How to read this list.
We do not ask for your name, your email, or your number. Nothing on this page changes based on who you are.
A door is headquartered here when its head office sits inside the county line. The rest are based elsewhere and keep a branch you can walk into. We list both, and we label which is which.
Every institution on this page comes from public federal data — the CDFI Fund certified list (Aug 2026), NCUA credit union data (Jun 2026), and the SBA microloan intermediary list (Sep 2026) — plus a short national tier we verified by hand. We refresh each list as its agency publishes. No listing is paid.

The 10 lenders that made the most home loans in Burlington County in 2025, buying and refinancing together. The mark on each bar is the whole county's denial rate (17.1%). Home loans only: first-lien, owner-occupied, one-to-four-unit homes, as reported under the federal HMDA law. Small lenders below its reporting threshold — many of the credit unions above — don't report, so their loans aren't counted here. Rates are for loans made.

Burlington County's homes range from older river towns like Burlington City, Riverside, and Bordentown to postwar neighborhoods in Willingboro, suburban developments in Mount Laurel and Moorestown, homes near Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and rural Pinelands properties. Buying, fixing, or refinancing here means planning around New Jersey's high property taxes and attorney review process. This guide explains how home financing works, who qualifies, what lenders ask for, which credit unions are based in or branch into the county, state homebuyer resources, and the traps to avoid.
It's a process, not a rejection.
Home financing includes a purchase mortgage, a refinance, a home equity loan or line of credit against what you own, and repair or renovation loans for a roof, heating system, or accessibility work. Small investors use the same tools for a few rental doors.
Burlington County's housing is varied. The Delaware River towns — Burlington City, Riverside, Delanco, Beverly, Bordentown — have older homes, row houses, and twins that often need repairs.
Willingboro has large neighborhoods of postwar single-family houses.
Mount Laurel, Moorestown, Cinnaminson, Medford, and Marlton-area developments are more suburban and newer, some with townhome and condo associations. Around Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, towns like Wrightstown and the Pemberton area see military families buying and renting. In the Pinelands, rural homes may sit on wells and septic systems, and development rules there are stricter.
That range means your loan choice depends on the property. An older river-town home may need a renovation loan. A rural Pinelands property may qualify for different programs than a suburban townhouse. And everywhere in New Jersey, property taxes weigh heavily on the monthly payment.
Forget what the banks say.
Mortgage lenders look at steady income, credit history, monthly debts compared with income, and cash for the down payment and closing.
In Burlington County, many buyers look like this:
- Service members, veterans, and civilian base employees connected to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst
- W-2 workers in warehouses, health care, schools, and offices along the Turnpike, I-295, and Route 130 corridors
- Self-employed contractors paid on 1099s whose income varies through the year
- Farm and nursery workers in the Pinelands with seasonal income
- Families pooling more than one income, sometimes across mixed immigration status
- Small investors buying or fixing a rental
Eligible service members and veterans should ask about VA home loans, which can allow purchases with little or no down payment. Self-employed borrowers usually need two years of tax returns, and lenders count income after deductions.
If you have an ITIN rather than a Social Security number, some lenders offer ITIN mortgages, usually with a larger down payment. Ask directly. If your credit is thin, building it first can open better terms.

Don't fall into these traps.
A payment quote that leaves out New Jersey property taxes is not your real payment.
Waiving your review period to win a bid can leave you stuck with terms you did not understand.
Turning card debt into debt secured by your home puts the house at risk.
Anyone asking for upfront money to stop a foreclosure, or for your deed, is a red flag. Call a HUD-approved counselor; it is free.
Some lenders push military families into high-cost refinances. Compare offers and read every fee.
In New Jersey, a notario público is not a lawyer and cannot advise you on a purchase or loan.
Everything below is set by New Jersey, and it reads the same in every county in it. The 5 marks above are this county's own doors — who opens one is decided by them, not by the state.
The rules where you are.
The New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency offers first-time homebuyer and down payment assistance programs through participating lenders. Limits and funding change; ask a participating lender or counselor what is open now.
In New Jersey, a residential purchase contract signed through a real estate agent goes through a short attorney review period, during which either side's attorney can propose changes or cancel. Use it.
New Jersey property taxes are high and set locally, and they vary a lot from town to town within Burlington County. Get the actual tax bill before you decide.
Properties inside the Pinelands area have extra land-use rules for building and expansion. If you plan to add on or build, ask first.
Hire registered Home Improvement Contractors for repair work financed with a loan.
The New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance licenses mortgage lenders and brokers. You can also check any loan officer through the NMLS consumer lookup.
The short version.
- 01
Burlington County's homes range from river-town row houses to Pinelands acreage, and New Jersey's property taxes and attorney review shape every purchase. Fort Dix and Camden Firemen's are based here but may limit membership; American Heritage, Andrews Federal Credit Union, and First Harvest keep branches here. Military families should ask about VA loans, and first-time buyers about NJHMFA programs.
- 02
Get the real tax bill, use your attorney review, and talk to a HUD-approved counselor. If you use an ITIN, ask each lender directly about ITIN mortgages and build credit first.
