In the wake of the 2008 financial catastrophe, the Dodd-Frank Act was enacted in 2010, establishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to safeguard borrowers and regulate financial institutions. Despite this, we found that complexities and lack of transparency within the financial ecosystem continued to plague consumers. After billions in taxpayer funds were spent on creating an understandable format for Loan Estimates, a gap remained: there was no tool to aid consumers in comparing these estimates.
From this landscape emerged Confer, a company determined to disrupt the status quo. Our founders, with more than 145 years of combined experience in finance and technology, had a vision for a more transparent and equitable financial ecosystem.
At Confer, we’re dedicated to empowering consumers. We’ve created the only tool available that uses our proprietary technology to compare multiple official mortgage estimates, helping borrowers find the most favorable mortgage rates for their unique circumstances, whether buying or refinancing a home.
Our accomplished founding team has made significant contributions to the mortgage industry over the past two decades. Now, we’re putting that knowledge and experience to work to provide a product that truly serves consumers. We’ve dedicated countless hours and immense passion to this mission, striving to return power to the hands of consumers.
As an independent entity, we’re committed to helping consumers secure the most advantageous deal possible. We aspire to create an open and transparent system for borrowers and investors across the globe. At Confer, we’re democratizing finance.
