What is a Hawaii Mortgage Broker Bond?
A Mortgage Broker Bond is a type of surety bond required by the Hawaii Division of Financial Institutions (DFI) for individuals or businesses applying for a mortgage broker license. This bond serves as a financial guarantee that brokers will comply with state laws and protect clients from potential fraudulent or unethical practices. If a broker violates the terms of the bond, claims can be filed, and the bond will cover financial damages up to the bond amount.
Why Do You Need a Mortgage Broker Bond?
The state of Hawaii mandates that all mortgage brokers and loan originators have this bond as part of the licensing process. This requirement provides assurance to your clients and the state that you will conduct your business in an honest and professional manner. If any unethical actions occur, such as mishandling funds or fraudulent activity, the bond provides financial protection to those affected.
How Much Does the Bond Cost?
The cost of a Hawaii Mortgage Broker Bond varies based on several factors, including your credit score and financial history. Typically, the premium you pay will be a small percentage of the bond amount required by the state. For example, for well-qualified applicants, the premium could range between 1% and 5% of the bond amount.
