Insuranceopedia Explains Loan

Mortgage insurance is a key example of insurance that protects against losses caused by a borrower defaulting on a loan. It is often required by mortgage lenders before approving the loan.

If a borrower has mortgage insurance, it provides coverage in the event of default on loan repayment, reducing the risk for the lender.
