Lenders are ranked only by the number of home loans they closed in Ruston, Louisiana in 2025, as reported under the federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. No lender pays for a higher spot. Lenders based in Ruston are listed first, then lenders elsewhere in Louisiana, 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.
Market share is the lender's share of all home loans closed in Ruston, Louisiana. Approval share is approvals divided by completed applications. Grade is the MonitorBankRates Health and Safety Grade, available for banks and credit unions only. Average loan is the lender's mean loan amount here.

Looking for mortgage lenders near me or mortgage brokers near me in Ruston? The list below shows the banks, credit unions and mortgage brokers that closed home loans in Ruston in 2025, with lenders based there listed first.
Use these to narrow the list above. Each category shows how many Ruston, LA lenders fit and what that kind of lender is usually best for.
Independent mortgage companies closed 42.2 percent of home loans in Ruston, Louisiana in 2025, banks 55.4 percent and credit unions 2.4 percent. Assurance Financial Group, L.L.C. was the largest mortgage company, Century Next Bank the largest bank and Centric Federal Credit Union the largest credit union. Among lenders headquartered in Louisiana, Century Next Bank led with 31 loans.
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.
An attorney must handle the closing in Louisiana. None at the state level (the Louisiana Constitution bans new real estate transfer taxes); New Orleans charges a flat $325 documentary transaction tax on each sale and on each mortgage of $9,000 or more.
By home loans closed in 2025, Century Next Bank was the largest mortgage lender in Ruston, Louisiana with 31 loans, about 10.8 percent of the market. Source: Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for 2025, published by the FFIEC and CFPB.

Use the FHA and VA filters above the table to see only those lenders; FHA loans allow 3.5 percent down and lower credit scores, VA loans need no down payment for eligible veterans. Source: Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for 2025, published by the FFIEC and CFPB.
Yes. 32 banks and 6 credit unions closed home loans in Ruston, Louisiana in 2025, alongside 38 independent mortgage companies and brokers. Banks and credit unions carry a MonitorBankRates health grade. Mortgage companies are not deposit institutions, so they have no health grade; their HMDA figures and borrower reviews stand in. Source: Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for 2025, published by the FFIEC and CFPB.
Lenders are ranked only by the number of home loans they closed in Ruston, Louisiana during 2025 as reported under the federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. No lender pays to be listed or to rank higher, and reviews do not change the order. Counts cover first and second lien loans on one to four unit homes for purchase, refinance and home improvement; home equity lines are counted separately.
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 Ruston, Louisiana 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 Ruston. 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.
