Yes, Axos Bank is a direct lender, which means they handle the full loan process, from application to funding and beyond, instead of simply matching you with another lender. Direct lenders are the only ones that handle your information, so it’s more secure, and they make the loan process faster by removing middlemen.

In the end, your loan comes directly from Axos Bank, not through a partnering bank or credit union. Getting a loan from a direct lender may get you better rates than from an indirect lender, as well.
