The Mortgage Collaborative (TMC) and the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), two prominent US mortgage industry organisations, have formed a strategic partnership to strengthen lender advocacy and enhance member services. The collaboration aims to amplify the collective voice of mortgage lenders whilst providing expanded resources and support to member organisations across both associations.

National Mortgage Professional reported that the partnership establishes a framework for coordinated advocacy, knowledge sharing, and joint initiatives across the US mortgage industry.

Through the strategic alliance, TMC and MBA will collaborate on legislative advocacy, regulatory engagement, and policy development affecting mortgage lenders. The partnership enables both organisations to leverage their combined membership base and institutional expertise to influence industry standards and regulatory frameworks more effectively.

The collaboration will provide TMC members with access to MBA's extensive advocacy infrastructure, research capabilities, and policy expertise. Simultaneously, MBA gains deeper connections to independent mortgage bankers and community lenders represented within TMC's membership network.

Strategic partnerships between associations demonstrate how organisations can expand influence and member value without duplicating infrastructure or resources. By aligning efforts, associations achieve greater policy impact, reduce operational redundancies, and provide members with broader access to industry intelligence and networking opportunities.

The partnership reflects growing recognition within professional associations that collaborative models strengthen sectoral representation whilst enabling member organisations to navigate increasingly complex regulatory environments. Joint advocacy efforts allow associations to present unified positions to policymakers and regulators, increasing the likelihood of favourable industry outcomes.

TMC and MBA plan to coordinate member communications, share best practices, and develop joint educational programmes that address evolving challenges facing mortgage lenders across the United States.
