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.

    Horrible customer service. Completely inaccurate Escrow analysis. I offered to bring my escrow into balance and included the county's tax letter regarding my property taxes. I received a letter letting me know Onity is now collecting TWO years of property taxes and insurance to satisfy escrow accounts. They refuse to recalculate until they have double what is due!!!! BEWARE! If your mortgage is purchased by this company find a way out ASAP!!! Their escrow calculations are WAY OFF!! THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS OUTSOURCED. CLEARLY THEY DO NOT SUPPORT AMERICA OR USA RESIDENTS.

    Do not do business with Onity mortgage! They are doing the same accelerated notice of default that they just had to settle a lawsuit under the name PHH mortgage. See Williams vs PHH mortgage. I just tried to make a payment to catch my loan up and they refused it three times. I am only leaving one star because it will not let me submit without selecting that.

      I have never experienced the type of customer care that this bank does not give. I am on every two week withdrawals auto pay from my bank account and every month I get a letter from them actually two letters that say that my payments overdue and it may result in extra fees and interest every single month written in Red. Every single month I call on a mortgage first of all the call goes overseas to people with a language barrier and that just keeps saying I’m sorry ma’am I’m sorry ma’am I’m sorry ma’am. I had to ask no less than six times to be transferred to someone in the US. I have talked to people in the US before about the same issue which never gets resolved. I hate this mortgage company. I would go with any mortgage company before this.

      If I could it would be zero stars. This is the worse mortgage company I have experienced. They can’t even get your statement sent out on time. They took over servicing my mortgage 4 months ago and not one statement has made it before it was due. Majority of the people there just want to blame it on the postal service taking 2 weeks to deliver, but it’s funny that they have sent other mail that only took 5 days to arrive. It’s like they want you to be late.

      I received an email, a "Homeowner Snapshot," and it was addressed to a name of a person who does not exist, or at least no one with that name has access to this email account. Additionally, I had never used Onity's services before, so I was confused when I received the email. I checked with the "forgot password" function on their login page, and sure enough, no follow-up email appeared in my inbox regarding that. However, when I called to inquire and have my email purged from their databases (because I have never used their services) they hung up on me without any warning of the fact because (presumably, remember, I got no warning) I could not give them a "loan number" or "account number" or whatever identification numbers (remember, I have never used their services! I don't know what they're talking about!) relating to the email address. How rude.

      They do not offer bi-monthly payments. Seem to be confused by it. I do this through a 3rd party, and have to call every time because they do not process the payment properly. Customer service is horrible. Simple questions are not simple to them. Also, called to make a payment (since they changed my amount) and they said to call back next week, making it late, because they couldn't process it yet.

      I am filing this complaint regarding Onity Mortgage's handling of my escrow analysis and its refusal to answer questions about the projected escrow disbursement dates used to calculate a $1,468.13 escrow shortage. My July 1, 2026, escrow analysis projects these disbursements: December 2026 property tax ($2,789.76), April 2027 property tax ($2,789.76), and April 2027 hazard insurance ($1,818.30). Based on this schedule, Onity projects my escrow balance will reach negative $235.16 in April 2027, creating a $1,468.13 shortage and increasing my monthly payment.

      I do not dispute the tax or insurance amounts. My concern is the timing of the projected disbursements. My previous servicer projected these payments on a December-April-May schedule. When I asked Onity why the second property tax payment was moved from May to April, I was told the analysis reflects when payments are actually made. However, this is inconsistent because my hazard insurance has historically been paid in March, yet Onity projects it in April. They moved the second tax payment earlier but did not apply the same logic to the insurance payment.

      I specifically requested an explanation of the projected disbursement dates and why the second tax payment was projected in April rather than May. Instead, Onity responded only that there were no changes to the tax or insurance amounts and closed the review without addressing my question. Using the previous December-April-May schedule, the projected escrow low balance would increase by one monthly escrow payment ($616.49), reducing the calculated shortage by approximately the same amount.

      I request that Onity provide a substantive explanation of the disbursement dates used, disclose the historical payment dates relied upon, review whether the analysis accurately reflects the expected timing of tax and insurance payments, and explain why it continues to ignore the specific issue I raised while responding only about amounts that are not in dispute. I have been trying to resolve this with them for WEEKS. The agents on the phone are RUDE and asked me if I understood basic math. I so with my mortgage was sold to ANYONE but them. Also, you cannot understand the agents on the phone with their accents and have to wait for an email reply and are unable to communicate with anyone on the phone with their escalation department.

      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.
