Walmart In-Store
Lenders One®️ members have a unique opportunity to tap the customer base of America’s largest retailer, Walmart.
Through dedicated Lenders One® branch in-store locations, you can offer prospective homebuyers access to mortgage origination solutions where they shop within their community. In October and November 2022, three in-store branch locations opened in New Jersey (Newton and Boonton) and Florida (Orlando) at select Walmart locations as part of a nationwide pilot program announced in March 2022. Read the press releases to learn more.
Through this Lenders One® initiative, members will have access to between 1.5 to 3.5 million Walmart
customers on annual basis. Each location will vary in size from 350 – 500 square feet and members can
choose which locations they want subject to availability.
Benefits include:
Diversify your business model with retail foot traffic in geographical areas in which you may not have a presence, with a strong focus on consumer education, underserved markets and affordable homeownership
Offer Walmart customers a suite of mortgage solutions, including purchase, refinance and home equity lines
Walmart customers can enjoy the convenience of being able to apply for or inquire about borrowing options face-to-face with a personal touch, in the same place they do their regular shopping and receive other in-store services.
Walmart has long been a trusted name for consumers, so seeing the branch in-store opportunity with Walmart come to fruition with Family First Funding and MLB Residential Lending is an exciting opportunity to connect lenders and borrowers at our first three locations in Florida and New Jersey. The physical in-store presence at Walmart helps Lenders One members connect with and educate the local community about opportunities to achieve the American Dream of homeownership. If the consumer does not qualify for a mortgage at first, our members can provide them with homebuyer education and resources to help them become mortgage ready in the future.
