FAQ

  • What does a mortgage banker bond cost?

  • Premiums are based off of a percentage of the bond amount. You can get a general cost range or if you are ready to get bonded, apply and get an online instant approval.

  • From beginning to end, what is the process?

  • Submit an application online, receive an instant quote, sign the indemnity agreement, pay online, and then we will ship the bond out to you.

  • Can I get a bond that will cover me in every state?

  • No. Similar to mortgage broker bonds, you will need a separate bond for every state you operate in that requires the bond. Some states may require multiple bonds of your company and or employees.

  • How do I know if I need a mortgage banker surety bond?

  • You most likely do. Many states require bankers and supervised lenders to obtain a bond before they get their license. However, not all states have the same requirements. Please view our state requirement list below or contact the states in which you wish to operate.

  • Will I get the premium back?

  • No. The premium fee is for the risk the surety undertakes when financially backing your bond. Should you cancel your bond, first year bond premiums are "fully earned". However, after the first year, a bond cancellation can result in a pro-rated returned premium depending on the bond cancellation language.

  • Is a bond needed for each mortgage originator / servicer?

  • It depends on the state. Some states require separate bonds of the company and individual originators within the company. Others only require a bond of the company, not the individuals. View our state requirement list below to see the bond requirements of the states you operate in. If it is not listed, contact the state to determine if there are any new requirements, as they may have changed.

  • Can I get licensed & bonded nationwide?

  • Yes. We are licensed in all 50 states and offer higher surety credit limits than most other bond agencies. This typically means you can get bonds in every state .
