A mortgage broker bond is a three-party contract between a mortgage broker, the broker’s client and a surety company.

Key Highlights

  • Mortgage broker bonds are needed to protect consumers from fraud and other unethical practices by mortgage brokers.
  • The bond ensures that consumers will be repaid if their mortgage broker fails to fulfill their obligations, such as providing accurate information about a loan, closing the loan on time or using the borrower's funds for the intended purpose.

Mortgage Broker Bond FAQs

Most people who are seeking to be licensed as a mortgage broker.

It depends on many factors, but generally the cost is based on a percentage of the bond amount, which is the maximum amount of coverage that the bond provides. Credit score, bond amount and the state in which the broker operates are also factors.

Most states require you to obtain a mortgage broker bond before you can be licensed as a mortgage broker. Without one, you could face legal repercussions or fines. You may need to have a bond for each state in which you are licensed.

Mortgage broker bonds serve as a crucial protection for consumers, lenders and regulators in the mortgage industry. By requiring brokers to obtain these bonds, authorities ensure that they are financially responsible and capable of operating within the legal and ethical framework of the industry.
