AD Mortgage’s Non-QM AUS Named 2026 Game Changer Award Winner

Fort Lauderdale, FL

AD Mortgage, a leading wholesale lender in the United States, has been named a 2026 Game Changer Award winner by PROGRESS in Lending for its Non-QM Automated Underwriting System (AUS), recognizing a major advancement in mortgage technology that brings automated underwriting to one of the industry’s most complex and historically difficult-to-automate segments.

The Game Changer Awards recognize new solutions and advancements to existing technologies that address meaningful industry challenges and improve the mortgage lending process. AD Mortgage was the first lender in the industry to launch an automated underwriting system specifically for Non-QM lending, bringing automation to a segment that has historically been difficult to automate due to complex borrower profiles, alternative income documentation and flexible program guidelines..

Integrated directly into AD Mortgage’s AIM Partner Portal, Non-QM AUS gives brokers a faster path to pre-approval by automatically evaluating Non-QM scenarios and generating loan-specific conditions. This allows brokers to quickly determine whether a borrower may be a fit, bringing greater speed, consistency and clarity to a process that has traditionally relied heavily on manual review.

“Non-QM lending requires flexibility, but that shouldn’t mean brokers have to sacrifice speed or clarity,” said Max Slyusarchuk, CEO of AD Mortgage. “We built Non-QM AUS around the way our partners actually work, giving them technology that helps simplify complex scenarios and provides clearer direction earlier in the process. Being recognized as a Game Changer validates the work our team has done to solve a real challenge in the Non-QM market.”

Key highlights include:

• Named a 2026 Game Changer Award winner by PROGRESS in Lending
• Built specifically to support complex Non-QM scenarios, including Bank Statement, DSCR and ITIN programs
• Integrated directly into the AIM Partner Portal, allowing brokers to access automated underwriting within their existing AD Mortgage workflow
• Provides automated loan decisions and program-specific conditions to give brokers greater clarity earlier in the process

The recognition comes as mortgage professionals increasingly look to lenders for technology that integrates more effectively into their existing workflows. AD Mortgage’s recent Technology in the Mortgage Industry survey found that 82.2% of mortgage professionals consider technology integration highly important, while 33.5% said they expect to adopt technology with lender support. These findings reinforce the growing demand for connected technology that helps brokers manage the lending process more efficiently.

The Game Changer Award further supports AD Mortgage’s focus on becoming The Lender of Choice by developing technology around the needs of its broker partners and addressing areas of the mortgage process where greater automation can have a meaningful impact.
