MBIA, Inc.

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.
MBIA, Inc.
A private corporation that provides financial guarantees and investment management products and services. MBIA was formed as a consortium of five casualty insurance companies in 1974 to guarantee principal and interest payments on municipal debt. It has since expanded its scope to guarantee structured asset-backed and mortgage-backed transactions, corporate bonds, and obligations of financial institutions. Borrowers pay MBIA a fee and, in return, issue debt that receives a higher rating and carries a lower interest rate.
