What is a Minnesota mortgage originator, servicer, or payment provider bond?

Minnesota Revised Statutes 58.08 requires individuals file a minimum $100,000 surety bond amount with their state residential mortgage originator license or residential mortgage servicer license application. These bonds cover all mortgage loan originators or servicers who work as employees or independent agents under licensee applicants and are specifically used to recover expenses, fines, and fees incurred by borrowers as a result of a licensee's noncompliance with Minnesota statutes. 

Minnesota Revised Statutes 332.30 requires individuals file a minimum $100,000 surety bond amount with their state accelerated mortgage payment provider license. This bond prohibits a licensed accelerated mortgage payment provider from committing fraud and requires them to faithfully conform to and abide by the accelerated mortgage payment agreements they make with Minnesota residents.

Why is the Minnesota residential mortgage loan bond required?

You must purchase and file a surety bond to be licensed as a Minnesota residential mortgage originator, mortgage servicer, or accelerated mortgage payment provider. By filing your Minnesota surety bond, you agree to comply with Minnesota statutes while providing financial services as a mortgage professional in the state. If you fail to do so, your issuing surety company will pay valid claims to harmed individuals up to your full surety bond amount, which you must reimburse.
