Client Portal: Troubleshooting

 I forgot my username.

Your username is available in the “welcome” email from clientportal@northmarq.com. If that automated email is no longer available, please send an email to clientportal@northmarq.com to request your username.

 I forgot my password.

1. On the Client Portal login screen, click “Forgot your Password?” 
2. Enter your username. 
3. Click “Reset Password.” 

An email will be sent to the address associated with your username with a link to reset the password.

 Why am I not receiving my password reset email?

There are two reasons you may have trouble receiving the password reset email: 
1. Make sure you use the correct username on the Password Reset screen. If Northmarq created your account, be sure to use the username included in the welcome email (and note that it’s not just an email address). If you created your own account, enter the username you selected during the registration process. 
• If you can’t remember your username or no longer have the welcome email, please contact us at clientportal@northmarq.com. 
2. If you are using the correct username, your email provider may be marking the password reset email as spam or blocking it. Check your Junk or Spam folder for an email from “Northmarq Client Portal.” We recommend adding clientportal@northmarq.com to your safe senders list to ensure you receive future emails. 
• If you use Outlook you can mark Northmarq as a safe contact by going to Home > Junk > Junk Email Options > Safe Senders > Add. Enter ClientPortal@Northmarq.com in the field and click “OK.” Click “Apply” and then “OK” to close the Junk Email Options window.

 Why don’t I see any loans (or a specific loan) on my home page?

Your account has not yet been associated with any active loans or the specific loan in the Client Portal. Use the “Request Loan Access” feature to identify the loans(s), and your request will be routed to your Client Portal Loan Administrator for review. Watch this quick tutorial on how to request loan access or follow these steps in the User Guide.

 I need help using the "Upload Files" feature.

The “Upload Files” feature available on the home page of the Client Portal allows you to upload one or more documents to a single loan or to multiple loans. Instructions are available in the upload tool. Step-by-step instructions are also available here in the User Guide.

 Do I need to use a particular browser for the Client Portal?

We recommend using the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, or Safari when browsing the Client Portal. Internet Explorer is not compatible with some of the features on the site.

Client Portal: Loan Administrator Information

 What does a Loan Administrator do?

The Loan Administrator in the Client Portal grants or removes access for approved users to view loan information and documents on a loan-by-loan basis. Any requests sent through the “Request Loan Access” feature will automatically alert the loan’s designated administrator(s) to review the request.

 Who is my Loan Administrator?

Generally, the default Loan Administrator will be the person who signed the loan documents, or the person who receives automatic notices regarding requests for financial data from Northmarq’s servicing department. More than one person can be designated a Loan Administrator for a company. For privacy reasons, we cannot readily disclose who specific Loan Administrators are. If you have submitted a loan access request that has not been addressed, please contact clientportal@northmarq.com for assistance.

 How do I review/approve loan access requests?

Watch this video for a quick tutorial on how to navigate Loan Administrator rights in the Client Portal or follow the steps in the User Guide

NOTE: Only users designated as Loan Administrators will have the ability to review or approve loan access requests. 

If you are a Loan Administrator and receive an email notification with an access request for a specific loan, please log into your Client Portal account. There are two ways to review/approve access: 
• Option 1: You will see the request for access to the loan on the Home page under Share Access. Click the link to take you to the Loan Access Request Case. Here you can choose to either grant Borrower/Admin or Read/Write access, or Deny Access to the loan. 
• Option 2: Click on a loan and then click on the “Grant Access” tab. Here you will see a list of users connected to that loan and their current permission status. To adjust an individual’s permissions, click on the corresponding button to the right of his/her name. 

Permission Levels: 
The “Borrower/Admin” option gives that person the ability to change permissions for other users. “Read/Write” gives the person view-only access to information within the system. Choose the “None” option to remove access to the loan for each person.

 How can I add another user to a loan?

When viewing a specific loan, you can use the “Add” function on the Grant Access tab to search for other Client Portal users to grant them access to a particular loan. If you are unable to find a particular user when you search using the “Add” option, please follow these steps: 

1. Confirm with the individual that they have created and activated a Client Portal account (i.e., they have established a unique password and accepted the terms and conditions). 
2. Ask that person to complete the “Request Loan Access” form and submit it. 
3. Review your “Share Access” case requests in the Client Portal (using the list on your Client Portal home page) and grant access using the available options. 

Once you have completed this process on one loan, you should be able to search for the individual using the “Add” function and add them as a user on other loans for which you are a Loan Administrator.

Payment Information

 Where do I send my payment?

An escrow analysis is performed at least once per year, usually after the payment of the first installment of taxes. Changes may also occur should insurance premiums increase or decrease substantially. If tax and insurance impounds are not collected with the monthly principal and interest, then it may be the result of a scheduled payment change. Please review the terms of your Promissory Note to determine if there are scheduled payment changes. If you have additional questions, please contact us at clientportal@northmarq.com.
