On-Bill Repayment program updates


As of February 1, On-Bill Repayment program enhancements took effect. Based on trade ally feedback, these changes are designed to streamline the participation process and increase customer participation.

Existing Homes has updated on-bill repayment workflows for each financing offer to reflect these program enhancements. IT has also updated Craft3’s Participation Agreement to Invoice Summary, which has been simplified and no longer requires the homeowner’s signature. These workflows are a helpful reference for a step-by-step participation process. Contact your account manager for a copy.
