FinLocker Financial Fitness App

ST. LOUIS MO, December 15, 2022 (GLOBE NewSWIRE) — FinLocker partnered with Family First Funding and MLB Residential Lending as community-focused lenders to create financial fitness applications that help prospective homebuyers reach mortgage eligibility and maintain homeownership. This partnership comes two months after Lenders One® Cooperative, a national alliance of 240+ independent mortgage bankers, announced the opening of its first three Walmart in-store branches in Newton and Boonton, New Jersey, and Orlando, Florida, with the mortgage lenders.

Brian Vieaux is President and Chief Operating Officer at FinLocker. It’s difficult to buy a home in today’s market. Even those who have the financial resources to purchase a home may be reluctant to pull the trigger. FinLocker-powered apps will help consumers reach mortgage readiness, educate them on loan options and the process of getting a mortgage while connecting them to their mortgage lender to answer any questions.

“We are excited that this opportunity connects two of our mortgage banking members with one of our preferred vendor partners to offer Walmart customers and other community residents a path to achieve and sustain homeownership,” said Justin Demola, CMB, President, Lenders One. “The FinLocker powered private-labeled apps for Family First Funding and MLB Residential Lending will provide prospective homebuyers with the financial education and resources to help them build and monitor their credit and make informed financial decisions while keeping them connected to their lender until they are ready to buy a home.”

FinLocker will power the “Home Hero” app to Family First Funding, and the “Secure Home” app to MLB Residential Lending. These apps will help each company’s customers to have a financially secure future. With homeownership as the anchor, FinLocker will allow them to build wealth.

• Tools to improve credit scores and monitor credit reports, manage finances, set savings goals, budget for debt reduction and save for a downpayment.

• Personalized journeys that guide them to mortgage eligibility and maintain homeownership.

• You can use these educational resources to help you manage your credit, credit cards, plan for retirement, and prepare for the mortgage process.

“We are in the business of helping people,” said Gabriel Gillen, President, Family First Funding. “Our team is excited about providing our “Home Hero” app through our new offices as it will help us provide financial education and guide more people towards homeownership.”

Phil Mazza, Interim COO of MLB Residential Lending, stated that “We are a community-focused lender.” “Providing financial education and tools to renters, homeowners, and homebuyers in our community via the “Secure Home” app is one way we can improve the financial lives in our community.”

Prospective homebuyers will be able to obtain the “Home Hero” app from Family First Funding through Lenders One Walmart-based branch locations at 26 Hampton House Road (Newton, NJ 07860) and 2500 S Kirkman Rd (Orlando, FL 32811). The “Secure Home” app from MLB Residential Lending can also be purchased at the Walmart at 300 Wootton Street Boonton NJ 07005. The financial apps will be distributed to potential homebuyers by the mortgage originators of each company through their usual business channels.
