Private mortgage insurance (PMI) is typically sold by private insurance companies. These companies provide PMI to lenders to protect against borrower default, allowing borrowers with lower down payments to secure a mortgage. Major providers of PMI include companies like MGIC, Radian, and Genworth Financial, among others. Homebuyers usually pay for PMI as part of their monthly mortgage payments or as a one-time upfront premium.
