Join a Team That Values Precision and Purpose

We’re looking for a detail-oriented Lending Support Underwriter to join our lending team in Irving. In this role, you’ll play a key part in evaluating, underwriting, and finalizing consumer loans — including direct and indirect, home improvement, home equity, credit card, and line of credit loans. You’ll ensure every decision is made with care, compliance, and member satisfaction in mind.

If you’re someone who thrives on analysis, enjoys solving complex lending scenarios, and takes pride in supporting both members and frontline staff, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

What You’ll Do

Evaluate loan applications for consumer direct and indirect loans, analyzing financial data to assess creditworthiness and determine appropriate risk levels.

Make informed lending decisions — approve, deny, or escalate applications based on established policies.

Prepare and finalize home equity loan documents, guiding members through terms, conditions, and closing processes.

Assist in loan servicing by handling payoffs, refinances, extensions, and collateral releases under the direction of the Lending Support Manager.

Ensure full compliance with Fair Lending laws, federal regulations, and internal loan policies.

Review post-funding documentation to confirm accuracy and integrity of all loan details.

Collaborate with branch and lending teams, answering questions and providing guidance on loan policies, procedures, and decisions.

How You’ll Be Measured

Loan reviews and underwriting are accurate, compliant, and completed efficiently.

Members and internal teams receive timely, professional communication and support.

Loan decisions and documentation maintain the highest levels of integrity and compliance.

Delinquency and write-off ratios remain aligned with credit union objectives.
