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.

What Vermont charges every year on what the house is worth. No lender sets it and it does not go away when the loan does — it is part of the payment from day one.

The number an appraisal gets read against. A house well under it is often the loan a big bank does not want — which is exactly what the doors above are for.
- STATE INCOME TAX3.35% – 8.75%
It comes off before a lender works out how much of your income can go to a payment.
- COST OF LIVING115.4
National index, where 100 is the country's average. Under 100 means your money goes further here than it does nationally.
