Flagstar Financial (NYSE:FLG) (NYSE:FLG) is a Detroit‐area–based bank holding company principally engaged in residential mortgage origination and servicing, commercial banking, and deposit services. Operating through its wholly owned subsidiary, Flagstar Bank, the company provides a suite of mortgage products across retail, wholesale and correspondent channels, as well as warehouse lending to mortgage bankers. In addition, Flagstar offers traditional community banking services, including checking and savings accounts, business loans and treasury management solutions.
Founded in 1987 in Michigan, Flagstar has grown from a single‐state lender into one of the nation’s leading nonbank mortgage originators and servicers. Over the years, the company expanded its footprint through strategic acquisitions and investments in digital platforms, broadening its reach into markets across the United States. In 2022, Flagstar became a subsidiary of New York Community Bancorp, strengthening its capital base and community banking capabilities while retaining its brand identity and operational independence.
Flagstar’s residential lending business encompasses purchase and refinance mortgages, affordable housing loans, and government‐insured programs backed by agencies such as the Federal Housing Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Its servicing portfolio includes both in‐house and third‐party servicing, supported by advanced loan administration systems. On the commercial side, the company extends credit to small‐ and middle‐market businesses and offers online and mobile banking platforms for personal and commercial customers.
Headquartered in Troy, Michigan, Flagstar serves clients nationwide through a combination of branch offices and digital channels. The company’s senior leadership team, led by President and Chief Executive Officer Glenn A. Montgomery, comprises experienced professionals in banking, mortgage finance and risk management.
