chief Executive Officer at UWM. “Brokers are a more efficient and cheaper model than retail lenders and banks. We are excited to continue supporting their growth by contributing to the NAMB KickStart program.”
