National MI And Ellie Mae Join Together To Offer National MI Mortgage Insurance Directly Through Ellie Mae's Encompass®

EMERYVILLE, Calif., June 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- National Mortgage Insurance Corporation (National MI), a subsidiary of NMI Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ: NMIH) is directly integrated with Ellie Mae's Encompass® mortgage management solution.

The integration means that mortgage lenders who use Encompass as their loan origination system (LOS) are able to order National MI's mortgage insurance directly within the application in a simple and time-saving process, according to Pete Pannes, chief sales officer of National MI.

"National MI offers its customers the ability to efficiently order private mortgage insurance through Ellie Mae's Encompass solution," Pannes said. "The integration streamlines the process for our customers who use Encompass as their loan origination system by allowing them to order National MI mortgage insurance without having to leave the application. Additionally, the document upload and two-way document exchange feature give our customers a more efficient way to trade information in support of our delegated review process.  Ellie Mae is a leading LOS provider in the country, and we believe this integration will be a benefit to our many mutual customers."

"Ordering mortgage insurance is a vital part of the mortgage process, as is providing seamless access throughout that process, which is why we are pleased to offer our clients the ability to order National MI's products efficiently and securely in Encompass," said Joe Tyrrell, Ellie Mae senior vice president of client management and business development.

"The integration between Ellie Mae's Encompass and National MI is good news for us," said Candice Nicodin, senior vice president of the Bank of South Carolina. "This allows us to order National MI directly within Encompass, rather than using multiple systems, which simplifies our origination process."

Through its signature product, National MI SafeGuard^SM, National MI is currently the only private mortgage insurer to provide lenders with rescission relief on every loan after 12 months of timely payments, for both delegated and non-delegated loans.
