How Does a Loan Servicer Bond Work?
A third-party loan servicer bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: You, the loan servicer filing the bond
- Obligee: The Rhode Island DBR’s Division of Banking requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding all applicable provisions of Rhode Island General Laws § 19-14.
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.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your third-party loan servicer bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
