What is a Loan Broker Bond?
The North Carolina Department of Insurance requires every loan broker to procure a surety bond before he or she can assist or obtain a third-party loan for any person.
The purpose of the surety bond is to ensure that the loan broker will faithfully perform his or her duties in accordance with the relevant statutes, rules, and regulations.
Some of these includes:
- That every loan brokerage contract will be in writing

- That the loan broker will provide a disclosure statement in the form of a written document to the person he or she is entering into a contract with
- File two copies of the disclosure statement with the Secretary of State
The Obligee of the surety bond will have the right to take action on the surety bond if the loan broker commits misconduct.
This is to compensate any rightful beneficiary who has been harmed by the loan broker’s wrongful acts.
This requirement is mandated by Article 20 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
