Rocket Mortgage in Canada will deliver a tech-driven client experience to revolutionize the mortgage process for Canadians, just as its sister company has done in the U.S.
Edison Financial, a rapidly expanding digital mortgage broker, today announced it will officially change its name to Rocket Mortgage Canada on August 8, 2022, doing business under the brand Rocket Mortgage throughout the country. The move is more than a rebrand, the change reflects the company's mission to revolutionize the Canadian mortgage industry with an emphasis on harnessing technology to simplify the home loan process, just as sister company under the Rocket Companies (NYSE:RKT), Rocket Mortgage, LLC, has done successfully in the U.S.
"Our mission when we launched over two years ago was to use technology to improve the mortgage experience in Canada, making life easier for homebuyers and homeowners," said Hash Aboulhosn, President of Rocket Mortgage in Canada. "Today's announcement is the first step in bringing Canadians a vastly-improved mortgage process through technology, innovation and client service. I'm excited for what's to come as we continue to positively impact the way Canadians view getting a home loan."
Windsor-based Edison Financial began serving clients in March 2020 and has already reached $1 billion (CAD) in annualized submitted volume - making it the first mortgage brokerage in Canada to reach that milestone so quickly.
The company demonstrated the strength of its business model as it expanded from offering home loans in Ontario, at launch, to now providing mortgages in every province - primarily from its headquarters in downtown Windsor. The Edison Financial team has grown along with the company, starting with just four team members in early 2020 to more than 140 at present.
"In America, Rocket Mortgage is synonymous with industry-leading, proprietary technology that creates an unmatched client experience. We've spent the last 37 years defining and redefining the way mortgages should be done in the U.S. - and now we have the opportunity through this rebrand to share everything we've learned with our neighbors to the north," said Bob Walters, CEO of Rocket Mortgage in the U.S. "Our process removes the complexity of getting a home loan - replacing it with a fast, enjoyable experience. This is something that has been lacking in the Canadian market, and we are eager to help our sister company show Canadians just how simple getting a mortgage can be."
Today, Edison Financial is a mortgage brokerage with access to thousands of loan products from more than 50 lenders. The company works closely with banks and lenders to match clients with the best product for their financial needs.
In addition to changing its name, Rocket Mortgage also announced plans to become a direct lender in Canada later this year. The company's agents regularly speak with clients from all walks of life, putting Rocket Mortgage in the unique position to utilize the insights gained from those conversations to develop impactful loan products to meet client needs.
After becoming a lender in Canada, Rocket Mortgage will continue offering options from other lender partners alongside its own products - connecting homebuyers with the best solution for their individual circumstance.
Edison Financial's appetite for growth, and building strong solutions for homeowners and buyers, is a direct reflection of the company's commitment to revolutionizing the Canadian mortgage market. Clients who are currently in the mortgage process will not be affected by the name change.
