For Financial Professionals

Help Your Clients With Their Biggest Financial Decision, Without Sending Them Elsewhere

Your clients already trust you with their taxes, their investments, and their long-term plans. But when they buy a home or refinance, they usually leave your office and work with someone they have never met.

Wymac Capital’s Cypher Partner program lets CPAs, enrolled agents, financial planners and other financial professionals become licensed mortgage loan originators and handle their own clients’ home loans. We provide the training, the lender relationships, the processing, and the technology. You provide the trusted advice you already give.

Most of our partners run their own firms and add mortgage origination as a service for their existing clients, typically taking about an hour of their time per loan spread over two to four weeks.

A Licensed Partnership, Not a Referral Arrangement

Federal law (RESPA Section 8) generally prohibits paying referral fees for residential mortgage business. Our program is built differently on purpose.

Every Cypher Partner is a licensed mortgage loan originator (MLO) with Wymac Capital: their California DRE license is affiliated with Wymac, and their NMLS MLO endorsement is sponsored by Wymac. Partners originate their clients’ loans themselves; they don’t refer clients to us. They are paid a commission for that origination work, and nobody is paid simply for passing along a name.

Why Financial Professionals Partner With Wymac

Keep the client relationship in your hands
A mortgage is one of the largest financial commitments your clients will make. When you guide them through it, you protect the relationship and keep their full financial picture in view.

Protect clients from expensive retail-lender mistakes
When clients walk into a big retail bank or respond to a national call-center ad, slick salespeople frequently push them into paying $15,000+ in closing costs and discount points to buy down a rate. Over the past 30+ years, lenders have known the math favors the house: borrowers rarely hold a loan long enough to reach the break-even point before rates drop again. As your client’s trusted advisor, you can put those numbers in perspective and guide them into a competitive market or no-points, no-fees structure instead.

Give more complete advice
You already know your clients’ income, tax situation and goals. Being able to talk about financing as well lets you give advice that fits together.

Earn added revenue for real work
Cypher Partners are paid a fixed, disclosed commission for the origination work they do. (See “How Cypher Partners Are Paid” below.)

Let us handle the mortgage machinery
Wymac manages lender relationships, upfront hands-on document review, loan processing, and day-to-day support, so you can concentrate on your client and your practice.

Use patented technology built for busy professionals
Our proprietary Cypher platform keeps the work organized, so serving a mortgage client takes about an hour of your time spread over two to four weeks instead of taking over your practice.

How Cypher Partners Are Paid

Cypher Partners earn a fixed, transparent commission for the origination work they perform. It is structured to comply with the loan originator compensation rules of the Dodd-Frank Act and Regulation Z, and it is disclosed to the consumer. On consumer mortgage loans covered by those rules, it does not vary with the interest rate or other loan terms. We share full compensation details with prospective partners after they contact us. The commission is included in the loan disclosures the lender provides to the consumer.

Your Clients Stay Covered After Closing

With RateAnalyzer, our patented rate-monitoring system, we keep watching your client’s mortgage after the loan closes. When the client could refinance to a lower rate on a no-points, no-fees basis, RateAnalyzer flags it, giving you a reason to contact the client with good news. Clients with existing mortgages originated elsewhere can also enroll their loans on our Track My Rate page.
