If you’ve been researching mortgages in British Columbia, you may have come across the Mortgage Services Act (MSA), a new provincial framework set to take effect on October 13, 2026. At Rampone-Marsh Mortgages, we believe it’s important that our clients understand not just what’s changing, but why it matters to you as a homebuyer or homeowner.

Stronger Protection for Homebuyers and Homeowners

The MSA was created with consumers in mind. Its purpose is to raise standards across the mortgage industry in BC, helping ensure borrowers receive clear information, fair treatment, and advice that’s truly in their best interest. For you, that means greater transparency, clearer disclosures, and added confidence when making one of life’s biggest financial decisions.

What This Means When You Work With a Mortgage Broker

Under the new Act, mortgage professionals must meet updated licensing, education, and compliance standards. While much of this happens behind the scenes, the benefit to you is simple: you can feel confident that the guidance you receive comes from qualified professionals – such as our team at Rampone-Marsh Mortgages – who are held to modern regulatory expectations.

Why This Matters in Today’s Market

With rising home prices and fluctuations in interest rates, clear and trustworthy advice matters more than ever when making a large investment. BC’s Mortgage Services Act is intended to provide a more transparent mortgage environment—one where clients can ask questions, understand their options, and move forward with confidence.
