Industry Information

PROGRESS in Lending Association
Progress is defined as “a forward or onward movement” and “a gradual betterment.” No industry, lending or otherwise, can exist and/or thrive without continued progress. The PROGRESS in Lending Association was formed to provide thought leadership to lending professionals about how to create process efficiencies through a combination of sound business strategies and technology. The ideas that come out of this association will help lenders and servicers move toward a more trusted and transparent mortgage process. To this end, PROGRESS in Lending Association puts out a daily e-letter, a twice monthly video newscast and monthly publication. These deliverables are all free and are made up of content contributed by mortgage professionals that live and breathe the mortgage industry each and every day. These contributors want to share their ideas on how to bring about faster industry recovery. PROGRESS in Lending Association encourages everyone to join this movement and be heard.
Mortgage Insurance
PMI
For more than 35 years, PMI has combined its risk management expertise and financial strength to serve the evolving needs of our customers.
PMI's insurance products support the mortgage finance system by providing protection to lenders and investors in the event of borrower default. By protecting mortgage lenders and investors from credit losses, PMI helps to ensure mortgages are available to qualified homebuyers. When a qualified borrower cannot make a 20 percent down payment on a home, lenders will often permit a smaller down payment and purchase mortgage insurance.
PMI applies leading research, analytics, and pricing principles to manage risk concentration, and loss mitigation expertise to assist lenders and borrowers faced with possible foreclosures. PMI was the first mortgage insurer to join the HOPE NOW Alliance, works closely with many nonprofit counseling entities, and plays an active role in supporting borrower education events nationwide.
