Finance and mortgage loan broker bonds are legally binding agreements between three parties:
The bonds provide a guarantee that licensed finance professionals conduct business in compliance with the regulations like those set forth in the Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) statute Chapter 286.
If the finance professional fails to comply with the regulations, the surety company will pay out financial losses to damaged parties up to the full bond amount. The finance professional is liable to reimburse the surety for any damages paid under the bond.
The Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions requires all mortgage loan brokers to post a $50,000 surety bond.
Mortgage loan originators with an annual loan volume of less than $10 million are required to post a $15,000 surety bond. Loan originators with an annual loan volume of greater than $10 million must post a $20,000 surety bond.
