The Alberta Mortgage Brokers Association (AMBA) is the collective voice of the mortgage brokerage industry in Alberta. AMBA develops a standard of excellence for its members through advocacy, education, information and networking. AMBA promotes an ethical and sustainable mortgage industry for consumers and industry members.

Founded in 1975, AMBA is an independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to highly ethical business principles and to advancing the industry’s high-level of integrity and professionalism.

Between 2015 and 2018, AMBA changed its membership structure, increased membership year-over-year, increased its advocacy efforts on behalf of the industry and established a strong relationship with the Mortgage Professionals of Canada (MPC) association.

With the pending departure of the current General Manager, the Board of Directors is looking for the next leader who will continue to lead the organization into the future.
