If Seattle Bank is Servicing Your Mortgage...

If your mortgage loan is currently serviced by Seattle Bank and are finding it difficult to make your payments, we want to provide you with assistance and information regarding resources here and in our community.

We are here to help

If refinancing is not an option because you are already behind in your payments, or if your loan balance exceeds the value of your home, it is possible that you might qualify for a loan modification. For information about the loan modification process, please call Seattle Bank's Loan Servicing Department at our toll free number 1-800-643-6610.

If you find yourself in arrears and facing foreclosure, please call for assistance immediately at 1-800-643-6610 and ask for the Loan Servicing Department.
