What is a Missouri Mortgage Loan Broker Bond?

The services that mortgage loan brokers provide help borrowers get the most beneficial deal possible.

 

They also save the borrowers plenty of precious time. We share with you the value of this benefit.

 

A Missouri Mortgage Loan Broker Bond is a financial guarantee that the mortgage loan broker license applicant must submit to the Missouri Division of Finance.

 

As part of the surety bond condition, the Missouri Division of Finance will be assured that the licensed mortgage loan brokers will lawfully perform their obligations to their borrowers. If they fail to do so, they will be required to compensate the said borrowers through the surety bond.

 

The surety bond requirement complies with Section 443.849 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.

 

What is the Mortgage Loan Broker Bond amount?

The bond amount will be on a case-by-case basis and will be determined by the Director of Finance. It will be based on a number of loans originated by the mortgage loan broker.

  • $50,000 – minimum bond amount
  • $100,000 – maximum bond amount

Those who have excellent credit scores will be eligible to pay for a very low bond premium or just 1% of the bond’s amount!
