What to expect from our Servicing Team
While many lenders outsource or use external servicing for their Bridge loans, Kiavi’s own in-house loan Servicing Team works to ensure that Kiavi customers receive a consistent, fast and easy experience even after their bridge loan closes.
1. Welcome email
Upon closing your loan, you’ll receive a “Welcome" email from our US-based team providing essential loan details, including:
- Your first payment date
- Bank account information for draws and ACH transactions
- Your loan’s maturity date
- Contact information for starting the draw process
- Basic details regarding loan maturity
2. Visibility and support
You’ll have access to your loan details, including due and maturity dates, all within your borrower portal. Our team is ready to assist with any inquiries, managing payments, getting payoff information, or any other loan-related questions.
3. Proactive loan management
Most Kiavi borrowers pay off their loans well before maturity and move on to their next project. You can request your payoff statement directly from your borrower portal. If your loan is approaching maturity, a Default Prevention Specialist will be assigned to assist you with loan exit strategies or requesting an extension.

In Arrears…payments on all bridge loans are collected in arrears, meaning the August payment would satisfy daily interest accrued throughout the month of July.

Yes.
If you have an IAD (Interest as Drawn) loan, Kiavi only begins charging interest for rehab funds when your draw amount(s) are taken. Any Construction Draw taken on your bridge loan will increase the Unpaid Principal Balance, increasing your monthly mortgage payment the following month.
Our bridge loans are not escrowed for the payment of tax or insurance premiums. You would be responsible for payment of any of these coming due during the term of your loan.
If you need to update Kiavi with new insurance information, you can simply email insurance@kiavi.com. or send documents directly to Processing at insdocs8201@oscis.com.
Unfortunately, our loan documents require your monthly payment to be drafted on the 1st of every month via ACH set up at the loan closing.
Your borrower portal will also show the current bank account being used for your monthly loan payments and provide further details on the documents required to update the bank account if necessary.
When a payment is missed, a Default Prevention Specialist will proactively contact you. Simply respond to that outreach or you may email us at servicing@kiavi.com to set up another payment attempt.
Note: Kiavi has a 15 day grace period on missed payments. If the payment is not satisfied by the end of that period, a 5% late fee will be assessed. Furthermore, the loan will roll 30 days delinquent if the payment is still outstanding by the last business day of the month. Please note the grace period will end the business day prior if the 15th falls on the weekend and Kiavi can only accept payment via wire transfer the last week of the month.
Note: All extensions are subject to approval and are typically offered for 3 months. A fee of 1% of the Unpaid Balance of the loan must be paid via wire transfer within five business days of approval.
All extensions are evaluated case-by-case, contingent upon factors such as project status, payment history, and how you intend to exit the loan. Your assigned Default Prevention Specialist will detail specific items/information needed for consideration.
If you expect the remaining renovations to exceed one 90-day term, we often recommend refinancing into a fresh bridge loan to provide sufficient time to rehab and exit.
>Note: To be eligible for a second extension, your properties must be confirmed 100% complete AND your exit strategy underway.
If your loan is not paid in full or extended by the last day of our grace period, default interest will begin to accrue per diem and is also applied retroactively to the 2nd of the month. Daily default interest accrues in addition to the regular interest amount, not instead of. If an extension is approved past our grace period, all accrued default interest must be paid with the extension fee. Please note if the 10th falls on the weekend of your loan’s maturity month, the grace period will end the business day prior.
Kiavi loans must be paid in full or extended by the last business day of the maturity month to avoid delinquency. After our 10-day grace period, all accrued default interest must be paid with the final wire. If you are concerned about closing delays, we recommend requesting our 3-month extension option—ideally before the end of our grace period to avoid default interest—to provide sufficient time to close and avoid the risk of delinquency.
