Get More From Your Data with New CenAccess Update
So that you might manage your portfolio and your relationship with Cenlar more effectively, we have continued to invest in tools and capabilities for your CenAccess client portal.
The latest improvements include:
- A More Powerful Portfolio Dashboard – You now can drill-through to loan level details for escrow loan data from the ‘Escrowed Loans’ tile. Additionally, we have more powerful data visualization, with the ability to filter by Investor ID on the Investor Graph Only. The donut charts for Loan Type, Loan Purpose and Investor have each been changed to bar charts to allow for better ease of use. Similarly, the donut charts across all pages have been changed to bar charts for better visualization of values for Portfolio Statistics, Delinquency/Bankruptcy, Origination Year and States.
- Insurance Information at Your Fingertips – You can now access the www.mycoverageinfo.com/agent URL link directly from the main CenAccess Dashboard, so you can upload insurance policies faster and more quickly review policy information for both active or expired policies, view last payment date information and access other useful resource links.
- Simplified Document Categories – New document categories have been added in the Reference Materials Section, making it easier for you to locate needed documents through more intuitive document categorization.
Look out for regular updates to CenAccess as we work to make it faster, easier and more convenient to do business with us.

Pro Tip: Review Your Homeowner 1098 Files Monthly
We may only be halfway through 2025 but now is a fine time to review your files for any pre-year-end corrections to homeowner 1098s.
As with previous years, the deadline for your organization to submit pre year-end corrections to homeowner 1098s will be sometime in early December. We will communicate the actual date to you when we finalize it.
As a reminder, any client submitting correction requests after the final cutoff date in December will be charged. To avoid this and to keep files up-to-date throughout the year, we recommend—and request—that clients review their files on a monthly basis and send us any corrections at that time.
You can submit any corrections through CCM, using the path General Servicing / Year End / Bulk 1098 Corrections / Pre-Year End Correction.
Thank you for your partnership.
