National MI Launches Lender-Paid Mortgage Insurance Program With
imortgage
EMERYVILLE, Calif., March 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- National Mortgage
Insurance Corporation (National MI), a subsidiary of NMI Holdings,
Inc., (NASDAQ: NMIH) has launched a new lender-paid mortgage insurance
(LPMI) program with imortgage, one of the country's leading lenders.
National MI's LPMI program with imortgage is backed by what National
MI believes is an innovative delegated assurance review process.
imortgage has approved National MI as a provider of private mortgage
insurance. Through this relationship, imortgage gains access to a
new, well-capitalized source of private mortgage insurance with
enhanced confidence of coverage and rescission relief available
through National MI's delegated underwriting review process.
National MI's LPMI product enables imortgage to provide an innovative
solution for borrowers, according to Dan Hanson, imortgage executive
vice president. "Homeownership remains the cornerstone of the American
dream," Hanson said. "By teaming up with National MI to provide
mortgage options for borrowers with lower down payments, we are
creating additional opportunities for homeownership. In addition,
National MI gives us the confidence of knowing that our loans are
protected by very high underwriting standards."
National MI has introduced a delegated assurance review process for
its delegated customers that provides lenders with underwriting
protection starting from Day 1, and rescission relief for every
insured loan when a borrower has made timely payments for the first 12
months. "We're very pleased to work with imortgage, one of the
fastest-growing and most well-respected retail lenders in the industry
today," said Brad Shuster, president and CEO of National MI. "We share
their focus on maintaining high-quality underwriting standards,
providing excellent service with integrity, and look forward to a long
and successful relationship in the coming years."
National MI recently announced enhancements to its terms of coverage.
National MI SafeGuardSM, the company's signature product, provides
lenders with rescission relief after 12 months of timely payments on
every loan, for both delegated and non-delegated loans. "We believe
National MI's enhanced terms of coverage and master policy give
lenders greater assurance that claims will be paid, and expect that
such coverage will also significantly reduce repurchase risk," Shuster
said. "When you couple our innovative delegated assurance review with
our SafeGuard coverage terms, we believe lenders will see the benefit
of our comprehensive suite of mortgage insurance solutions."
National MI's terms of coverage are specified in its Mortgage Guaranty
Insurance Master Policy, which may be located on the Company's website
at www.nationalmi.com.
