This was formerly named Genworth. It is one of the duopoly, along with government owned Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), that provides mortgage insurance for home purchasers who cannot pay a 20% deposit. While Genworth only guarantees 90% of the amount, unlike CMHC’s 100%, it competes on speed and flexibility of service and by providing transparency on mortgage insurance pricing.
