What Happens to My Mortgage If My Bank Fails?

Posted on 2:51 PM | By Smart Wealth Advisory | In

With banks failing at a pretty steady clip (at least one every Friday since June), you may be wondering what would happen if your bank failed.

For some, they already know what happens, especially if they had uninsured deposits and scrambled down to their local branch for an old-timey bank run.

But what about the mortgage, couldn’t that just disappear too, like your hard-earned savings? And I mean disappear in a good way…

Unfortunately, no. If the bank or mortgage lender holding your mortgage fails, not much will change.

The full balance won’t become due immediately. You won’t get a free house, you won’t be foreclosed on, and the mortgage rate won’t drop to zero.

In fact, you may be surprised to find out that the originating bank or lender (the one that took your loan application) doesn’t even hold your mortgage anymore.

That’s right; it could have been sold off to another loan servicer years ago who has been collecting payments from you ever since, in which case nothing would change.

But if the originating bank still held your mortgage at the time of failure, you would receive documentation from the new owner with instructions on how to manage it going forward, and likely an accompanying grace period.

The end result would be sending that monthly payment to a new address and having to setup your payment details with the new bank.

I know, it’s not that exciting; but if your bank does fail, be sure to keep a very close eye on your payments and watch out for scammers looking to take advantage.

Ensure that the new owner of the mortgage is indeed the owner, and not a scam artist.
