What is a Colorado Supervised Lender License Bond?

Intending to make supervised loans in Colorado? If so, you need this bond!

Before any person can become a supervised lender in the State of Colorado, the Attorney General, by the Colorado Uniform Consumer Credit Code, requires the said person to post a surety bond.

 

A supervised lender is someone who engages in the business of:

  • Making supervised loans or directly collects payment of supervised loans
  • Taking assignments to collect payments of supervised loans directly

 

What is the bond amount?

The bond amount will be based on the volume of supervised loans made and taken by assignment in the prior calendar year in Colorado.

 

Those who have excellent credit scores may be eligible to pay a low bond premium or just 1% of the bond amount.
