The company funded $2.3 billion of mortgages in the third quarter, compared to $1.9 billion in Q2.
Counsel also updated brokers on Street Capital’s bid to attain its banking license.

Looking ahead, we expect our strong market position and disciplined approach to lending to drive further positive results. In addition, Street Capital's bank licensing application is proceeding well and in accordance with expectations."
