How to Save the Most Online
Recent digital-only startups may seem convenient. But can they actually cost you more?
Things like incomplete service, hidden fees and restrictions and higher penalties can sure take the convenience out of a purely-online mortgage service. Luckily, we're here to help save your approval (and your money).
Save the most — with the best brokerage.
At True North Mortgage, even online, you get full service and a professional, highly trained broker at your side. For over 18 years, we've perfected your low rate, better mortgage options, and personalized, expert advice — for a speedy approval that helps you save thousands.
We've earned your trust with the most 5-Star reviews in the industry.
Mortgages can be complicated, but not to our highly trained brokers. We've helped many clients who were frustrated with a digital-only startup.
Our you-first service stands out no matter how you do a mortgage with us. You'll get a better product with your low rate and the attention your mortgage deserves for on-time lender approval.
We'll let our clients do the talking about our online service — check out what people say about us.
With us, you know who's working on your mortgage.
Our crazy-good experts are clearly listed and easily accessible for mortgage help (in your preferred language). Whether you apply online or stop by a store, you get a real person who cares about your best mortgage experience, now and later.
Your dedicated broker is salaried and non-commissioned for unbiased advice. Need a down payment or debt-clearing strategy? Not sure whether you should choose a variable or fixed rate? They're here to help.
And, their huge volume means they pass along a rate discount, while comparing thousands of products and several lenders on your behalf for a stress-free process.
Making mortgages easy breezy for over 18 years.
We've been happily giving our clients better rates, the easy way, for many (mortgage) years. Meanwhile, mortgage startups come and go, charging hidden fees and higher penalties while skimping on service. As a trusted full-service brokerage, we make light work of your mortgage.

| True North Mortgage | Digital-Only Services | |
|---|---|---|
| Industry leader | True North Mortgage has been a Mortgage Industry leader and disrupter for over 16 years. Often imitated, never duplicated. | In catch up mode, going for volume while skimping on service |
| 5-star reviews | We work and train hard for a unified service response, and it shows in our 12,000 reviews (and counting). We also have a perfect 5/5 on review platforms and at all store locations. | Yeah, you should go read them. 😉 Sure, some 5/5's, but also a lot of 1/5's |
| Branch locations | Yes. Prefer face-to-face help for the biggest purchase you'll likely ever make? Drop by and talk to your broker in person when 'online' just won't do. | Nope. Nada. No in-person service offered, no brokers listed on websites, no mobile brokers. |
| Great online tools | Definitely, our tools and brokers work in tandem for simplicity at a great rate. | Yes |
| In-house lender | Our experienced in-house lender has funded billions in mortgages since 2016. True North was the first broker to have a CMHC-approved in-house lender. | Some do, though newer on the scene. |
| Funny restrictions and hidden fees? | Nope. We believe that flexible options with your best rate saves you more, and we take you through the fine print to help you make the choice that's right for you. | Ultra low rates and cash-back offers can come with hidden restrictions and fees, or higher penalties that may end up costing more, later. |

We’ve helped Canadians arrange over $20B in mortgages.
True North Mortgage does more volume than any other broker — giving us access to the best possible rates from lenders. Plus, to get your rate even lower, we regularly sacrifice a portion of the commission paid by the lender to pass it on to you.
