Why do I need this bond?
By posting a mortgage lender and broker surety bond in Wyoming, principals (lenders and brokers) pledge to perform their obligations with respect to transactions governed under the Wyoming Residential Mortgage Practices Act (W.S. 40-23-101 through 40-23-133) and any related rules and regulations. Prohibited acts under this bond include:
- paying or working with any person who is not licensed to do mortgage lending/brokering in the state
- delaying the close of any residential loan for the sake of increasing interest, cost or fees
- accepting any fees at the closing of any property that weren’t disclosed beforehand
- engaging in misrepresentation
- making false promises with the goal to influence any person
These bonds protect harmed parties from financial loss that results from the principal’s unlawful and unethical business practices.

What’s the fine print?
Wyoming mortgage broker and lender bonds remain continuous until released by the Commissioner of Banking. The surety can reduce or terminate its liability under the bond by giving written notice of termination to the principal and to the commissioner via certified mail at least 30 days prior to the effective date of termination.
If the bond is not terminated by the commissioner or the surety, the liability of the surety expires 2 years after the date of the surrender, revocation or expiration of the principal’s license, whichever happens first.
