What are New York 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 Banking Law of the State of New York

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.
