National mortgage lender New American Funding wins kudos both nationally and in Colorado for employee satisfaction.

New American Funding was recently named for the second year as one of the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For. 

The company was also honored on the Denver Post’s Top Workplaces list, moving from No. 5 in 2022 to No. 3 in 2023.

Earning recognition from Fortune shows how employees feel about working for New American Funding.

According to the ranking, more than 92% of employees say the company is a great workplace, compared to 57% of employees at most U.S. companies.

“When we began New American Funding in 2003, one of our founding principles was to ensure that our team always felt at home and that they were part of a family when they were at work,” Patty Arvielo, New American Funding CEO and co-founder said in a news release announcing the Fortune recognition.

“We’ve grown substantially over the last 20 years, but we’ve always maintained our commitment to our employees’ well-being,” she said.

“We’ve built our company on compassion, caring, support, and trust. That’s why it’s truly special to receive awards like this one, because it shows that our team believes in our mission just as much as we do.”

New American Funding offers a blended approach to staffing, with some employees working full-time in the office. Others work remotely, and a large population participates in a hybrid model, says Renae Souza, the company’s senior vice president of people and culture.

The company continues to innovate to provide new products to exceed customer needs and embrace new technology to help employees excel.

“We strive to lead innovation in our industry so that we can provide exceptional customer service and workplace experiences,” Souza says.
