Illinois Mortgage Broker Bonds

Tweet

Mortgage Brokers in the state of Illinois are regulated by the Illinois Bureau of Residential Finance, Division of Banking. Anyone wishing to act as a Mortgage Broker, Mortgage Banker, or Loan Originator is required to be licensed. They are supervised under the Residential Mortgage Broker Act.

All Mortgage Bankers and Brokers are required to pass an exam in order to be licensed. Loan Originators are also required to pass the exam. Mortgage Brokers do not have any educational requirements at this time but Loan Originators are required to have 6 credit hours of continuing education prior to completing the exam. Illinois is a tougher state to get licensed in mainly due to the high price of being licensed which is more than double of most states. The Illinois Surety Bond Requirement is quite low at $20,000. However, they do have a minimum net worth requirement for Mortgage Brokers of $35,000.
