What is the purpose of the Mississippi mortgage lender or broker bond?

Mississippi S.A.F.E Mortgage Act Section 81-18-11 requires individuals file a $25,000 surety bond to be licensed as a mortgage broker and a $150,000 surety bond to be licensed as a mortgage lender. This bond requirement specifically benefits the state and its citizens who suffer any damage or loss as a result of a licensed mortgage professional's breach of contract or other legal violation. The state's official form is titled “SURETY BOND: Mississippi S.A.F.E. Mortgage Act State of Mississippi” but is more commonly known as the “mortgage broker bond” or “mortgage lender bond.” 

What does the Mississippi mortgage lender or broker bond cover?

By filing one of these electronic surety bonds, you agree to provide mortgage service according to state law. If you fail to do so, your issuing surety company will pay valid claims to the state or other harmed individuals up to your full bond amount, which you must reimburse. 

Who regulates Mississippi mortgage brokers and lenders?

The Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance enforces licensing requirements for brokers and lenders in the state. You can contact the Department by calling 1(800)844-2499 or by emailing [email protected].  

The Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance requires this bond for state mortgage lender or broker licensing. If you work as a mortgage professional in other states, we also offer mortgage license bonds nationwide.

What is my Mississippi mortgage license bond amount?

The Mississippi S.A.F.E Mortgage Act sets the mortgage broker bond amount at $25,000 and the mortgage lender bond amount at $150,000.  

How do mortgage brokers and lenders file your bond?

SuretyBonds.com files these electronic surety bonds directly with the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS). As the surety experts, we'll work with you and NMLS to be sure your bond is filed quickly and accurately to meet all Mississippi state licensing requirements. Your emailed surety bond copy is for reference only and won't need to be filed with the NMLS.  

How do I update or change my mortgage broker surety bond? 

If the Department of Banking and Consumer Finance requires your bond or NMLS filing to be updated for any reason, contact your surety company to explain the needed change. The most common changes requested are updating your name, address, or NMLS ID number so your state licensing and NMLS filing information match.
