J.D. Power released a study examining digital platform satisfaction across the 35 largest mortgage servicers in the United States. The data reveals that bank-operated websites and mobile applications currently outperform nonbank alternatives in user ratings.
Why it matters
Higher satisfaction scores for banks are largely driven by customers who manage multiple financial accounts under the same provider. Borrowers show a clear preference for digital tools that provide organized, accessible interfaces for managing their home loans.
Bank servicers achieved a website average score of 740 and a mobile app average score of 736, compared to nonbank scores of 704 and 680, respectively. The study utilized 6,722 responses to rank the 35 largest mortgage providers.
