KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sagent, a fintech company modernizing mortgage and consumer loan servicing for America’s top banks and lenders, today announced a partnership with the National Association of Minority Mortgage Brokers of America (NAMMBA) to shape the future of the servicing industry to reflect and embody the diverse American population it serves.
NAMMBA partners with banks, lenders, and fintechs to foster diversity and inclusion within these firms, bring financial literacy education to consumers, and mentor students and recent graduates as future innovation, diversity, and financial literacy leaders.
“Sagent powers loan servicers with a digital-first yet humanized consumer experience, and NAMMBA helps Sagent reflect the values and priorities of consumers we ultimately serve,” said Dan Sogorka, CEO and President of Sagent and a NAMMBA Visionary. “Per NAMMBA, 75% of all first-time buyers will be women, millennials, or people of color over the next five years, and Sagent will continue recruiting and mentoring team members who reflect this market."

Banks, lenders, and fintechs best aligned with this market will have the most success.
