BwB Broker News

BwB Broker News Bridgewater Bank is a schedule 1 bank that works solely with brokers to be the very best alternative lender for non/near prime mortgages in Canada.

We know the market is challenging – and always changing – and we’re here to help. With more than 20 years of experience dealing with tougher-to-do deals, we have the stability and regulatory know-how to help get your deserving clients into homes, fast. We’ve gone through some big changes over the last two decades. We’ve weathered storms and re-charted our course, but our commitment to brokers has

remained. Through it all, we’ve had the continuous backing of our parent company, the Alberta Motor Association. We are rooted in the same culture, values and dedication to delivering safety and security to Canadians now and always. Like you, we’re everyday people who understand that real life is imperfect. Wouldn’t it be nice if we did everything right, all the time, and never took a financial misstep? Sometimes life hands you lemons, and we’re really good at making lemonade. Because we specialize in self-employed clients, those who earn income in less conventional ways, and those who have bruised credit, we’re a non-judgmental financial ally on your journey. We’re small, but mighty with 130 committed employees, a seasoned team of dedicated BDMs and solution-oriented underwriters, and 250 years of combined executive experience. We are unyielding in our quest to help brokers and gosh darn proud of it.

Underwriting Tip of the Week: Self-Employed Files

Before submitting a self-employed application, take time to understand your client’s business.

Know their cashflow, business cycle, and whether any one-time events have recently impacted income.

The more context you have upfront, the fewer surprises later, and the faster your file moves through underwriting. It helps you stay ahead of questions and keeps the submission process smooth and efficient.

Have everything you need on your next self-employed file? Let’s get it moving!
