Names on the record

How this is counted
- Source of record. Every closing is a mortgage recorded with the county that names Wafd Bank, or a spelling of it, as the lender. Loans where it appears as nominee, servicer or trustee are left out.
- One loan, one closing. A blanket loan over several lots, or a facility recorded once per property, counts once.
- Revealed, not stated. This is what Wafd Bank has done, not what it says it wants. It has not told us its credit box, and this page never guesses one from the sizes it has closed.
- Dated. The window is the last 36 months to Nov 2026. Re-counted every six hours from the weekly re-read of the record. An institution has a page once it has 10 closings in the window.
How spellings become one institution is on the methodology page. The same count across a whole market, with the 25 most active lenders named, is in who lends on Texas commercial real estate.
