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.

    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.

      The worst mortgage company I have ever had, and I'm over 60 years old. Problem #1, three times a call from that mortgage company was scheduled with me and two others - never came those three times. Problem #2, the menu on the phone and the AI chat on their website are both complete crap. Problem #3, they sent a payoff amount on one day, good through our closing date. After closing, and paying the payoff in full, they claimed I owed a few more thousand because they allegedly paid taxes the day after the payoff letter was sent. And, by the way, someone tried to call me twice without success. Yeah, right. They never contacted me by my email nor posted anything on my Onity webpage regarding any immediate or important issues. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY.

      If I could give negative stars, I would. Had my mortgage with Summit for 5+ years. There were NO problems. Summit sold to Onity. First payment through my bank and they “don’t process for 4 business days”; “7-10 business days”; then “it’s your bank”. They are TRYING to stall processing of my payment to, what charge me late fees, discredit my loan?!? I have paid 2x now-once through my bank, once on their portal and NEITHER have been processed yet my bank shows receipt out on the 1st and I have their portal receipt for 05/07/2026. I think all customer service reps are bots. They are definitely a call center with ZERO mortgage experience. I think they are doing scammy things. I don’t want to refi because I have a GREAT low interest rate! I’m held captive!!

      They are scammers. They took $1040 to put towards my escrow account and never applied it. The overseas representative was extremely rude and told me to contact my attorney and then hung up on me.

      By far the absolute worst, most unethical corporate group I've ever dealt with. The continual omission of the full picture from their representatives, their unwillingness to help until I filed a complaint with state and federal regulatory bodies, and intentional dragging of their feet in every interaction - I couldn't begin to imagine anyone working here can sleep well at night. This is a tragedy that this kind of institution can exist in the 21st century, surviving off of extractive, zero-sum tactics vs. actually creating value via a better experience.

      My mortgage was sold to PHH within the first couple months of buying my house. I immediately started having issues with them processing payments on time, adding late fees while on automatic withdrawal. I set up a separate bank account specifically for my house payment. I would transfer $250 to this account every week. My mortgage payment was the only thing coming out of this account. Everything was going smooth or so I thought. After taking the first 3 or 4 (January- March) months' worth of payments from this account without incident.

      Fast forward to July, I receive a notice from PHH stating my payment was behind 4 months and they were going to start foreclosure. I called them and they informed me no payment has been made. I told them its setup on automatic withdrawal. They inform me that there is not an automatic withdrawal setup on my account. I log into my bank account and all the money is just sitting there. I tell the representative to take the payments out and reset this account for automatic withdrawal. She does. It lasts for 5 months, then the same thing happens. Luckily, I caught it in time before I received any more BS charges.

      Over the nearly 8 years, this has happened many times. In July of 2025, I had to apply for a loan modification due to hitting a very rough time in life. I get approved, and they send the forms. I recieved them 2 days before the deadline to return them. I call them and they tell me they will notate the account and go ahead and fill them out. So, I fill them out, notarized them and sent them back. Only to be informed they "they got them past the deadline". They sent out a new set of forms, I filled them out, signed and notarized them, sent them out the same day, only for them to say they were returned too late. Unfortunately, now I have to sell the house due to their "strict policies" that only seem to benefit them. If you have to do business with this company, I sure wish you the best.

      I called and asked for a hard copy of my interest paid for 2025 for my taxes, as I do not have a home computer or a printer. The representative on the phone would not request it, just kept saying go on the website. I am requesting a hard copy to be mailed to my address. Please.

      PHH Mortgage has been extremely difficult to communicate with. Every week I call two or three times, and every single time I receive different and often incorrect information from their representatives. It feels like no one is on the same page, and the lack of knowledge is alarming. Their communication is so unclear and inconsistent that I genuinely feel stressed and overwhelmed every time I have to speak with them. I’m a single mom with young children, and their mistakes and misinformation make me constantly worry about my home and my stability. It’s very concerning that a mortgage company takes serious issues so lightly and continues giving customers the wrong information. No one should have to fight this hard just to get accurate answers about their own mortgage. The level of confusion and disorganization at PHH Mortgage is unacceptable.
