Vietnamese-speaking loan officers in California
As of 2026-10-26, LenDb lists 57 loan officers licensed in or based in California whose lender pages say they speak Vietnamese. The top-ranked are Lani Vu (Loan Factory), Lisa Le (Loan Factory, Westminster) and James Trinh (Loan Factory). Ranking is lender-neutral: a license in CA, branch location, experience and profile completeness. Nobody pays for placement. Languages come only from loan officers' own lender pages, and most lender pages do not list languages. A loan officer missing from this list may still speak it: not listed means not stated, not that they do not speak it.
Last verified . Sources: loan officers' own lender pages and state license records. Licenses: check NMLS Consumer Access.

How this list is ranked
A loan officer is listed when their own lender page lists Vietnamese. Loan officers are included when a CA license is confirmed with the state regulator (check mark), CA is listed on their lender page, or they work at a bank or credit union (likely federally registered; verify at NMLS). Then branch location, experience and profile completeness. No paid placement. Methodology.
Same list as JSON: /api/v1/loan-officers?lang=vi&state=CA. Not a lender. Not a referral service. Verify licenses at NMLS Consumer Access.
