Simpler Mortgages For Self-Employed Borrowers
As a federally chartered digital bank and US Treasury designated Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), we’re one of only a few mortgage lenders that can accept alternative income documentation from borrowers who have strong credit and the substantial down payment to qualify. We assess the loan applicant’s full financial profile, not just bank statements, W2s and tax returns.

"The loan team at Quontic Bank was fantastic! They helped me and my family to buy our first house. As immigrants, we have experienced many difficulties and obstacles, but they walked us through the best path and today we can say we own our own house. Highly recommended bank. Thank you."
"My loan officer and his team looked after me from A-Z. I was extremely glad as a person with non-US sourced income to be able to buy my dream apartment in NYC – without Quontic’s focus on niche borrowers like me, I quite simply would not have been able to purchase my new West Village home. Thank you, Quontic!"
“Despite having a substantial down payment and excellent credit score, I was turned down by other institutions because I did not meet their income requirements, so I called Quontic Bank. They specialize in loans that are made for investors or buyers who cannot meet conventional mortgage requirements. Thank you. Quontic.”
"I had a great experience with my loan officer. Everyone was responsive, thorough, and professional. They were able to provide a loan based on my specific needs, which was not possible through other lenders. Highly recommend and will be coming back again in the future."
"Excellent! I can’t believe it, I got my new home on time, 30-years fixed rate and no income check! I live in California, no matter they are in NY, all process we are doing by phone and email. They are professional. They know what documents need and help you to reach it. Thank so much to them!"
