New Mexico Mortgage Loan Company Bond and Mortgage Loan Originator Bond

New Mexico Mortgage Loan Company Bond and Mortgage Loan Originator Bond

The Regulation and Licensing Department, Financial Institutions Division manages and regulates the mortgage industry within the State of New Mexico. 

To qualify for and maintain a mortgage license, a surety bond is required by the Division—either a Mortgage Loan Company Bond or a Mortgage Loan Originator Bond.

QUOTE

Both the Mortgage Loan Company Bond and the Mortgage Loan Originator Bond are provided by Jet Insurance Company to act as a safeguard to the Division for the licensure of the applicant, and if necessary, to act as a means of restitution to any party that has been financially damaged by the licensee's transgressions. 

What Is the Lowest Price for a Mortgage Loan Company or Originator Bond?

According to the Division, the required limits for the Mortgage Loan Company Bond and the Mortgage Loan Originator Bond are based on the total dollar amount of mortgage loans conducted by the licensee in their previous year of business.

At Jet, prices for surety bonds are a small fraction of the bond’s limit and are based on a soft credit check of the applicant. For example, let’s say you are applying for a $50,000 Mortgage Loan Company Bond, Jet’s rates start at $188 for a one-year term or you can choose our payment plan of $19 a month. 

Additional bond limits and Jet’s preferred tier rates can be found in the price chart below.

New Mexico Mortgage Loan Company Bond and Mortgage Loan Originator Bond Details

The New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department, Financial Institutions Division utilizes the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System and Registry (NMLS) for the administration of mortgage loan company and originator licenses, as well as the filing of surety bonds. So once you purchase either the Mortgage Loan Company Bond or the Mortgage Loan Originator Bond with Jet, it must then be filed with the NMLS. 

Jet can handle filing your bond for you! We just need you to grant us permission to act as your designated surety company with the NMLS (Jet Insurance Company NAIC #16379). If you are unsure how to do this, the NMLS breaks it down within the Electronic Surety Bond for Licensees webpage.
