Advertise

Advertise on the searches that fit your lending

A flat monthly fee for a whole county, metro area or state. Every ad is labeled Ad, names who paid, and sits outside the results. Advertising never changes the order of results or any published number.

Paused means ads are not offered in that state until legal review is done there. You can still join its waitlist.

Not on sale yet. Each market page has a waitlist, and joining costs nothing. Commercial-purpose loans only. No deposit offers. Providers of merchant cash advances and other sales-based financing are not offered paid plans.

Equal Housing Lender. From Example Lender. Written by Example Lender, not by The Lender Report. Last updated [date]. Commercial-purpose loans only. Legitimate lenders here will not ask you to pay through this site.

Sample. Example Lender is a stand-in, not a lender, and the numbers are fill-ins. Every number in a real ad comes from a fact we write from the public record, or from a rate already published on the lender's page.
  1. Ad, before the name, at body size, in a bordered box.
  2. "Ad. Paid for by" and the lender's name, in a line under it.
  3. Your words, in 60 and 140 characters, and a link to your own site.
  4. Lines the system adds and you cannot remove: commercial purpose, and Equal Housing Lender for housing loans.

How it works

Three steps. Nothing is charged until your reviewer signs off

  1. Pick a market

    One kind of loan in one of three sizes:

    • a whole county,
    • a whole metro area,
    • or a whole state.

    Never a ZIP code, tract or neighborhood, and no part of a market left out.

  2. Join its waitlist

    Ads are not on sale yet. Joining costs nothing. We write once, when your market opens, with the price and the terms.

  3. Sign off, then run

    Your own reviewer and ours clear the words first. The ad then runs beside the results, labeled "Ad" with who paid, and never changes their order.

The record behind the page

Call reports as of June 30, 2026, HMDA 2025, SBA through September 30, 2026

Every ad sits beside a free, sourced record of who lends on what: 10,906 lenders and 258,919 recorded loans from public filings. Brokers, business owners and AI tools read the record. The ad is the only part of the page a lender pays for, and it never touches the rest.

We publish no visitor numbers yet. Traffic for each market will appear on the rates page after our first full month, with the method and the words "not a guarantee". Until then, nothing on this page implies an audience size.

What is offered

Flat fees. Nothing is priced by views, clicks or loans

None of these is on sale yet. Each has a waitlist on its own page. We write once when it opens, with the price and the terms, and nothing is charged until you decide.

Verified (paid) listing

Join the waitlist for pricing

Add what filings never carry to your own page: your lending details by product, named people who agreed to be listed, dated rates and a longer description, in a panel marked as yours. The page says Verified (paid) by your name, with the date you confirmed the details. Growth adds one market sponsorship of your choice.

Not included: a lead, a promise of deals, or any change to a figure or the order of results.

Verified and Growth. Plans and prices

Market sponsorship

Join the waitlist for pricing

One labeled ad on Loan Comps and search results for one kind of loan in one whole county, metro area or state, shared by at most 3 advertisers who take turns by the hour. The same ad on that market's list page comes with it where the state has one.

Not included: first place, exclusivity or a promise of views, clicks or loans. Ads are paused in 8 states for now.

A page shows at most one ad. The advertisers in a market take the place in turn, one hour each: alone in a market, your ad is the one shown every hour; with two, every second hour; with 3, every third. No one can pay for more turns. State prices are on the rate card. The price for a county or a metro area is not set yet. It comes in the email we send when sponsorships open, and you decide then.

What a fee never changes

Written into our terms

  1. Every lender in the record has a page and appears in search, whether it pays or not.
  2. No fee changes, hides, delays or removes a figure from a public filing.
  3. No fee changes the order of search results. The order is published, and payment appears nowhere in it.
  4. No fee earns a grade, a score or a good word from us. We publish no scores at all.
  5. Corrections with evidence are free and follow the same steps for every lender, whether it pays or not.
  6. No fee is tied to leads, clicks, loans or loan size. Borrowers are never charged anything.

We charge lenders flat fees for verification and advertising. Those fees, and the ads and Verified (paid) listings on this site, do not change search order or published data. How we make money · Advertising Policy

How an ad gets signed off

You sign off first. You pay second.

A bank cannot commit to a vendor before its compliance officer has seen the words, and we will not charge for an ad that never runs. So no money moves until your own reviewer and ours have both cleared the ad.

  1. You

    Pick a market

    Choose a kind of loan and a state. The market is held for you for 14 days and counts against the cap of 3. Nothing is charged.

  2. You

    Write the ad

    In the builder, with a preview at desktop and phone width. It refuses wording it cannot allow and says why, line by line.

  3. Your reviewer

    Signs off

    A named reviewer at your institution, never the author, reads every line and ticks seven statements. We keep the exact words and the time.

  4. Our reviewer

    Reads it too

    A person at The Lender Report reads the same packet. We can reject an ad and say why. We never edit a word of it.

  5. You

    Pay

    You will pay only then. By card or bank debit, or by invoice on net 30 terms after you accept the order form.

  6. The system

    It runs, and we keep the proof

    On the start date. We capture the page as a reader sees it when it goes live and every 30 days, and keep daily counts of views.

See a sample packet · The whole process

Pausing an ad takes effect on the page within five minutes. We have not set a review time, and we will not print one until we can keep it.

For your vendor review

What a third-party risk team asks for

We hold no data about your customers and connect to none of your systems. The packet lists what exists today and says plainly what does not exist yet.

Where ads are paused

Until legal review is done in each state

Ads are not sold for 8 states yet: California, Illinois, Minnesota, Arizona, Nevada, South Dakota, North Dakota, Vermont. We are waiting for legal review in each. On our index of recorded loans they hold 23.6% of activity. The index is 2025 HMDA multifamily loans plus a third of SBA 7(a) and 504 loans in the 36 months to September 30, 2026, counted in the state of the loan. A paused state shows "Opens when cleared" on the rate card, and the order flow refuses it. A sponsorship is sold for a whole county, a whole metro area or a whole state. We do not sell or deliver ads by ZIP code, census tract, neighborhood or any area smaller than a county, and an advertiser cannot leave out any part of a market.

Questions people ask first

Will it get us leads?

We do not send leads, route borrowers or take loan requests, and we cannot count deals. We report how many times your ad was shown, in daily totals. Counting clicks stays off until legal review clears it. We promise no views, taps, calls, borrowers or loans.

Who sees my ad?

People running a search that fits your credit box in your market, on Loan Comps and search results, and on the hub page for that market. Not on a lender page, a comparison, an evidence table, a ranking, or the page for a business owner a bank just turned down.

Does paying change the order of results?

The order of results is worked out from public filings and the deal you describe. The code that sets the order cannot read who pays, and the build fails if that ever changes.

What if our compliance team rejects it?

Nothing runs and nothing is charged. You sign off first and pay second: your reviewer and ours both clear the ad before the order is charged, and the market is held for you for 14 days while that happens.

Can we pause or cancel?

Pausing is immediate and takes effect on the page within 5 minutes. Monthly orders cancel at any time and run to the end of the paid month. Annual orders end at the term and renew only if you tick the box.

Do you take deposit ads or consumer loans?

No. Commercial-purpose loans only. No deposit offers, no rates for accounts or certificates, and no consumer, auto, home equity or owner-occupied home loans. Providers of sales-based financing are not offered paid plans.

What do AI assistants see?

Ads are left out of the API and MCP answers unless the caller asks for them by name. A caller that asks gets them in a separate list, each one marked Ad and flagged as paid. An ad is never mixed into a lender record.
