How to Read This List

A high approval share with a small median loan usually points to a lender comfortable with first time and FHA borrowers. A large median loan with conventional and jumbo programs points to a move up and jumbo specialist. The health grade says whether a bank or credit union is financially sound; it says nothing about service, which is what the reviews below are for.

Attorneys customarily handle closings in Illinois. State transfer tax of $0.50 per $500 plus a county tax of $0.25 per $500, usually paid by the seller; Chicago adds $3.75 per $500 paid by the buyer and $1.50 per $500 paid by the seller, and many suburbs levy their own stamps. No mortgage recording tax.

How are mortgage lenders in Ottawa, IL ranked on this page?

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 Ottawa, Illinois 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 Approval share is originations plus approved but not accepted applications divided by all completed applications (withdrawn and incomplete files are excluded).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 Ottawa. 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.
