What it does

Cenlar Capital Corporation is the seller named in Pennymac’s February 2026 agreement to acquire its subservicing business, primarily contracts and mortgage servicing operations.

Scope of the transaction

The announcement expected up to $740 billion of subservicing principal and two million loans, based on the portfolio at that time. It contemplated Cenlar surrendering its bank charter at closing, with Pennymac acquiring the business as a nonbank entity. These are conditional transaction terms, not a finding that the charter surrender occurred.
