UWM, America's Second Largest Mortgage Lender, Drops Plans to Accept Cryptocurrency Payments
United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM), the second-largest mortgage lender in the United States, has dropped plans to accept cryptocurrency payments. The company began an industry-first trial of encrypted payments in August, but its CEO, Mat Ishbia, said the company didn't think the plan was worth it after testing it. Ishbia said that due to the current incremental costs and regulatory uncertainty in the crypto space, the company has concluded that it will not go beyond the scope of the pilot at this time. The Michigan-based mortgage company experimented with three different types of cryptocurrencies — bitcoin, ethereum, and dogecoin — and multiple different borrowers to see how the process would work. UWM successfully accepted its first cryptocurrency mortgage payment in September and another five in October. But the final results show that the demand does not exist. Borrowers “love” it and “say it’s cool,” but having the option to transact in cryptocurrencies “wasn’t a motivating factor,” Ishbia said.
