Rates

Onity Mortgage does not publish its starting rates online. In order to receive an accurate rate quote, you’ll need to apply for preapproval by contacting the company. Keep in mind the difference between the interest rate and the annual percentage rate (APR) — the APR includes both interest and fees.

On its website, Onity Mortgage mentions its Loyalty Lock-In program, which states it will beat a competitor’s offer on a new home loan or pay your mortgage for a month.

Application process

You can start the preapproval process with Onity Mortgage online or over the phone. If you choose to do it online, you’ll need to answer six short questions, including the type of mortgage you’re applying for and the loan amount you’re seeking.

From there, a loan officer will contact you directly to gather more information. Be prepared to answer questions about your income and assets. You will also need to submit documentation to verify this information (like W-2s and bank statements). After you receive preapproval, you can use the online borrower portal to see the up-to-date status of your loan.

Onity Mortgage application features

Loan types

Onity Mortgage offers several mortgage products, including fixed-rate conventional loans, government-backed loans (like FHA and VA) and jumbo loans for those who need to borrow beyond the conforming loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

You can also refinance with Onity Mortgage, whether you’re aiming to cash out, get a lower interest rate or shorten your loan term. The company offers 15-, 20-, 25- and 30-year terms on its conventional loans.

Refinancing

Onity Mortgage offers refinancing and cash-out refinancing options. Refinancing lets you adjust your rate or term of your current mortgage loan, lowering your monthly payments. Onity Mortgage’s Rate Redo option lets you refinance your mortgage again if rates drop and the company will cover the lender fees.

Requirements

Each type of loan Onity Mortgage offers has different eligibility requirements for things such as credit score, income, debt-to-income (DTI) ratio and property type. Before you apply for preapproval, an Onity Mortgage loan officer can help you determine which loans you are eligible for and how much you can borrow.

Onity Mortgage doesn’t disclose many of its loan requirements. However, most lenders require a 620 credit score to be eligible for a conventional loan; FHA loans require a credit score of at least 500 to 580.

Jumbo loans typically require higher credit scores  — at least 680. Onity Mortgage does state that most FHA loans and VA loans require a 3.5% down payment. A conventional loan typically requires at least a 3% down payment.

Cost and fees

    Absolutely the worst company I’ve ever dealt with and has some slimy business practices. Good luck getting an actual person to answer their phone. I never have an escrow account. I’m perfectly capable of managing payment of insurance and taxes myself. I sent them a coverage page for my insurance, and with no authorization, they signed me up for an escrow account and upped my payment.

    Absolutely god awful customer service. Attempting to pay off our loan, and the plainly offshored phone support provided the wrong instructions, insisted the wire was being processed for 7 days before finally escalating, who then told me the wire had not been processed and returned, AFTER the payoff quote end date.

      My loan was transferred to Onity earlier this year. They have the most terrible communication. They don't reply to online messages or call back. The hold time is way too long. But, when you eventually do get hold of a representative, they are friendly and courteous. I had requested a new escrow analysis due to a significant decrease in my homeowners insurance premium. I was advised it would be done within 2 weeks. It's been almost a month and it has yet to be done.

      We sold our house and they told us we owed them $487. So we wire them the money then we are going to buy our new house and they are saying we still owe them $2,100 for an escrow shortage but this is all after we have already sold and signed all paper work. Currently sitting on the phone with them for an hour to figure out what’s going on. Awful awful experience.

      I have had mortgages for three decades and never had any problems. This company is a mess!!! My mortgage check NEVER cleared that I sent 2 weeks ago. When I called with concern, they are saying I've been credited a different amount (which also magically never cleared my checking account). They can't provide check numbers or basic information. It's very stressful and unnecessary. It's a basic payment. We are easy customers that pay on time, in full, every single month. It's not difficult!!!! I STILL don't know where we stand. Never had a problem with PNC. Onity sucks and borderline seems fraudulent.

      PHH Mortgage changed their name to Onity this year. Our mortgage was down to its last payment and our account has always been on auto-pay. A few days after our mortgage was supposed to be paid off, I logged on to find that the auto-pay had been turned off, a payment couldn't be made online and our payment is now late, which we NEVER had happen before.

      I called, the lady I spoke with was very friendly and explained that our last payment had to be done by a certified method (ie. wire transfer, certified check, money order, etc) and then asked me if I would like a payoff quote for our account. I pressed as to why they didn't automatically send us this information BEFORE our payment was due and she didn't have an answer other than it is policy. Then she wanted to charge me $30 to get a payoff quote, which is something they should just automatically provide to those that are down to their last payment. After continuing to explain that I didn't understand how this is policy, she offered to waive the $30 payoff quote fee. How does this even happen?! Unbelievable that they wouldn't provide a customer that is on their last payment, the means and information necessary to pay off their account BEFORE their due date. Instead I had to call and ask?!

      If I could give this company zero I would. I got my loan in March. It was sold immediately to Franny Maye, and then to PHH and then to Onity. I never received any documentation, a letter and email, etc. to this day. I was following up with them because they came up on my credit report as my mortgage lender, they could not find my mortgage for months. They suggested that I email their research team, which I did no response. I was calling a couple of times a month, still nothing until three days ago when they were able to find my loan, they then expected me to do a lump sum payment for the outstanding mortgage.

      I asked if I could pay in installments just due to daily withdrawal limits, and I have spent the last two days trying to work through this. There is a constant back-and-forth because I don’t believe they understand what I’m trying to do. They also charge me late fees on the mortgage. Is this actually a company or a front because I cannot believe this is what I’m having to deal with. I’ve dealt with several other mortgage companies in the past with my other mortgage when it’s been sold and I’ve always had communication to reach out for confirmation. Customer service has always been very helpful. I would encourage you all to avoid this company like the plague.

      The worst company ever!!!! They charged me $1,447.92 because they did not receive my payment. I understand a late fee but that amount, is a shame!!! It is unacceptable!!! I spoke to the representative and my portfolio manager, and they both told me there is nothing to do. The portfolio manager said, "We called you guys letting you now about the payments to do." I said yes but no one never told me about that high penalty and he said quote: "that information is irrelevant." This is a shame. Personally, this is going to be the first and last time I use this company. Never again. I am very disappointed!!! It is a shame!!!

      Charging $3000 in fees 3 years after a potential foreclosure where all fees and payments were PAID IN FULL. What a shocking bill to receive in 2026 when these items were PAID IN FULL in 2023. They said they added it in 2023, but I got the bill in 2026!!! Beware! They're coming after me and my social security income. If anyone is interested in a civil lawsuit, please contact me at **.

      My mortgage was previously PHH. A FEW WEEKS ago I noticed my mortgage company name change to Onity Mortgage. So far I had poor experience with this company. Customer service is the worst experience ever the people were so rude and ignorant. I called two different times with the same question and I got two different answers. If I could give them a negative star rating, I would.
