COLUMBIA, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Veterans United Home Loans ranked No. 17 on Fortune Magazine’s list of 100 Best Companies to Work For® in 2020. This is the fifth consecutive year the nation’s No. 1 VA lender, according to statistics kept by the Department of Veterans Affairs, has been included. Veterans United was the highest-ranked mortgage lender to make the list.

“The employees are the heart and soul of what makes Veterans United what it is,” said Nate Long, CEO of Veterans United Home Loans. “Their passion to make a difference in the lives of Veterans and service members is inspiring. It is also inspiring to see their drive to enhance the lives of each other, each other’s families and our communities. That desire to put others first is the driving force of our company’s culture and success.”

Veterans United experienced significant growth in 2019, welcoming more than 1,000 new employees across the country. The company’s 3,100 employees focus on helping Veterans and their families secure homeownership.

In 2019, Veterans United Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Veterans United, donated nearly $1 million to support mental health and post-traumatic stress disorder initiatives across the nation through the Warrior Campaign. The campaign grew out of employees’ expressed desire to rally behind those who face the often-silent battle of mental illness and to show support for organizations who are helping raise awareness. In total, the foundation donated to 29 charities throughout the country. The foundation is supported by the company and its employees.
