What is an Alabama Mortgage Broker Bond?

Learn all about this licensure requirement today!

Let’s cut through the confusion.

 

We cannot help you negotiate the terms of a mortgage loan, nor process a mortgage loan application for a borrower.

 

However, we can help you lawfully do all those by acquiring a license through this surety bond!

 

You, as a mortgage broker license applicant, are required to submit a surety bond along with your application. The surety bond will act as an assurance that you, as a licensed mortgage broker, will perform your obligations as a middleman between a lender and a borrower in a lawful manner.

 

The surety bond requirement is in line with Section 5-25-5 of the Code of Alabama and is enforced by the State Banking Department of Alabama.

 

What is the bond amount?

The bond amount will vary. The bond amount will be determined by the State Banking Department of Alabama.

 

Your bond premium, however, will be based on your credit score. If you have an excellent credit score, you may be eligible to pay a very low bond premium or just 1% of the bond amount!
