The COVID crisis has required that most non-QM lenders pull out of the market due to liquidity constraints, capital losses or other reasons with little hope of reentry. While Quontic paused non-QM activity to assess risk during the pandemic, the bank has a strong balance sheet and is now aggressively offering its unique non-QM product line with favorable rates and terms to keep non-traditional borrowers and investors in the home buying market. As a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), Quontic is exempt from traditional ability-to-repay (ATR) requirements and can continue to offer owner-occupied home loans (non-QM) that don’t require tax returns, W2’s or pay stubs. They also don’t require the traditional 12-24 months bank statements required by other non-QM lenders to document income. The totality of each borrower’s unique circumstances serves as the basis of Quontic’s lending decisions, with up to 75% loan-to-value (LTV) available and only a borrower prepared P&L to document income – with highly competitive interest rates.

“The market for non-QM loans came to a screeching halt during the pandemic. There was still borrower demand, but most non-bank lenders lost their financing and thus their ability to make non-QM loans,” shares Steve Schnall, Founder and CEO at Quontic. “Consistent with our mission as a CDFI, our non-QM products are designed to enable underbanked populations like gig economy workers, immigrants, and seniors to obtain home mortgage financing for both owner occupied and investment properties with borrower friendly products for those who don’t meet the rigid income documentation guidelines mandated under Dodd-Frank and ATR. We base our lending decisions on the borrower’s total picture including credit, equity contribution and source of earnings.”
