Buying a Home

About MICA

The Mortgage Insurance Companies of America (MICA) is the trade association representing the private mortgage insurance industry. Its members help loan originators and investors make funds available to home buyers with as little as 3-to-5 percent down – and even less for qualified borrowers – by protecting these institutions from a major portion of the financial risk of default.

MICA provides information on legislative and regulatory issues and represents the industry on Capitol Hill. The association also strives to enhance understanding of the vital role PrivateMI plays in housing Americans.

The private mortgage insurance industry's mission is to help put as many people as possible into homes sooner for less money down, and to ensure that they stay in those homes. By insuring conventional low down payment mortgages, MICA members have made homeownership a reality for more than 25 million families.
