Oregon Mortgage Bond Requirements
Oregon requires mortgage brokers and lenders to obtain a mortgage lender license through the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation. All mortgage banker, broker, and lender companies apply through NMLS, and new mortgage lender licensees must submit an electronic surety bond in the minimum amount of $50,000.
Oregon mortgage banker and mortgage broker bond amounts are based on the Oregon residential mortgage loan volume reported in Oregon residential mortgage lending activity reports. Mortgage servicer bond amounts are based on the total unpaid principal balance of Oregon residential mortgage loans as of the applicable completed quarter.
Oregon consumer finance companies offering covered loans of $50,000 or less, or acting as agents, brokers, facilitators, servicers, assignees, purchasers, or refinancers of covered consumer finance or retail installment activity, must apply through NMLS. A consumer finance company does not have a general bond requirement listed for basic licensing, but if the company employs one or more MLOs it must maintain a corporate surety bond through NMLS.

Oregon Mortgage Bond Amounts
Oregon mortgage lender, mortgage banker, and mortgage broker bonds use an origination-volume scale. Oregon mortgage servicer bonds use a servicing unpaid-principal-balance scale.

Oregon also applies the consumer finance licensing requirement to assignments, purchasing, servicing, or refinancing of retail installment contracts from an original retailer, and to agents, brokers, facilitators, and servicers of the company making or purchasing the loans.
Oregon’s public license directory currently lists no general bonding requirement for the basic Consumer Finance Lending license. However, a consumer finance company that employs one or more MLOs must maintain a corporate surety bond through NMLS while it employs MLOs. That bond amount ranges from $50,000 to $200,000 based on the company’s residential mortgage loan activity.

Oregon Independent Contractor Processor Coverage
Oregon DFR states that independent contractor processors and mortgage loan originators are required to obtain MLO licenses. This means an independent contractor processor or underwriter should review the Oregon MLO license process, sponsorship requirements, and any bond coverage tied to the sponsoring mortgage lender licensee.

Oregon Mortgage Bond Comparison
Oregon mortgage and consumer finance bond requirements depend on the license or registration type, Oregon residential mortgage loan origination volume, Oregon residential mortgage loan servicing unpaid principal balance, whether the consumer finance company employs MLOs, and whether MLOs or independent contractor processors are covered through a licensed or registered company.

Questions? Call (855) 516-3348 or email [email protected].
How Are Oregon Mortgage Bonds Filed?
Oregon uses NMLS for company, consumer finance, and loan originator licensing. New Oregon mortgage lender licensees submit an electronic surety bond in the minimum amount of $50,000 through NMLS. Oregon consumer finance applications and renewals are submitted through NMLS. Oregon mortgage servicer bonds are also filed through NMLS and must be renewed or replaced each calendar year.
The bond should match the legal name, license type, registration type, NMLS ID, bond amount, effective date, and Oregon activity used to determine the required amount. Before ordering, confirm whether the bond is for a mortgage lender, mortgage banker, mortgage broker, mortgage servicer, consumer finance company, consumer finance registration, exempt company registration, MLO sponsorship, independent contractor processor coverage, or combined mortgage authority.
NMLS Filing
The Oregon mortgage, consumer finance, or exempt company bond should match the NMLS record, legal name, license or registration type, bond amount, and effective date.
MLO and Processor Coverage
Confirm whether each Oregon MLO or independent contractor processor is covered through the licensed or registered company’s bond and sponsorship record.
Bond Changes
Contact Jet before changing the legal name, DBA, NMLS ID, bond amount, license type, registration type, sponsorship, Oregon loan volume, Oregon servicing UPB, MLO employment, or mortgage authority.
Oregon Mortgage Bond Renewals, Changes, and Cancellations
Renewing Your Bond
Oregon mortgage banker, broker, consumer finance MLO, and servicer bonds may need to be renewed or replaced each calendar year. Consumer finance licenses expire December 31 and renew through NMLS. Confirm the current NMLS record and bond amount before renewal.
Changing the Bond
A bond change may be needed after a legal name, DBA, NMLS ID, license authority, registration authority, MLO sponsorship, MLO employment, Oregon loan volume, or Oregon servicing UPB changes. Oregon rules restrict reducing certain bond amounts before October 1.
Cancelling or Replacing Your Bond
Oregon mortgage banker, broker, mortgage servicer, and consumer finance MLO bonds can remain in effect after the licensee stops the covered activity. Do not cancel a required Oregon bond until replacement coverage is accepted or the license or registration no longer requires coverage.
What Does an Oregon Mortgage License Bond Cover?
An Oregon mortgage license bond is designed to protect consumers who have a right of action under Oregon mortgage lending, mortgage loan originator, mortgage servicing, or consumer finance law. Oregon mortgage banker, broker, mortgage servicer, and consumer finance MLO bond rules allow consumers to file claims against the bond before the bond expires as described by the applicable Oregon rule.
Oregon mortgage banker and broker bond coverage can apply to violations tied to the mortgage banker, mortgage broker, and covered mortgage loan originator activity. Oregon mortgage servicer bonds support compliance with the Mortgage Loan Servicer Practices Act and related Oregon servicing rules. Oregon consumer finance MLO bonds support compliance when consumer finance companies employ MLOs.
A surety bond is different from insurance for the bonded party. If Jet pays a valid claim, the bonded principal is responsible for reimbursing Jet for the amount paid and related costs under the indemnity agreement.
