See Our Story
We’re building on a culture of innovation that spans more than 40 years.

A Tradition of Seeing Our Industry Differently

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Our roots were planted in 1977 with the founding of our predecessor company, Commonwealth Mortgage Assurance Company (CMAC). In 1992, CMAC went public, then merged with Amerin in 1999 to form Radian.

Since then, we have strategically acquired additional businesses to support the entire mortgage and real estate services lifecycle. As we’ve built our business, we’ve kept our eye on our ultimate purpose: making sustainable homeownership possible for more people, and, with the help of Radian team members, we remain committed to removing barriers to homebuying.

We’ve also invested in the technologies that enable more confident decisions and simplify work processes.

We storm into the Big Data age with the acquisition of Five Bridges Advisors, LLC. This strengthens our ability to reduce risk, using data analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning and traditional econometric techniques.

Today, Radian delivers on the promise of innovation with solutions across the mortgage and real estate services lifecycle. We even enable savvy customers to buy title insurance on their own, with transparent pricing and a simple application process.
