“Our target customers are community banks, credit unions, national builders and independent mortgage bankers. We are a non-depository so we can 100% guarantee that we will not be soliciting the community banks’ customer or credit union members. HomeBridge is about quality and all these channels produce quality business, which fits in very well with our business model,” the lender said at the time.

As a result of the acquisition, Planet further established its status as a fully-integrated mortgage banker, staffed by a management team with a demonstrated track record of success. “We intend on leveraging the platform and expanding its product offerings with improved pricing to the market,” said Michael Dubeck, CEO of Planet Home Lending.
