What information will be needed for the application (and how it’s kept private)
Anything you submit over our website is 100 percent, fully secure. Once you begin the online application, you will notice that the web page address changes to https:// instead of http://, showing you that your private data is being protected by a double layer 128 bit encryption technology called SSL (secure socket layer). To read a comprehensive summary of the technology we use to protect your personal information please go here. And we never, ever share it with anyone except with your express permission — that is, if you’re giving us information you want us to use to get you the best loan, we use that information to tell mortgage lenders about you and arrange for them to loan you money. In turn, all of us are bound by federal law (Graham-Leech-Bliley Act) to keep your information secure.
