KELOWNA – Shelter Lending Corporation has acquired Accepted Financial Corp. as the company continues to expand in alternative mortgage solutions across Western Canada.
As part of the transaction, Accepted Financial Corp. Managing Director Brad Currie will join Shelter Lending’s leadership team, bringing over 30 years of experience in the mortgage industry with him.
“This acquisition is about alignment,” says Shelter founder and Chairman David McKitrick. “Accepted Financial has built a strong reputation for service and relationships, which fits perfectly with how we approach lending. We’re excited to welcome Brad and his clients into the Shelter platform and continue to build together.”
Founded in 2014 and rebranded in 2019, Shelter Lending is a Canadian alternative mortgage lender operating across B.C., Alberta, and Manitoba that operates a mortgage investment fund structured as a mutual fund trust and has grown to more than $100 million in assets under management.
Shelter will remain focused on disciplined residential lending, strong broker partnerships, and providing practical mortgage solutions for borrowers who may not fit traditional lending channels. Guided by its long-term vision, the company continues to prioritize the protection of investor capital through conservative underwriting, residential real estate security, and steady, responsible growth. This acquisition represents another key step in Shelter Lending’s long-term vision to become a nationally recognized leader in alternative lending.
“As we continue to grow and execute our vision, we remain grounded in disciplined underwriting, strong relationships, and responsible growth,” notes Shelter President and Chief Operating Officer Jayson Zilkie. “Our goal is to continue building a lending company that brokers, borrowers, and investors can trust.”
