Michigan Loan Originator and Broker Bonds


What is a Michigan Mortgage Loan Originator or Broker Bond?

Mortgage Broker, Lender, Loan Originator and Servicer Bonds are required as part of the licensing process for Michigan mortgage professionals in order to comply with provisions of the Michigan Mortgage Loan Originator Licensing Act. The bonds ensure that the bonded party will comply with the rules, regulations and guidelines established by the state of Michigan and the Director, Department of Insurance and Financial Services of the State of Michigan. The bond is conditioned upon the principal's compliance with the provision of Michigan Act No. 173, Public Acts of 1987. Furthermore, the bond guarantees payment of monies due to the state or any person by virtue of the provisions of the Act. Typically, mortgage professionals will be required to apply for surety bonds in each state in which they operate and mortgage bond amounts and obligations vary by state. As a leading mortgage bond provider, Surety Bonds Direct is here to help you through this process.
