Who Is Required To Provide a Surety Bond for an MLO?

In most cases, being a mortgage loan originator requires you are covered by a surety bond.

But this does not mean you have to purchase the surety bond yourself.

If you're confused about what is a mortgage surety bond, in the last section, I'll answer this for you.

What is a Mortgage Loan Originator?

For the sake of surety bonds, mortgage loan originators help customers find the best mortgage for their goals and finances.

And in most cases as a mortgage loan originator, you are an employee or a bank or mortgage loan broker.

As an employee, again in most cases, the broker will have one surety bond to cover all the MLOs employees.

FDIC backed financial institutions typically are never required to purchase a surety bond.

This means as an individual mortgage loan originator, you do not have to purchase a surety bond.

Examples of state bonds that do this include:

State bonds where the MLO may have to purchase their own bond include:

In most cases you only need to purchase a bond as an individual if you work for yourself, independently.
