The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) is a federal law that dictates how lenders establish and maintain escrow accounts. Some states also have escrow account regulations for homeowners in the state. If your state does not have its own regulations, your escrow account is governed by RESPA. Learn more in our Escrow Education Center.

You may make an escrow deposit of any amount by mail. If your account is current, you can also make an escrow deposit through our pay by phone service or on our website. Fees may apply when making an escrow deposit by phone.

If the account is current and not in bankruptcy at the time of the analysis and the surplus is less than $49.00, we use the surplus to lower the monthly escrow payment. If the surplus is $49.00 or more, we refund the surplus. We will send a check within 30 days of completing the escrow analysis.

If the account is in bankruptcy or is not current at the time of the analysis, the surplus stays in the escrow account until the next escrow analysis. Learn more in our Escrow Education Center.

After we make any required escrow disbursements, we will refund the remaining escrow balance. We will send the refund check to the mailing address on file. Please allow 20 business days to receive the refund check. Learn more in our Escrow Education Center.
