What is NMLS?

In short

NMLS is the United States licensing register, and the company number it holds is the quickest way to match a brand to its official record.

NMLS is the United States licensing system, and it holds a company number for every firm registered to do mortgage, lending and payments business. The number belongs to the company rather than the product, so a reader can match a brand against it and see the registrations that sit behind an account. Engine by Gen is listed as 1475872 and Navy Federal Credit Union as 399807.
