Lenders based in Chelsea are listed first, then lenders elsewhere in Alabama, then lenders from other states that closed loans there. Banks and credit unions carry a MonitorBankRates health grade, star rating and Texas Ratio, so you can judge how financially sound they are. Mortgage companies have no deposits to rate, so compare their loan programs, median loan and borrower reviews instead. Compare at least three lenders and ask each for a written loan estimate before you choose.

Methodology and Sources

Lender rankings use the loan level records that lenders file under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, published by the FFIEC and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for the 2025 reporting year. Counts include originated first and subordinate lien loans on one to four unit homes in Chelsea, Alabama for purchase, refinance and other purposes; home equity lines of credit are counted separately and reverse mortgages and business purpose loans are excluded. Approval share is originations plus approved but not accepted applications divided by all completed applications (withdrawn and incomplete files are excluded). Lender type comes from the lender's federal regulator and the FFIEC National Information Center. City figures use the Census tracts that make up Chelsea. Health grades are MonitorBankRates data and are current as of the date shown. Lenders below the HMDA reporting thresholds do not appear. MonitorBankRates receives no payment for placement on this page. Last updated October 8, 2026.
