How Does a New Jersey Student Loan Servicer Act Bond Work?
A student loan servicer act bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: You, the student loan servicer act filing the bond
- Obligee: The New Jersey Commissioner of Banking and Insurance requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of the New Jersey Student Loan Servicer Act.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety.
