National MI was built to serve the lending community, the housing industry, and ultimately, our residential communities by helping more people realize the dream of responsible home ownership and restoring confidence in the private mortgage insurance industry.

Capacity and Strength

From building a solid financial position with no legacy risk, to our capacity to insure your new business, National MI has financial strength and stability.  The company evolved out of the ashes of a recession, assembling industry experts, innovative products and systems fostered by a straightforward approach, ensuring confidence in the loans that are placed with us.

Financially Strong – Investment-grade rated company with a low risk to capital ratio and complies with Private Mortgage Insurer Eligibility Rules (PMIERs) effective December 31, 2015

Built to Pay Claims

Because we have no legacy business portfolio, National MI has no intention to investigate loans and potentially rescind or deny coverage.  We are willing and able to pay claims. With National MI SafeGuard®, rescission relief is provided after the borrower makes 12 consecutive, timely payments. We have not engaged in any subversive tactics to rescind coverage and will do the right thing for our customers.
