“Being recognized as a Top Workplace by MPA is especially meaningful because our culture is something we work to build every day,” said Jeremy Stewart, President of Orion Lending. “We want our team members to feel supported, empowered, and recognized for the work they do. When our people are engaged and have the tools and opportunities to succeed, that directly translates into a better experience for our broker partners. This recognition belongs to the entire Orion Lending team.”

 

Orion Lending’s workplace culture is built around collaboration, innovation, professional growth, and recognition. As a technology-focused wholesale lender, the company continues to invest in the tools and resources that help its team members work more efficiently while delivering a high level of service to independent mortgage brokers nationwide.

 

One example is Orion Lending’s PERKS Employee Engagement and Recognition Program, which provides ongoing opportunities to recognize team members and celebrate accomplishments across the organization. The company also prioritizes professional development through programs designed to expand industry knowledge, strengthen leadership skills, and support careers.

 

“Great workplaces don’t happen by accident. They are created by listening to our people, investing in their success, and making sure they have opportunities to grow,” said Curtis Edwards, Chief Lending Officer. “At Orion Lending, we have intentionally built a culture where collaboration and innovation are encouraged, accomplishments are celebrated, and people are given the support they need to do their best work. Being recognized by MPA is a great reflection of the team we have built together.”

 

With a largely distributed workforce, Orion Lending has also placed an emphasis on maintaining connection and engagement across locations. From recognition initiatives and professional development to team events and company-wide programs, the organization continues to look for ways to create a strong sense of community regardless of where team members work.

 

The MPA recognition follows several recent workplace honors for Orion Lending, including recognition from USA Today, the Orange County Register, Charlotte Magazine, and Energage’s Top Workplaces program. Orion Lending has also been recognized as an MPA 5-Star Lender, further highlighting the company’s reputation within the mortgage industry.

 

Together, these recognitions underscore Orion Lending’s commitment to building a company that is as focused on its people as it is on technology, innovation, and serving its broker partners.

 

“Every award we receive is an opportunity to celebrate the people behind the Orion Lending brand,” added Stewart. “Our team is the reason we continue to innovate, grow, and deliver for our brokers. We’re proud of what we’ve built, and even more excited about where we’re going.”

 

As Orion Lending continues to expand its technology, products, and broker resources, the company remains focused on maintaining the culture that has helped drive its growth — one centered on people, partnership, innovation, and a shared commitment to doing more for the independent mortgage broker.
