Hi winemakr!

Welcome to forums!

As your mortgage has been transferred to a new bank, it will have it's own criteria, rules and regulations. Your present insurance policy might not satisfy the requirements of the new lender. So, they have asked for extra payments. You might take out a new insurance policy for your property.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

The guidelines are set by fema for flood insurance so any bank has a right to change the guidelines and raise payments any time they want?

They will be able to increase the payments but it should remain within the FEMA guidelines.
