To request an escrow account, email us at CustomerCare@MortgageFamily.com with a copy of your current annual insurance premium notice and/or tax statements. Please specify in your email if you would like to set up escrow for only taxes, insurance, or both. This will help us review your request appropriately.
Next Steps:
When we receive your request, we review the account to determine eligibility to set up an escrow account. If the request is approved, we will send you an initial escrow disclosure letter. This letter gives a breakdown of the initial deposit required to set up the account and instructions to submit the deposit. When we receive your deposit, we will create the escrow account and add the escrow payment to your regular monthly payment. If your request for an escrow account is denied, we will send a denial letter with details.
Please allow 14 business days to process the request.
Please note if you have taxes/insurance due within 60 days of your escrow set up request, please continue to pay the amount due.

You are responsible for cancelling your previous insurance policy. If you receive a refund from the previous carrier, send it to us to apply to your escrow account.
You can upload the insurance policy information to our MyCoverage website here or email it to MortgageFamily@MyCoverageInfo.com. You can also fax the information to 1-937-525-4210.
If the property is not in an "A" or "V" zone, you may use elevation information to file a Letter Of Map Amendment or Revision (LOMA/LOMR) with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). While FEMA reviews the LOMA/LOMR, flood insurance is still required. If FEMA approves the LOMA/LOMR, you may not be required to maintain flood insurance or your premium may be reduced.
For all customers, the quarterly and year-end statements show the amount of taxes we have paid on your behalf.
You can also find the property tax amount on your most recent escrow analysis, or contact your local tax authority.

Imposter Scams
These are usually phone calls from individuals claiming to be Onity Mortgage employees demanding payments in the form of a pre-paid debit/gift cards to cover trial loan modification payments, escrow shortages and/or to avoid foreclosure. These imposters may be calling from what appears to be a legitimate Onity Mortgage phone number. This is called spoofing.
Onity Mortgage would never require payment via a pre-paid debit/gift card. Onity Mortgage would never request a Western Union payment to be sent to an individual. Onity Mortgage would never ask for personal information over the phone, unless you initiated the contact and we are verifying your identify.
If you ever doubt the legitimacy of a call from Onity Mortgage, especially if payment is demanded, hang up and call us directly.
If you think you may have been a victim of an imposter scam, please contact us and then file a report with your local police department. You can also contact the Federal Trade Commission.
Loan Modification Scams
These are schemes where “Foreclosure Rescue Companies” take your money, often by making a false promise of saving you from foreclosure.
Onity Mortgage does not charge up-front fees for a loan modification. You should never sign over title to your property or sign papers you don’t understand. Only make payments to your mortgage loan service provider.
If you think you have been a victim of a loan modification scam, please contact us. You can also file a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling 1-855-411-CFPB (2372).

Requirements can vary, so the best way to get the right information for your account is to contact us. We'll be happy to walk you through the steps.
Automatic Termination
If you’re required to carry PMI, we’ll cancel it automatically when your loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is scheduled to reach 78%. The LTV ratio is the difference between the loan amount and the original market value of the home.
LTV Example: If you borrow $88,000 to buy a house valued at $100,000, your loan-to-value ratio is 88%. ($88,000 /$100,000 = 0.88, or 88%).
Based on the original home value, we’ll project the date when your LTV will reach 78%, and we’ll plan to cancel your PMI on that date.
Early Cancellation
You can request early cancellation of PMI before the automatic cancellation date. Each mortgage investor has different requirements for canceling PMI early.
- In most cases, the property must reach at least an 80% LTV.
- If you obtained your loan less than two years ago, your investor may require a list of substantial improvements to evaluate the PMI cancellation request. You must have a description of the improvement, the date it occurred, and the associated cost.
- A home valuation may be required to determine your equity amount. The cost of the valuation will be your responsibility. We will let you know if a valuation is required along with the costs and steps to have the valuation completed.
- You must be current on your loan payments. You cannot have been more than 30 days past due in the last year or more than 60 days past due in the last two years.
Requirements can vary, so the best way to get the right information for your account is to contact us. We'll be happy to walk you through the steps.
- Logging in to your account and sending us a secure message

The most common types of mortgage insurance are private mortgage insurance (PMI) and insurance through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), called a mortgage insurance premium (MIP).
If you are required to carry mortgage insurance, the insurance may be canceled when the equity in your home reaches a certain percentage.
PMI may also be required to refinance if your equity is less than 20% of the value of your home.
Equity is the amount you have paid toward the loan principal through the down payment, your monthly payments, and additional payments to principal. Increases to your house’s market value can also increase your equity.
You can find your account number by:
- Logging into your online account (once registered)
- Checking your Service Transfer Notice
- Reviewing your first monthly statement
