Nationwide Inks Pact With Cops

The Fraternal Order of Police has signed an agreement with Nationwide Advantage Mortgage Co., Des Moines, Iowa, for the latter to provide mortgage services to the group's over 320,000 members across the country.Chuck Canterbury, FOP president, said, "law enforcement officers are an especially financially savvy, information-conscious group. Access to home purchasing programs is very important to our members because many of them have limited time to apply for a mortgage and ensue the homebuying process." NAMC offers approvals within 10 minutes. Its trademark is "speed, simplicity and savings." The company is a subsidiary of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co., Columbus, Ohio.
