Our commitment

Simply Approved Mortgages is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continuously improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to help every senior homeowner understand their reverse mortgage options.

Conformance status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA published by the W3C. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities. This site is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 AA — some content or third-party components may not yet fully conform.

What we do

  • Use high-contrast text and design-system color tokens tested for WCAG AA contrast.
  • Provide descriptive alt text on informational images and empty alt on decorative images.
  • Label every form field, including our reverse mortgage calculator, with visible or ARIA labels.
  • Support full keyboard navigation and visible focus states on all interactive elements.
  • Use semantic HTML landmarks (header, main, footer) and a single H1 per page.
  • Set a minimum 44×44px tap target for primary actions on mobile.
  • Offer a Spanish version of key pages (calculator, HECM overview, eligibility, get quote).
  • Test with automated and manual assistive-technology reviews on an ongoing basis.

Third-party content

Some pages embed third-party content — for example Google Places for address suggestions, RentCast for home value estimates, and video providers. We do not control the accessibility of third-party services. If you encounter a barrier with third-party content, please contact us and we will work to provide the information in an accessible alternative format.

Requesting accommodations

If you need this website, our calculator, our lead form, or any loan disclosure provided to you in an alternative accessible format — including large print, braille, audio, or screen-reader-friendly text — please contact us using the options below. We will make every reasonable effort to provide the requested accommodation promptly and at no cost to you.

Reporting a barrier

If you experience an accessibility barrier on this website, please tell us. When contacting us, describe the barrier, the page or feature involved, and the assistive technology (if any) you were using so we can reproduce and fix it.

Contact us

We aim to respond to accessibility inquiries within 5 business days.

Formal complaint

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice under the Americans with Disabilities Act, or with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for issues related to lending communications.

Credit & pre-approval

Why we pull credit for your reverse mortgage pre-approval

HUD requires a Financial Assessment for every HECM reverse mortgage, including a review of your credit history and record of paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. As part of our standard broker/lender pre-approval process, we typically order a tri-merge credit report through a HUD-approved credit vendor to verify identity, review obligations, and confirm that you can continue paying property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintenance after closing. Whether a tri-merge is required, and any fees, are set by the wholesale lender and credit vendor — not by HUD as a stand-alone rule.

Pay for your credit report — SmartPay

Simply Approved Mortgages uses SmartPay to securely collect the credit report fee for your reverse mortgage pre-approval. Payment goes directly to the credit vendor — not to us — and unlocks a tri-merge credit report (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) that your loan officer uses to complete the broker/lender pre-approval file for HUD's Financial Assessment.

  • Secure, PCI-compliant checkout hosted by SmartPay
  • Standard step in our broker/lender pre-approval process (not a HUD stand-alone requirement)
  • Optional — you can decline; your loan officer will explain any impact on your options
