The role of FinTech lenders in mortgage market: Evidence from corporate relocations

Abstract

This study investigates how FinTech lenders respond to the surge in mortgage demand caused by corporate headquarter relocations. We find that FinTech lenders tend to increase mortgage supply and loosen underwriting criteria as compared to non-FinTech lenders. The competitive advantage obtained from mortgage securitization enables FinTech lenders to capture growth opportunities.
