  • Applicable to all PMI programs, as well as Desktop Underwriter® or Loan Prospector®“Eligible” loans.
  • Acceptance of your own underwriting guidelines, upon review and approval by PMI.


Access easy-to-use resources to see our most current guidelines, review how to avoid appraisal-related issues, compare quotes on up to 5 PMI rate plans, and much more: PDQ Dashboard.

Submitting your PDQ application is easy electronically, using e-PMI® or ediMXL formats. Applications can also be faxed to PMI’s National Underwriting Center.

Instant Alerts help PDQ lenders meet our guidelines.

Our e-PMI and EDI Origination systems* generate instant alerts as soon as you submit information that falls outside acceptable parameters for one or more of the key loan characteristics driving eligibility.

So you'll know exactly the reason why – right away.
