What Is a Maryland Mortgage Lender Licensee Bond? 

The Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation (CFR) requires all mortgage lenders to file a surety bond as a part of the state licensing process. Maryland law defines a mortgage lender as any business or person who is a mortgage broker, makes a mortgage loan to any person, or is a mortgage servicer. 

A mortgage lender surety bond ensures mortgage professionals are financially responsible for any losses they cause for clients or the state due to unlawful action. 

How Does a Maryland Mortgage Lender Bond Work?

 A Maryland mortgage lender bond is an agreement between three parties: 

  1. Principal: The mortgage lender filing the bond
  2. Surety: The surety company issuing the bond 
  3. Obligee: The Maryland CFR requiring the bond

These bonds require annual renewal. We’ll contact you during the renewal period to ensure you maintain active coverage. To cancel the bond, the principal or surety must send 60-day’s written notice to the obligee.
