TROY, Mich., Feb. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Flagstar Bank today reaffirmed its commitment to responsible lending and the overall strength of its VA lending program, and addressed recent news articles alleging that certain lenders, including Flagstar, churned loans to veterans.
"We value our VA business for many reasons, but most of all because it benefits veterans," said Alessandro DiNello, president and CEO of Flagstar Bank. "That's a trust we would never even consider violating, which is why we put every effort into ensuring we adhere to the rules and regulations that protect veterans who are buying or refinancing homes.
"We have been a VA partner for 30 years and a long-time leader in VA lending. We highly value the VA program and the opportunity for homeownership that it gives to our veterans. We have policies and procedures in place to prevent churning. And, simply put, we do not churn."
