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.

60 Years of Security National Success

As part of the Security National family of companies, we at SecurityNational Mortgage Company (SNMC) are thrilled to share the remarkable milestone reached by our sister company, Security National Life. This year, they are celebrating 60 years of serving families. This achievement not only signifies their longevity but also mirrors our shared commitment to stability, growth, and excellence.

A Legacy of Excellence

Security National began in 1965 with the inception of the Security National Life Insurance Company. Starting with a modest sum of $543,000 in assets, housed in a small rented home in Salt Lake City, Utah, Security National has consistently grown into a robust industry leader across various service sectors.

Over the past six decades, Security Nationals’ expansion has been fueled by new sales and investment opportunities, acquisitions of life insurance companies, funeral homes, and cemeteries, along with the formation and evolution of our mortgage company. This journey of growth and resilience reflects our unwavering commitment and dedication to serving families and enabling meaningful careers.

In celebration of its 60th anniversary, SNL has created a special logo that encapsulates its history, stability, and unwavering commitment to excellence. This logo (seen below) will be used throughout 2025 to highlight SNL’s history and commitment to customers and internal teams.
