WASHINGTON – NAFCU Services Corporation today announced the addition of Genworth Financial to its Preferred Partner Program for mortgage insurance for credit union members.
Genworth provides credit unions with mortgage insurance which helps members get into homes sooner, in a safer and smarter way. Genworth’s credit union team is made up of credit union veterans with industry market knowledge across several functions (marketing, risk, products), and Genworth also offers highly competitive rates and guidelines.
“Mortgage insurance can help credit union members qualify for a home loan with a smaller down payment, enabling first-time and low-to moderate income families to purchase a home safely and stay in it for the long term,” said Leslie McDow, credit union segment leader at Genworth.
Genworth offers a wide range of products that differentiate it in the marketplace. One such offering is job loss protection. When this product is selected, the job loss feature will cover several mortgage payments during a temporary period of involuntary unemployment, all at no added cost to the member or the credit union. This arrangement provides the member additional peace of mind during the home buying process. Another unique offering available for qualifying credit union members is “Counseling Saver” – a discount on the cost of mortgage insurance for members who receive classroom homebuyer education.
“This is one of those win-win solutions that meet the needs of both credit unions and their members,” said David C. Frankil, president, NAFCU Services. “Mortgage insurance makes homes more affordable for members, and also provides a measure of protection for the credit union.”
