The Connecticut Mortgage Correspondent Lender Bond is required by the Connecticut Commissioner of Banking.  According to Connecticut General Statute 36a-485 (2012), a “mortgage correspondent lender” is a person engaged in the business of making residential mortgage loans in such person’s own name. The loans are not held by such person for more than 90 days and are funded by another person through a warehouse agreement, table funding agreement, or some similar agreement. In order to be a licensed as a Mortgage Correspondent Lender in the State of Connecticut, the applicant must file a surety bond with the Connecticut Commissioner of Banking.
