What Newrez payment options are available

Newrez is a mortgage servicer that handles loan payments for homeowners whose mortgages it owns or services. Newrez offers several ways to make your monthly payment: online through their website, by phone, by mail, or through automatic bank transfers. The method you choose depends on how quickly you need the payment processed and whether you want to set it and forget it.

Newrez does not charge a fee for most standard payment methods. However, if you use a third-party payment processor or pay by credit card, that processor may charge you a fee — Newrez itself does not collect it, but you will see it added to your transaction. Automatic payments (also called autopay or recurring payments) are free and may support your payment reaches Newrez by the due date each month without you having to remember.

Paying online through the Newrez website or portal

The fastest way to pay Newrez is through their online payment portal. Log in to your Newrez account using your loan number and the password you created when you registered. Once logged in, select "Make a Payment" and enter the amount you want to pay. You can pay the full monthly payment, a partial amount, or an extra payment toward principal.

Online payments typically post to your account within one to two business days. Newrez's website will show you the exact posting date when you submit the payment. If you are paying close to the due date, check the calendar on their site — some servicers have a cutoff time (often 5 p.m. Eastern) after which same-day posting is not may provide. Paying several days early removes this risk.

If you do not have an online account yet, you can create one on Newrez's website using your loan number and property address. You will need to verify your identity, which usually takes a few minutes. Once your account is active, you can view your payment history, see your loan balance, and set up automatic payments.

Setting up automatic payments from your bank account

Automatic payments are the most reliable method because they remove the chance of forgetting or miscalculating. To set up autopay with Newrez, log into your online account, go to the autopay section, and provide your bank account number and routing number. You choose the payment date each month — most homeowners pick a date shortly after they receive their paycheck.

Newrez will debit your account on the date you select. The payment posts within one to two business days, so if you choose the 1st of the month, the money leaves your bank account around that date and clears Newrez's system by the 2nd or 3rd. This timing gives you a small buffer if your paycheck is delayed, but you should still choose a date you know your funds will be available.

You can change or cancel your automatic payment at any time through your online account. If you need to skip a month or adjust the amount, log in and modify the settings before the payment date. Newrez will send you a confirmation email each month showing the payment was scheduled.

Paying by phone or mail

If you prefer not to pay online, you can call Newrez's payment line to make a payment by phone. You will need your loan number and bank account information ready. Phone payments are processed the same day you call and typically post within one to two business days. Newrez's phone line is available during business hours — check your mortgage statement or their website for the current number, as it may vary by region.

Mailing a check is also an option, though it is slower. Write your loan number on the check, include a payment coupon if you have one (found on your monthly statement), and mail it to the address shown on your statement. Checks typically take five to seven business days to arrive and clear, so mail your payment at least 10 days before the due date to avoid a late fee. If you do not have a payment coupon, write your loan number clearly on the check so Newrez can match it to your account.

Understanding payment posting dates and due dates

Your mortgage payment is due on a specific date each month — usually the 1st. However, most servicers, including Newrez, give a grace period of 10 to 15 days. If you pay by the 15th, you will not be charged a late fee. After that date, Newrez may report the late payment to credit bureaus and begin charging late fees.

The date your payment posts (when Newrez receives and records it) is different from the date you make the payment. An online payment made on the 10th might not post until the 12th. A check mailed on the 10th might not post until the 18th or 20th. For this reason, if you are close to the due date, use online or phone payment rather than mail. If you are paying by mail, send it at least 10 days early.

Your monthly statement shows your due date and the grace period. If you are unsure when your payment must arrive, call Newrez or check your online account — do not guess, because a late payment can affect your credit score and trigger late fees.

What to do if you cannot make a full payment

If you cannot pay your full mortgage payment by the due date, contact Newrez before the payment is late. Newrez offers several options depending on your situation. You may be able to make a partial payment now and pay the rest later in the month. Some borrowers are offered a loan modification, which changes the terms of the loan to lower the monthly payment. Others may be placed in a forbearance plan, which temporarily reduces or pauses payments while you get back on your feet.

These options are not automatic — you must reach out to Newrez's loss mitigation department to discuss them. The sooner you call, the more options you may have. If you wait until you are 30 days late, your choices narrow and the damage to your credit score increases. Newrez's contact information is on your statement or available by searching "Newrez loss mitigation" online.
