Please ensure your insurance agent/carrier has the correct mortgagee clause and loan number (10-digit servicing loan number) listed on your policy.
In line with the mortgagee clause for all loans serviced by Movement, we must receive a copy of your new Declaration Pages as well.
These can be:
Faxed to 833-856-3571
Uploaded to www.IHaveInsurance.com/Movement
Or mailed to the following address:
Movement Mortgage

PO Box 29411
Phoenix, AZ 85038-9411
If your loan is escrowed for insurance, you can request that we remit funds on your new policy from your escrow account by contacting our team directly.
However, because this disbursement is unexpected, it may cause an escrow shortage in the future. To avoid this, you are welcome to pay for the new policy out of pocket or, if paid from escrow, consider depositing the refund from your initial carrier back into your escrow account.

Your first billing statement will arrive in the mail within approximately 3 weeks of closing your loan.

WHY WAS MY PAYMENT LATE WHEN IT WAS DEDUCTED FROM MY BANK ACCOUNT ON THE 5TH?
If you are using online bill pay through your bank, this process can take 1- 3 weeks, as most bill pay providers print and mail a physical check to the payee.
To avoid this delay and to ensure timely receipt and application of your funds, we recommend using our free autopay program or making a one-time ACH payment directly to Movement Mortgage at www.movement.com/paymymortgage
IF I WANT TO MAIL A PAYMENT, WHERE SHOULD I SEND IT?
While we encourage all our customers to enroll in autopay or make ACH payments directly through our website, we understand that some clients prefer to mail checks to us.
If this is you, please mail your check using the coupon from your monthly Mortgage Statement.
Please ensure that your 10-digit loan number is written on the check before mailing
COVID-19 HAS AFFECTED MY ABILITY TO MAKE MY MONTHLY PAYMENT. HOW DO I LEARN MORE ABOUT MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE OPTIONS?
We're happy to discuss current assistance options that may be available to you!
Please reach out to our Servicing team directly to discuss: 855-979-1084 (M-F 8:30 am – 7 pm EST).
DOES MY LOAN NUMBER CHANGE AFTER CLOSING?
Yes, your new 10-digit loan number (beginning with “301”) can be located on your First Payment Letter and your Welcome Letter.
Both are contained inside your closing package, as well as on your monthly billing statement.
WHY DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT I NOT MAKE PAYMENTS THROUGH MY BANK'S BILL PAY PROGRAM?
We get it! You pay many bills using your bank's bill pay program and find it very convenient. However, there are two main reasons why we recommend enrolling directly through our portal.
First, many banks print a check and mail it to us; this is not an automatic process. We are unable to accommodate for lost checks and mail delays. If a check is lost in the mail, it can lead to late fees and negative credit reporting.
Second, most of our clients escrow their taxes and insurance. Each year, the account is analyzed to ensure it is properly funded for projected disbursements in the next 12 months. Oftentimes, taxes and/or insurance will increase and therefore lead to an increase in the monthly payment.
Should you not take the required action to log in to your bank's bill pay site and update the payment amount, the payment sent will be short and not applied to your loan as short payments are not accepted.
This can lead to late fees and your credit being impacted.
The most common payment issues we see often stem from bill pay. This is why we encourage our customers to enroll in autopay at www.movement.com/paymymortgage for the most reliable and stress-free mortgage experience!

WHAT IS AN ESCROW ACCOUNT?
An escrow account is used by homeowners and mortgage servicers to ensure timely and adequate payments can be made on your insurance and real estate taxes.
Because property tax and home insurance rates can change over time, so can your monthly escrow payment.
An analysis of the escrow account is performed annually to ensure you are paying the correct amount monthly.
WHAT IS AN ESCROW ANALYSIS?
An escrow analysis is a review of your escrow account to ensure enough funds are collected each month to cover any upcoming installments of your insurance premium(s) and/or property taxes.
AM I ABLE TO REMOVE MY ESCROW ACCOUNT AND PAY TAXES AND/OR INSURANCE ON MY OWN?
If your loan is below 80% LTV (loan-to-value) of the original value at closing, there may be options to have your escrow account removed.
Only Conventional and certain Government (VA/USDA) loans are eligible.
Please give us a call at 855-979-1084 or email servicing@movement.com to see if your loan is eligible.
AM I ABLE TO ESTABLISH AN ESCROW ACCOUNT AFTER CLOSING?
Yes! We are happy to help you with this and to manage the disbursement of your taxes and insurance going forward.
Please reach out to Customer Service directly 855-979-1084 or servicing@movement.com to begin this process.
HOW IS MY ESCROW PAYMENT CALCULATED?
Your annual tax amount, hazard insurance premium, and mortgage insurance (if applicable) are divided by 12 months. That sum determines the amount that needs to be deposited into the escrow account each month.
This amount is then combined with the monthly principal and interest portion of your payment to equal your required monthly mortgage payment.
WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS TO PAY THE ESCROW SHORTAGE?
To make things as easy as possible for you, any determined escrow shortages are automatically spread over 12 months and included in your next 12 mortgage payments.
However, some homeowners prefer to make a lump sum payment for the shortage to help minimize the impact on their monthly payments.
If you prefer this route, a lump sum payment for the total shortage can be made by phone with a customer service representative at 855-979-1084 or online at www.Movement.com/PayMyMortgage:
Log into your account at www.movement.com/paymymortgage.
Click on the ‘Payment' box at the top left.
Enter your exact shortage amount in the ‘Additional Escrow’ section and complete your payment
IF I PAY MY ESCROW SHORTAGE IN FULL, WILL IT KEEP THE PAYMENT THE SAME?
Paying the shortage in full does not necessarily lower the payment back to the original amount. If your annual tax or insurance premium(s) has increased, the base escrow payment must also increase to ensure the account is properly funded over the next 12 months.
HOW CAN I AVOID AN ESCROW SHORTAGE?
While it can be difficult to plan for annual increases to tax rates or insurance premiums, the easiest controllable is to avoid unplanned disbursements from the escrow account.
Unplanned disbursements usually occur when there is a midterm carrier change to the homeowner’s insurance and the premium is paid from the escrow account without an offsetting deposit being made.
Unplanned disbursements can also occur when requests are made by the homeowner to pay supplemental tax bills.
As a rule of thumb, supplemental tax bills should always be paid directly by the homeowner to minimize any potential escrow shortages.
I HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING MY INSURANCE. WHO CAN I CONTACT?

HOW DO I QUALIFY FOR AND REQUEST THE REMOVAL OF PMI FROM MY LOAN?
PMI Removal depends on several factors:
Type of Loan (Required to be a Conventional loan) Investor (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc.) Time elapsed since the closing of your loan If you have completed any material improvements to the property (can waive the standard 2-year seasoning requirement that Investors must have) If you are using original (value from closing) or current (based on new appraisal) value Other factors may apply We encourage you to reach out to our team 855-979-1084 or servicing@movement.com directly to discuss further.
WHEN DOES MY PMI AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATE?
This is a commonly misunderstood component of mortgage servicing. On Conventional loans, per investor (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) guidelines, your Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is required to terminate on the date the principal balance of your loan is first scheduled to reach 78% of the original value of the property.
This can be different from the date your loan balance reaches this point if you pay more toward the principal balance ahead of what your amortization schedule suggests.
WHERE COULD I VIEW THE FULL SET OF INVESTOR GUIDELINES THAT OUTLINE THE PMI REMOVAL REVIEW/QUALIFICATION PROCESS OF MY CONVENTIONAL LOAN?
I'D LIKE TO PAY A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF PRINCIPAL ON MY LOAN AND RE-AMORTIZE MY PAYMENTS. CAN I DO THIS WITH MY MOVEMENT SERVICED LOAN? IF SO, HOW DO I BEGIN THE PROCESS?
This is commonly referred to as a Recast. Certain requirements can apply, such as, but not limited to:
- Loan must be conventional and owned by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac
- Servicing must be performed by Movement
- Loan must be in good standing with no past due payments or in bankruptcy
- One on-time payment received at original loan terms
- Loan must be due for the next month’s payment at time of application
- Principal curtailment must equal or exceed $10,000
- Fee: $500 Your loan term and interest rate cannot change but recasting your loan can be a fantastic way to lower your monthly payments!
Please reach out to your servicing directly 855-979-1084 or servicing@movement.com to discuss more details.
AM I ABLE TO RECAST MY LOAN AND HAVE PMI REMOVED WITHIN THE SAME PROCESS?
Possibly, yes! This can be a GREAT way to both lower your amortized payment amount and remove your Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).
If you qualify and successfully complete the Recast process that results in your loan's outstanding principal balance dropping to or below 80% of the original value of your home, and we're able to confirm the value of your home has remained stable or increased since closing, PMI will be removed.
For a purchase loan, the value from closing is the lower of the appraised value or sales price. If your loan was a refinance, it is simply the value used during the qualification process.
WHAT IS A 1098 INTEREST STATEMENT?
The 1098 Interest Statement details all interest, taxes and any other tax-deductible amounts paid as part of your mortgage in a calendar year.
HOW DO I OBTAIN A COPY OF MY 1098?
Movement will provide a copy of your 1098 statement along with your January Mortgage Statement each year.
If you receive your mortgage statements in the mail, this 1098 will be included. If you are enrolled in e-statements, you will be able to access your 1098 along with your January Mortgage Statement online.
You can also access your 1098 from your portal at any time by clicking on ‘Account Management at the top and then selecting ‘Document Center'.
