WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Onity Group Inc. (NYSE: ONIT) (“Onity” or the “Company”) today announced that its subsidiary, Onity Mortgage Corporation (“Onity Mortgage”), has completed the previously announced transaction with Finance of America Reverse LLC (“FAR”), effective June 30, 2026.
The Company sold reverse mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) comprised of approximately 20,000 Ginnie Mae home equity conversion mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance of $5.2 billion as of May 31, 2026. Onity Mortgage will subservice the reverse MSRs sold to FAR under a three-year subservicing agreement.

Glen A. Messina, Onity Group Chair, President and CEO, said “We are pleased to complete this transaction with FAR which repositions our role in the reverse mortgage market. This strategic transaction establishes a significant subservicing relationship with FAR, simplifies our business, and enables increased focus on more substantial growth and earnings opportunities.
