What is a West Virginia mortgage broker, lender, or originator bond? 

West Virginia Code Section 31-17-4 requires mortgage brokers, lenders, and loan originators file a bond with the NMLS during the licensing application process. By filing this bond, the mortgage professional agrees to comply with West Virginia financial regulation. The bond is financial protection for consumers if they face damages as a result of a bonded mortgage broker or lender's noncompliance and/or misconduct. The state's official bond forms are titled the “SURETY BOND West Virginia Mortgage Broker” and “SURETY BOND West Virginia Mortgage Lender” but are more commonly known as the “West Virginia mortgage broker, lender, originator bond.” Although the bond forms are separate for lenders and brokers, they're both filed electronically with the NMLS.
