The Connecticut Mortgage Lender Bond is required by the State of Connecticut Banking Commissioner.
According to Connecticut General Statute 36a-485 (2012), a “mortgage lender” is a person engaged in the business of making residential mortgage loans in such person’s own name utilizing such person’s own funds or by funding loans through a warehouse agreement, table funding agreement, or similar agreement. In order to be a licensed as a Mortgage Lender in the State of Connecticut, the applicant must file a surety bond with the Connecticut Commissioner of Banking.
