Louisiana Loan Broker’s Bond

The Louisiana Loan Broker’s Bond is required by the Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions, in the amount of $25,000 for the year.

A loan broker, as defined by the state, is any person who for compensation or the expectation of compensation, obtains or offers to obtain a consumer loan or federally related mortgage loan from a third party. The state requires that all loan brokers must be licensed.

The surety bond is one of the requirements in order to be licensed. The bond must be issued by a company that is licensed to operate in Louisiana. The bond is in place to help any persons who suffer any damage or loss as a result of the loan broker’s breach of contract or by any violation of law, and for the attorney general seeking additional relief under LA R.S.51:1405.
