Get to know what this surety bond is for and how to get one fast!

Mortgage brokers are required to register with the New York State Department of Financial Services to solicit, process, place, or negotiate mortgage loans for their clients.

 

An important requirement for an application for registration is a surety bond!

 

A surety bond is required for all mortgage broker registrants to ensure that the said registrant will provide its services in accordance with the laws and rules that govern mortgage brokers in the State of New York.

 

Along with the aforementioned condition, the surety bond will also cover the reimbursement of overdue obligations of the mortgage broker such as examination costs and unpaid penalties in case of insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, or revocation of its registration.

 

What is the Mortgage Broker Bond amount?

The bond amount will depend on the mortgage broker’s annual Volume of Operations Report (“VOOR”).
