    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
MBIA, Inc.
A private corporation that guarantees principal and interest payments on debt securities and some asset-backed securities. Founded in 1974 upon the merger of several casualty insurance companies, MBIA originally specialized in guaranteeing municipal bonds. It has since expanded to other investment vehicles such as corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Clients are issuers who pay a fee to MBIA in exchange for the insurance. MBIA insurance typically guarantees the highest possible credit rating and lowers the overall cost of the issue.
