How these numbers are counted

Reported application outcomes and pricing, 2025

  • Filed asBell Bank
  • 2025 home loan decisionsOf 12,553 applications decided by Bell Bank in 2025, 11,534 were originated, 124 were approved but not accepted by the borrower, and 895 were denied.
  • Approval rate: approved (originated plus approved but not accepted) as a share of applications decided (approved plus denied) = 92.9%. Withdrawn, incomplete and purchased loans are not counted.
  • Withdrawn, incomplete and purchasedBeyond the decisions above, 1,919 applications were withdrawn by the borrower, 63 were closed for incompleteness, and 22 loans were purchased from another lender. HMDA counts these as outcomes in their own right — withdrawn before a decision, closed with no decision reached, and a purchased loan is one bought from another lender — and none of them is a lending decision.
  • Median rate spread0.22 percentage points above the average prime offer rate (reported on 11,223 originations, 311 reported no spread at all — a median of what was reported, not of everything originated)

These are reported outcomes from past applications, and on their own they do not show how this lender treated any borrower.
