Loan Company Bonds

Loan company bonds are required for businesses that service and issue loans directly to their customers. This is different than loan brokers, who connect borrowers to lenders, which requires its own bond. Loan companies are defined by the actual handling of funds, which creates a specific type of risk.

How Much Does a Loan Company Bond Cost?

The price of the bond is typically a small percentage of the bond limit. Bond limits vary by state depending on who requires and regulates the bond, typically based on the volume of loans originated by the company or the amount of locations the business operates. A higher loan volume or greater number of locations will lead to a higher limit to cover the increased risk. Some states have a standardized limit, while some use a tiered structure. Below is a chart of the limits in Wisconsin determined by number of locations, as well as their corresponding 1-Year and monthly rates.

Number of LocationsLimit1-Year Price Monthly Price
1$5000$100$10
2$10,000$100$10
3$15,000$150$15
10+$50,000$500$50

For each additional location, the bond limit increases by $5,000, and is capped at $50,000 for ten locations or more.

What is the Purpose a Loan Company Bond?

These bonds, also called loan lender bonds, are for companies that lend funds directly to their customers. This creates the opportunity for financial damage to the customer if the company acts improperly. Below is a list of activities that could potentially lead to a claim on this bond:

The bond acts as a financial guarantee to the state regulator requiring the bond that you will act in accordance with the laws of your business license, and will handle borrowers' funds properly. In the event that there is fraudulent activity or mishandling of funds, the bond can act as financial restitution to the damaged party.

Who Needs This Bond?

Depending on your state, the exact qualifications for who needs this bond may change. Typically, when applying for your license, the state regulator will let you know if you need to have a surety bond before you can conduct business. Overall, businesses who issue payday loans, installment loans, or any other forms of consumer credit will need to be bonded for the protection of the customers.
