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.

    They bought my mortgage last summer. In the process, someone dropped the ball. Nobody wanted to actually do their job or take any accountability. They kept blowing me off until their error caused me to lose the home I was trying to purchase. Typically, companies don't spend the money to rebrand unless they are hiding from something. I couldn't imagine what it could be.

    Was notified I became 30 days in arrears on my ONITY account. I am a previous PHH mortgage holder of approximately 10 years. Non payment was the result of the PHH/ONITY switch. Tried resolving this but ONITY has their customer service representatives outsourced to India. These individuals will make any effort to treat customers with any consideration they go by a scripted process which they will not deviate from nor make any effort to try to address my request. I would, and will suggest to anyone considering a mortgage with PHH/ONITY to find another company! Should mortgage rates fall I plan to have another mortgage company or bank manage my account.

      Holding my insurance check hostage for a month stopping me from finishing work on a fire I had on the property. I call every day, never get an answer on transfer, and ultimately hung up on.

      Didn't give them a 0 because it wasn't an option. Worst customer service in any industry. Need a problem researched, how about them telling you 30 business days, maybe!! Want to talk to someone in this hemisphere, good luck. I am buying a property that they foreclosed on and they screwed up the deed paperwork. I'll be lucky if it takes less than a year. Anyone else would take a week.

      If I could give this horrible mortgage company a minus number, I would. They are clueless regarding escrow. My homeowner insurance told me recently they cannot figure out where Onity gets their figures from because Onity's numbers & theirs do not match up. Onity is overcharging us! The staff doesn't know what they are doing. It's very hard to understand them because NONE of them speak clear English. Which makes you wonder if they are scam artists. They need to be investigated.

      I am so tired of companies that make you jump through hoops before answering your questions - and I am not talking about security questions. I was on a deadline, as my bank was closing and needed to access my account. They would not answer even clarifying questions about their website without me sharing information down to when is the best time to call my home! They literally said they were not allowed to engage until I provided all the information they needed. When I finally did, four different people = four different solutions. None of them worked. Every time I had to call back, they would not answer any questions unless I jumped through their hoops. When the last person admitted that there was an error on their end, the call suddenly disconnected. And remember all that information they needed in order to contact me?... no call back.

      I HATE that companies sell our mortgages and we have no say in who runs and limits access to our own accounts. We still cannot cash our insurance check for a flood that includes their name. We still cannot access the online account which they admitted had an error on it. For those who cannot find a person, the direct number is 888-882-1815 - but be prepared to be frustrated. Breathe first. It really is terrible.

      Absolutely terrible experience. If you ever have a way to NOT work with them, exercise that option. Our mortgage was transferred to Onity and were told that “you guys are exempt from this month's payment. Don’t worry about it”. Come to find out, that was not correct and they came at us HARD for the payment. They changed the due date, and even in light of their own mistake they REFUSED to work with us on a schedule to rectify it. What’s worse is they actually don’t care. They say they will transfer you to a specialist and the phone just rings and rings until you get tired. Trash. Disgusting company and ownership.

      Beware - Onity assumed our mortgage as the service provider and did NOT pay our homeowners insurance bill. But quickly offloaded the mortgage to another service provider within 2 weeks.
