In 2020 we helped over 250,000 borrowers become homeowners. Our achievements are due to the hard work and dedication of our employees.”

In the methodology used by the San Francisco Business Times, firms were ranked by weighted scores that took into account the percent change in revenue between 2018 and 2020 and the actual value difference in revenue during the same time period.

“In 2020, we expanded our customer franchise, delivered record NIW volume, grew our high-quality insured portfolio and balance sheet and delivered significant profitability, all while adjusting to the impact of COVID throughout the year,” Merkle said.
