Leader Bank Ranks at the Top for Purchase Mortgages in Massachusetts in 2014

Banker & Tradesman has ranked Leader Bank, N.A. #1 in the state for purchase mortgages for single family homes, multi-family homes, and condos in 2014 within the bank category. This is a testament to Leader’s strong residential lending division, which closed an impressive $1.3 billion last year to reach this achievement.
 
Leader Bank also made the jumbo loan category last year, coming in at #2, just after Wells Fargo, for number of purchased money jumbo loans, surpassing many of the area’s largest banks. In 2014, the bank made 339 jumbo loans totaling $215.7 million.
 
“Leader Bank has become a leader in the mortgage industry due to our competitive rates, innovative products, and first class service,” said Sushil K. Tuli, Leader Bank’s President and CEO. “We are proud of our accomplishments in 2014 and plan to retain our high ranking for years to come.”
 
As business continues to grow, Leader Bank has responded by adding a number of experienced loan officers to their residential lending department, and opening a new mortgage office in South Boston. Leader Bank will continue to explore opportunities to expand its residential lending platform as the mortgage market evolves.
