Mortgage Assistance
Get Help with Payment Challenges
If you are an existing East West Bank loan customer who cannot afford your monthly mortgage payments and wish to avoid foreclosure, you may be eligible for a loan workout or modification.
We determine eligibility for a loan workout on single family loans (1 to 4 units) on a case-by-case basis. Among other things, we will consider the value of your property and your ability (based on your current income) to make monthly mortgage payments in accordance with the workout.
We have several workout options that may be available to you. These may include a Repayment Plan, Forbearance Agreement, or Loan Modification. If you are interested in exploring any of these options, you will need to provide us with certain financial information, including the following:
Although you requested a loan workout, we must continue with our collection efforts. Once we receive all of the financial information requested, we will contact you to discuss available options.
