Why approval and denial rates diverge. Approval (origination) rate and denial rate do not sum to 100% — HMDA records several outcomes beyond approved-and-funded, including files that were approved but not accepted by the applicant, withdrawn, or closed for incompleteness. VyStar Credit Union's 30.6% origination rate tells you how often an application turned into funded money; the 31.2% denial rate is a separate read on underwriting strictness. The most frequently cited denial reasons in this file were Credit history, Debt-to-income ratio, Collateral, which together explain the majority of rejections. Most activity concentrated in Conventional loans (9,095 applications).

How to read this page. These figures are aggregate HMDA disclosures — they describe this lender's overall 2024 book, not your individual odds. Approval and denial rates are shaped by the applicant mix a lender actually receives: credit profile, loan-to-value, debt-to-income, property type, and geography. A lower denial rate at one lender versus another does not necessarily mean easier underwriting — it often reflects borrower self-selection and loan-product specialization. This page is informational data reporting, not financial, legal, or mortgage advice. Compare multiple lenders, read your Loan Estimate carefully, and consult a licensed mortgage professional before applying. Data reflects 2024 disclosures published by the CFPB in 2025.
