Fintech Lower adds Honor Home Loans to company roster

Fintech company Lower has expanded its family of companies, adding Tennessee-based Honor Home Loans to its retail group.

The lender, which operates in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alabama, is the latest brand to join Lower’s retail channel, including Hamilton Home Mortgage and Homeside Financial. Twenty-year (20-year) mortgage veteran Derek Vandlen will continue to serve as vice president at Honor, leading more than 60 team members across several branches.  

“The team at Honor is on top of their game, and we’re proud they chose to join the Lower family. Their relentless pursuit of a simple, helpful path to homeownership aligns perfectly with our mission,” said Mike Baynes, co-founder and managing partner at Lower. “They prioritize the customer experience, and we know our customers and partners will get a five-star experience working with the Honor team. We look forward to seeing what they’ll accomplish with us.”
