How Does a Michigan Mortgage Loan Originator Bond Work?
A Michigan mortgage loan originator bond binds three parties in a legal contract:
- Principal: The licensed mortgage originator or MLO sponsor
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond to the principal
- Obligee: The Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS) requiring the bond
If a bonded mortgage originator breaks the contract terms, harmed parties can file a claim to recover damages. The surety company will pay out valid claims up to the full bond amount, which the MLO would need to reimburse.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
Michigan mortgage loan originator bonds require renewal at the end of each term. A SuretyBonds.com representative will contact you with renewal instructions and an invoice to keep your bond active before your term ends.
To cancel a bond, the principal or surety must send 60-day’s written notice to the obligee.
