In Brief: Insurance Applications Via America Online

SAN FRANCISCO - An agreement between PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. and Independence Mortgage Corp. of America will enable the Florida-based lender to transmit mortgage insurance applications by electronic mail over America Online.

PMI said the link marks the first announced transmission of mortgage insurance applications over a commercial on-line service.

When PMI receives the applications, it automatically transmits insurance certificates by facsimile via its own Goldrush Express.

All lenders approved for the company's PDQ program will now be able to transmit over America Online.
