Apply for Mortgage Assistance

Take action by following the steps below to apply for mortgage and home equity loan assistance.

How to Apply for Assistance

Take action. Start with these steps below:

Step 1: Download and complete a Mortgage Assistance Application.

If you’re unable to print the forms, please call us at 1-800-724-1633 and we’ll mail them to you.

Please note:

  • If your loan is backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), you are not currently required to submit a Mortgage Assistance Application to be reviewed for mortgage assistance options. Please give us a call and we will work with you to determine which options are best suited for you.
  • If your loan is backed by the Veterans Administration (VA), you only need to submit a Mortgage Assistance Application if your loan is due for less than 2 monthly mortgage payments and you are looking to sell your property. If you are looking to participate in a home retention mortgage assistance option, please contact us as soon as possible.

Not sure who your loan is backed by? Use one of the tools below to look up your loan.

If your loan doesn't appear on either of these tools, use either Loan Application #1 if you have an FHA-insured loan, or Loan Application #3 if you do not have an FHA-insured loan.

All Repayment Assistance options are not available with all products, and there is no guarantee that you will receive Repayment Assistance. You are obligated to make all future payments as they come due, even while M&T Bank is evaluating a request for Repayment Assistance. Additionally, M&T Bank will continue normal servicing of your loan up to, and including, referral to foreclosure and repossession during the time it is reviewing your request for Repayment Assistance. Credit reporting will continue, and, if applicable, your loan will be reported as delinquent until your loan is brought fully current. It is also important to note that the request for Repayment Assistance does not waive any remedies available to M&T under the terms of your loan documents. You may be required to pay additional fees/and or costs depending on the type of loan and solution you qualify for.
M&T Bank may be considered a debt collector. M&T Bank is attempting to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. To the extent your original obligation was discharged, or is subject to an automatic stay of bankruptcy under Title 11 of the United States Code, this correspondence is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an attempt to collect a debt or to impose personal liability for such obligation. However, M&T Bank retains rights under its security instrument, including the right to foreclose its lien.
