About Eastern Caribbean Home Mortgage Bank

The Eastern Caribbean Home Mortgage Bank (ECHMB) is a regional development finance institution established in 1994 by member governments of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU), including Saint Lucia. It operates as a secondary mortgage market institution, meaning it does not typically lend directly to individuals but instead works with banks and financial institutions to improve access to housing finance across the region. ECHMB’s core mandate is to increase home ownership, strengthen housing finance systems, and support capital market development within the Eastern Caribbean.
