Errors and Omissions Insurance for Mortgage Bankers and Brokers
Axis Insurance provides customized, comprehensive Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance programs for both mortgage bankers and brokers. Mortgage bankers represent a bank or financial institution that provides individuals with the funds for the loans. Mortgage brokers do not use their own funds and serve as intermediaries between the lender and borrower. According to Homesite Mortgage, brokers have access to multiple mortgage companies and more access to different types of loans. They also can accept a loan application and quote rates and fees to the applicant.
Mortgage Bankers E&O Insurance
There is a great deal involved in processing a loan with the potential for a claim or litigation if a customer emerges dissatisfied. Axis offers Mortgage Bankers E&O insurance, also known as Professional Liability insurance, that is tailored to individual risks – whether you offer multiple professional services or focus on one area. E&O coverage is designed to protect you from mistakes that can occur during the entire loan process – from the origination through the closing of a loan. With an E&O policy, you receive defense and indemnity coverage, saving you the cost of defending and settling allegations of negligence, even if the allegations are meritless.

Mortgage Brokers E&O Insurance
Mortgage brokers throughout the entire loan process must complete multiple steps. Any error or omission (whether real or perceived) made by a mortgage broker during that process could give rise to an E&O claim. Our Mortgage Brokers E&O insurance solution offers customized coverage to protect you in the event of a lawsuit alleging negligence in providing or failing to provide your professional services. These types of lawsuits could result in costly litigation and the possibility of having to pay significant damages. It’s important to note that E&O coverage is often confused with General Liability insurance. However, General Liability policies do not typically cover the professional services your firm provides.
