What are Wyoming finance & mortgage broker bonds?

Finance and mortgage 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 set forth in the Wyoming Banking Statutes.

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.

How much do Wyoming finance & mortgage broker bonds cost?

The Wyoming Department of Audit Division of Banking requires mortgage loan brokers to post a $25,000 surety bond as part of the licensing process.

The required bond costs for other finance bonds in Wyoming are as follows:

  • Wyoming Supervised Lender License Bond: $25,000 and upwards
  • Wyoming Collection Agency License Bond: $10,000 and upwards
  • Wyoming Money Transmitter Bond: Up to $500,000

The surety company issuing the bond determines your premium rate, which is the percentage of the total bond amount you pay as the premium. Premium rates for Wyoming finance and mortgage broker bonds typically cost between 1% and 5% of the total bond amount.

During the application process, the surety company evaluates your personal credit, financial statements, industry experience, and licensing history. Applicants with good credit generally receive the lowest rates, however, bad credit will not prevent you from securing a Wyoming finance bond. EZSurety still offers competitive rates to individuals with low credit scores or other financial issues.
