Celebrating 60 Years & Ringing in a New Chapter with NASDAQ

We believe every milestone matters, especially when it’s 60 years of service and growth. That’s why our parent company, SecurityNational Financial Corporation Nasdaq:SNFCA, rang in the opening bell at Nasdaq on September 24, 2025, as part of our 60th anniversary celebration.

This moment was more than a symbolic gesture. It reflects our past, present, and future, and underscores what it means for you, our clients and partners, in the mortgage world.

A Legacy Built on Trust and Diversification

Since our roots began in 1965 with SecurityNational Life Insurance, we’ve evolved and expanded into multiple segments—life insurance, funeral services, and mortgage origination.  While some companies focus on a single line of business, we see strength in diversity—and that strength carries over into how we approach mortgage lending.

By being part of a broader, stable institution, SecurityNational Mortgage leverages shared values and long-term vision. It’s not just about closing deals; it’s about building communities, enabling homeowners, and doing so in a way that sustains through market cycles.

What Ringing the Bell Means for Our Mortgage Business

  • Public visibility and accountability

Being listed and participating in Nasdaq’s bell-ringing tradition puts us in the public eye. That means greater transparency, more corporate governance rigor, and a platform to share our story—especially in lending. It reinforces that our mortgage division operates under the same high standards and scrutiny as our sister segments.

  • Growth momentum

The bell ringing isn’t just a celebration—it’s a signal. We’re poised for continued expansion in mortgage originations, bringing innovation, improved services, and deeper market penetration. As we mark 60 years, our mortgage division will continue evolving to serve more borrowers across more geographies.

  • Confidence for our clients and partners

When clients choose SecurityNational Mortgage, they’re backed by a company that’s stable, visible, and committed. That adds a layer of confidence: you’re not just dealing with a mortgage office—you’re working with a credible institution with decades of track record.

What This Means for You — Homebuyers, Realtors, and Partners

  • More access, more consistency

From first-time homebuyers to experienced investors, our mission remains the same: to deliver competitive mortgage solutions, transparent processes, and dependable service regardless of market conditions.

  • Stronger partnership for realtors

Realtors and referral partners benefit from aligning with a brand that holds public accountability and long-term presence. We’re investing in people, systems, and outreach—so you can confidently refer clients and know they’re getting top-tier support.

  • Innovation and flexibility

As part of a larger financial enterprise, we can invest in mortgage technology, underwriting tools, and customer experience enhancements. You’ll see us roll out better online tools, faster underwriting, and smarter communications in the months ahead.

Looking Forward

Ringing the Nasdaq Opening Bell is both a celebration and a promise: 60 years behind us, and many decades ahead. For SecurityNational Mortgage, this isn’t just about optics—it’s about recommitting to the mission of homeownership.

If you’re thinking about buying, building, refinancing, or referring clients, now is a great time to reach out. Let’s harness the strength of our legacy and bring your home goals into sharper focus.

Here’s to the next chapter—together.

What is a Net Promoter Score?

Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a widely recognized metric that gauges customer loyalty and satisfaction. It is calculated based on responses to a single question: “How likely would you recommend SNMC to your friends or family or to use SNMC again yourself?” Customers are categorized into three groups:

  • Promoters (9-10): Loyal customers who are likely to recommend your services.
  • Passives (7-8): Satisfied but unenthusiastic customers who may switch to competitors.
  • Detractors (0-6): Unhappy customers who can damage your brand through negative word-of-mouth.

The NPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters.

Benchmarking 

NPS averages for the mortgage lending industry typically hover around 60-70. Our score of 84 not only surpasses this benchmark but also highlights our dedication to excellence in customer service.

SecurityNational Mortgage Implements a Fully Paperless Closing Process Using DocMagic’s Total eClose™ Platform

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SecurityNational Mortgage Implements a Fully Paperless Closing Process Using DocMagic’s Total eClose™ Platform

Lender achieves full eClosing benefits, faster and more reliably, as the result of DocMagic’s consultative implementation process, single-source platform, and intuitive UI

Hundreds of SecurityNational Mortgage guests were on their feet in elation as Sloan Urry made the winning pass just in front of their suite on the front straightway Saturday on a sunny afternoon just outside of his home town in Utah.

TORRANCE, Calif. and SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec. 19, 2018DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant and document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, and SecurityNational Mortgage Corporation (SNMC), an independent national mortgage banker, jointly announced that they successfully rolled out DocMagic’s comprehensive Total eClose™ platform.

Since rolling out Total eClose in September, SNMC has reduced borrower time at the closing table to as little as 15 minutes, and become one of the first national lenders to offer a true eClosing solution that involves no paper whatsoever. It has dramatically sped up the closing process, ensuring accuracy and loan quality, and delivering newfound efficiencies for borrowers, notaries and settlement providers. Total eClose enables SNMC’s customers to preview documents prior to closing, eSign all documents, and complete both remote and in-person eNotarizations. As a result, SNMC is now positioned to capture more market share, reduce operational costs, expedite closing times and elevate the borrower experience.

“Our goal was to perfect a completely digital eClosing process, not to be just another lender offering a basic hybrid closing,” said Steve Johnson, president of SNMC. “Achieving our goal required a powerful end-to-end technology, a perfectly executed seamless implementation, and an intuitive interface that everyone-staff, settlement service providers and borrowers-could use immediately, without a steep learning curve. We got that and more with DocMagic. Plus, the DocMagic implementation team was with us all the way. We never had to worry about a thing.”

The two companies approached the project as partners to ensure swift adoption and a quick understanding of the new workflow-driven eClosing process for both SNMC’s staff and customers. DocMagic worked hand-in-hand with the lender, leveraging its vast eMortgage expertise to help sculpt a unique strategy and a successful go-to-market launch. Unlike other document and eClosing solution providers, DocMagic takes an ultra hands-on approach to implementations, from developing the project roadmap, to training all parties-such as staff, title agents and notaries-to synchronized testing of each facet of the Total eClose platform.

“Our implementation teams function like expert consultants-we work very closely with each client, guiding them literally every step of the way,” said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. “There is a huge number of moving pieces in an eClosing solution. As a single source solution, we have intricate knowledge of every one of them, so there are none of the issues that plague other providers-not only immediately after the implementation, but over the long haul as well. In contrast, lenders who

choose incomplete or cobbled-together eClosing technologies may have to hit the restart button within 12 to 18 months and search for a comprehensive solution.”

DocMagic is a recognized eClosing pioneer, and has been a part of virtually every state-first eClosing in the U.S.

“We’re pleased to work with companies like SecurityNational Mortgage that truly understand the value of implementing a 100 percent paperless eClosing process,” said Iannitti. “They have taken a leadership position in facilitating eClosings and are ready for an inflow of new business that will be conducted very efficiently.”

DocMagic’s comprehensive suite of eSolutions and eServices also includes SMARTDocs, eNotes capability, eVault technology, eWarehouse lending, and even loan servicing.

DocMagic, Inc. is the leading provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions for the mortgage industry.
