More about Genworth insurance
Genworth directs homeowners to purchase private mortgage insurance via Enact, a partner company. Sold through lenders, private mortgage insurance enables borrowers to qualify for home mortgages when they have down payments of less than 20%. The insurance protects the lender in case the borrower defaults on the loan. Borrowers pay for the insurance as part of their closing costs or monthly mortgage payments.
