Arkansas mortgage licensing and lending evidence

The Department licenses mortgage brokers, mortgage bankers, mortgage servicers, and mortgage loan officers under the Arkansas Fair Mortgage Lending Act. Its published workbook keeps company rows, branch locations, and loan officer persons on separate sheets. A company, a branch, a person, an NMLS identity, and an HMDA application stay separate. This page does not rank lenders and does not publish one Arkansas lender total.

Company license rows

683

683 company IDs. All 683 print Approved. Four license names stay split below. This is not a branch count and not a loan-officer count.

Branch location rows

1,536

1,536 branch IDs across 268 company IDs. A branch is not a company. The sheet has no license-status column.

Mortgage loan officer persons

11,239

11,239 individual IDs. Persons are not companies. Names are not republished here.

Company sheet

The Arkansas Securities Department NMLS page labels the list of licensed mortgage companies, branches, and loan officers as of September 1, 2026. The workbook is the Department media file Licensed Mortgage Companies, Branches, and MLOs. The company sheet has 683 data rows and 683 company IDs. Every row prints License Status Approved. The four license names are the source's own classes. They are not added into a lender census, and they are not added to the branch or person sheets.

Company-sheet license names. Each row is one company ID. Not branches and not persons.

33 company rows list an Arkansas street state. That address fact is not the license count. A company can hold an Arkansas license and list an office in another state. The workbook tells readers to verify current license status at NMLS Consumer Access. An application through Form MU1 is not a row on this approved list. Control-person Form MU2 records were NOT_ACQUIRED.

Branch locations

The branch sheet has 1,536 location rows, 1,536 branch IDs, and 268 company IDs. The license-name column repeats the company license name. It is not a second company census and it is not added to the 683 company rows. The sheet does not print a branch license status. 120 branch rows list an Arkansas street state. That is not the branch count. A branch address is not a service area. Form MU3 is the branch application form. An application is not this location list.

Mortgage loan officers

The mortgage loan officer sheet has 11,239 person rows and 11,239 individual IDs. Every license name is AR Mortgage Loan Officer License. Sponsoring-company IDs on this sheet number 619. That sponsor count is not the 683 company-sheet count, and this page does not join a person to a company. Person names are not republished. A person is not a company. Approved - Inactive is still a status on this sheet. It is not removed from the person count and it is not treated as a denial of the other statuses.

2025 HMDA Arkansas-property activity

The accepted jurisdiction aggregate already used by Ask records 114,072 applications, 66,394 originations, and 20,091 denials (17.61% of the accepted application count). The existing county file has 75 county rows and sums to 116,797 applications and 21,095 denials, with the same 66,394 originations. This page does not replace the accepted aggregate with that county-file sum. The difference is unresolved. 674 LEI summary rows are reporting identities, not Arkansas Securities Department licenses and not NMLS company records.

A separate major-market slice has 19 county rows and is not the statewide aggregate. The denial/application ratio is not a lender quality score. HMDA applications are not license rows. This page does not publish a county or city route.

What this workbook does not contain

Mortgage enforcement orders were NOT_ACQUIRED. Complaints were NOT_ACQUIRED. A complaint is not a violation, and a missing order file is not zero orders. Exact canonical attachments: 0. Name-only adverse joins: 0. State-chartered bank counts were NOT_ACQUIRED and are not mortgage licenses. Money-services licenses were NOT_ACQUIRED. None of those gaps is filled with zero.
