Loan Servicing with DMI

Attention Berkshire Bank Mortgage and Home Equity Loan customers: 

If you are making a payment through the website, please use Google Chrome

You may have received a letter from DMI concerning your mortgage or home equity loan in deferral. If you have questions or concerns related to this letter, please call 1-866-397-5370 and they will assist you.

Recently you should have received a letter about enhancements we are making to your Berkshire Bank Mortgage and/or Home Equity Loan to provide you with expanded tools and customer support through a partnership with Dovenmuehle Mortgage, Inc. (DMI).  DMI is one of the leading Mortgage sub-servicers in the country and will begin handling the servicing of your Berkshire Bank Mortgage and/or Home Equity Loan on our behalf beginning November 1, 2021.  While DMI will provide an enhanced level of customer support and improved digital servicing options, your Mortgage and/or Home Equity Loan will continue to be held by Berkshire Bank.  

Please continue reading below for more important information on payments and other steps you may need to take to ensure a smooth transition. As a reminder:
