Spring EQ is proud to announce that we’ve been recognized as one of the Best Mortgage Companies to Work For in 2026 by National Mortgage News.
This annual ranking celebrates employers in the lending industry that demonstrate strong culture, employee engagement, and an unwavering commitment to their teams. This year, 40 companies across the nation earned a place on the list, reflecting a growing emphasis on workplace excellence throughout the mortgage industry.
What makes this recognition so meaningful is its foundation—feedback directly from employees. Through an extensive survey that evaluates areas such as leadership, culture, career development, pay and benefits, and overall engagement, the program gives team members a platform to share their authentic experiences. In fact, employee feedback accounts for 75% of the final score, underscoring the importance of genuine workplace satisfaction.
As Spring EQ celebrates its 10-year anniversary, the timing of this award is especially significant.
“Receiving recognition for something where team member feedback carries so much weight makes this honor especially meaningful,” said Joe Steffa, CEO. “It reflects the culture we’ve built together and the commitment our team brings to supporting one another and our customers.”
With a national presence and a broad range of home equity and mortgage products, Spring EQ combines innovative technology with a human-centered approach to deliver trustworthy loans, faster funding, and a streamlined experience.
Being named one of the Best Mortgage Companies to Work For in 2026 reinforces our belief that when team members thrive, customers benefit.
