What Mortgage Brokers Network does

Mortgage Brokers Network (legal name: The Mortgage Brokers Network, DBA "MBN") is a Canadian mortgage brokerage founded around 1994 and headquartered at 179 King St E, Oshawa, Ontario. The firm operates as an intermediary connecting Canadian borrowers with mortgage products from a network of over 50 lenders, including major Canadian banks (RBC, Scotiabank, TD, BMO, National Bank, CIBC), credit unions, and alternative and private lenders. Its product portfolio spans first-time home buyer mortgages, new-to-Canada programs, cash-back mortgages, construction mortgages, vendor take-back, multi-residential, commercial mortgages, bridge financing, self-employed and alternative-income programs, renewal and refinancing, debt consolidation, home equity loans and HELOCs, fixed and variable rate mortgages, and reverse mortgages for homeowners aged 55+.

The company is differentiated by its focus on borrower profiles that traditional banks often decline, including self-employed applicants with non-standard income documentation, those with challenged credit or post-bankruptcy, new Canadians without domestic credit history, and seniors seeking equity release. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer, combining a 24/7 online application portal and a mortgage calculator suite with a national toll-free phone line (1-877-383-1577) and email support; there is no physical retail footprint. Marketing and customer acquisition are driven by educational blog content, SEO, social media (Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram), and a strong referral engine across Ontario communities.

The revenue model is standard industry commission: lenders pay the broker a fee upon successful mortgage funding. The firm maintains a small headcount (1-10 employees) and discloses no revenue, funding, or ownership structure. Disclosed partners include MPC (mortgage protection insurance), CMBA Ontario (industry association), and DH Financial Technologies (technology partner). No patents, AI capabilities, APIs, or proprietary technology platforms are disclosed.
