For many people, buying a home represents far more than a financial transaction. It is a milestone, an investment in the future and often the beginning of a new chapter. At Stride Mortgage, a division of Stride Bank, N.A., helping borrowers navigate that journey means combining personalized guidance with lending solutions designed for the many different ways people earn, invest and build their lives.
Stride Mortgage officially launched as a dedicated division of Stride Bank in 2021, building on the bank’s long history of residential mortgage lending. The move created a specialized team focused exclusively on helping individuals and families achieve homeownership while maintaining the relationship-driven service that has long defined Stride Bank.
Since then, Stride Mortgage has grown into a multi-state lender with experienced mortgage loan originators serving communities throughout Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Texas and Arkansas. Its largest mortgage operations are centered in Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Kansas City, while the strength and capabilities of Stride Bank allow the mortgage division to serve borrowers across a broader geographic footprint.
What distinguishes Stride Mortgage is the range of options available to today’s borrowers. Traditional mortgage programs remain an important part of their services, including conventional, FHA, VA and USDA loans. The company also offers specialized financing options designed to meet circumstances that may not fit neatly within traditional lending guidelines.
That flexibility is especially evident in Stride Mortgage’s expanded portfolio of Non-Qualified Mortgage, or Non-QM, lending solutions. Bank Statement Loans can help self-employed borrowers who may not have traditional income documentation, while 1099 Loans are tailored for independent contractors. DSCR Loans focus on an investment property’s cash flow, providing options for real estate investors with unique income sources. Asset Amortization Loans offer another path for qualified borrowers whose financial strength may be reflected more clearly through accumulated assets than conventional income documentation.
By understanding each borrower’s overall financial picture, Stride Mortgage helps borrowers feel supported and confident throughout their journey. That combination of lending expertise, flexible solutions and individual attention can create opportunities for qualified borrowers who might otherwise find the traditional mortgage process challenging.
The company’s commitment to service has earned recognition throughout the industry and across Oklahoma. Stride Mortgage was named the “2026 Best Mortgage Company” by 405 Magazine and received the “AmeriHome Correspondent EPIC Client Award” in 2022, 2023 and 2024. The company was also recognized as an Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency Leading Light Lending Partner in 2022 and 2023 for helping Oklahoma families pursue homeownership. Members of the Stride Mortgage team have also been recognized by Scotsman Guide among the nation’s top-performing mortgage professionals.
Those achievements reflect a team that values relationships as much as technology. Stride Mortgage combines modern lending tools with experienced professionals who guide borrowers through the process, answer questions and help identify financing options suited to their circumstances and goals, fostering a sense of trust and reassurance.
As a member of the Mortgage Bankers Association, the Oklahoma Mortgage Bankers Association, and the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce, and as an approved Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency lending partner, Stride Mortgage remains connected to both its industry and the communities it serves.
Whether working with a first-time homebuyer, a growing family, a self-employed professional, or a real estate investor, Stride Mortgage approaches each opportunity with the same goal: helping qualified borrowers move forward with confidence. Backed by the strength of Stride Bank, N.A., the company continues to expand what is possible in home lending while keeping personalized service at the center of the experience. Stride Bank, N.A. is a Member FDIC, Equal Housing Lender.
