What Is a Mortgage Broker Bond?

A mortgage broker bond (also called an MLO bond, mortgage lender bond, or mortgage originator bond) is a state‑required surety bond that guarantees mortgage professionals will follow all lending laws, operate ethically, and protect consumers.

This bond protects the public from:

  • Fraudulent lending practices
  • Misrepresentation
  • Failure to comply with state or federal mortgage laws
  • Financial harm to borrowers

If you’re applying for or renewing a mortgage broker or MLO license, your state requires this bond before issuing the license.

Mortgage Broker Bond Amount & Cost

Bond amounts vary by state and license type, often ranging from $10,000 to $150,000.

Your cost depends on:

  • Bond amount
  • Credit score
  • Business structure
  • Loan volume (in some states)

Most applicants qualify instantly with competitive rates.
