As the industry leader in Minnesota,  Minnesota Mortgage Bankers Association (MMBA), a chapter of national Mortgage BankersAssociation in Washington, D.C., enables its members to interact within the community and promotes the interests of the Association and its members within the public and private sectors in the state.

The Association provides its members with continuing education opportunities, access to state regulators and the ability to network with mortgage banking professionals throughout the state.

Membership in the Association is the perfect opportunity to interact with peers who are facing the same real estate finance business challenges in Minnesota during this dynamic period. It gives members the ability to form a consensus on policy issues and communicate with one voice to the state legislature. Membership also ensures you are aware of the latest state licensing requirements and federal rulemakings that could affect your business.
