Bigger Block, Bolder Future

Neighbourhood has officially welcomed Fisgard to the family — bringing together two respected alternative lenders to build something even stronger.

From now on, all new mortgage originations will be funded under the Neighbourhood banner. The familiar Fisgard team you’ve worked with is now part of one unified brand, giving you:

• Expanded product options to better serve your clients

• More resources and support to make every deal smoother

• Broader national reach under a trusted, established lender

Your relationships stay exactly where they’ve always been — with the same people, the same service, and a shared commitment to making alternative lending simple, straightforward, and transparent.

All new mortgage originations should now be submitted to Neighbourhood.

You can keep using the same platforms you already know — Lendesk, Filogix, and Velocity — just select Neighbourhood Holdings as the lender.

You’ll still be working with the same trusted BDMs and underwriters, now all under one roof. And this is just the beginning — over the coming months, we’re streamlining our systems to give you a faster, smoother, and more connected submission experience than ever before.

As the integration unfolds, you can expect an expanded suite of mortgage products designed to offer:

• More flexibility across property types, loan sizes, and borrower profiles

• A broader range of solutions built on the combined strengths of two experienced teams

• More options to help you place deals confidently and competitively

We’re also growing our footprint. Neighbourhood plans to expand into Saskatchewan and Manitoba, giving brokers even more opportunities to serve clients across Western Canada.

This is just the start of what’s ahead.

No — and in fact, we expect things to get even better.

Both teams are maintaining their current service levels while investing in technology to streamline and expedite approvals. With a larger, unified team, you’ll have more underwriters, more support, and quicker funding as our systems continue to evolve.

Your experience is our priority — not just protecting it, but improving it.

Exactly who you always have.

You can keep reaching out to your current contacts — your favourite BDMs, underwriters, and support staff — just like before. All former Fisgard team members are now part of Neighbourhood, so you’ll be working with the same trusted people, now under one unified brand.

If you’re ever unsure who to contact, simply email connect@neighbourhood.com, and we’ll make sure you’re connected with the right person quickly.

This move creates one of Canada’s largest independent alternative lenders, with over $750M in assets under management and a decade of strong growth behind it.

It’s part of Neighbourhood’s 10-year milestone and a long-term strategy to scale significantly, expanding our national presence and deepening our impact as a leading force in alternative lending.

Our goal is simple: to raise the bar for the industry through fair and transparent lending practices that put people first.

For borrowers with existing mortgages previously funded under the Fisgard name, there are no changes to their loan terms or how payments are handled. They’ll continue to make payments as usual and receive the same dedicated service from the Neighbourhood team now managing those accounts.

For new originations, all mortgages will now be funded under Neighbourhood, with expanded products and the same commitment to transparent, flexible lending.

In short, existing borrowers remain fully supported, and new clients benefit from a stronger, unified Neighbourhood.

There’s no disruption to how renewals or discharges are handled.

Neighbourhood will be the servicer for all existing Fisgard mortgages — and the same people who’ve been managing renewals and discharges at Fisgard will continue to do so as part of the Neighbourhood team.

For new originations, renewals, and discharges will also be managed directly by Neighbourhood, creating a more unified and streamlined process over time.

In short: same people, same service — just working together under one brand.

No additional onboarding is required.

If you were already approved to submit to either Fisgard or Neighbourhood, you’re all set — your existing credentials, access, and relationships remain valid.

You can continue submitting deals through Lendesk, Filogix, or Velocity by selecting Neighbourhood Holdings as the lender.

Please send your updated brokerage or agent distribution lists to connect@neighbourhood.com.

We will make sure your contacts are included in future communications, product updates, and rate announcements — ensuring your team stays informed and connected.
