Click here to apply for your bond

A Nevada Mortgage Banker Bond is a type of surety bond required by the Nevada Division of Mortgage Lending (DML) for all mortgage bankers operating in the state. The licensing is managed by the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS) and the surety bond is filed electronically with the NMLS.  The bond protects consumers from financial losses caused by fraudulent or unethical business practices by mortgage bankers. The bond amount is $50,000 for annual loan totals of $20,000,000 or less, and $75,000 for annual loan totals over $20,000,000. The cost of the surety bond is usually between 1% and 3% of the bond amount. Surety1 will shop its many markets to procure the right price at the right terms.

A mortgage banker license is required for any person that  directly or indirectly holds themselves out as being able to:

• Buy or sell notes secured by liens on real property; or
• Make loans secured by liens on real property using their own money; and
• Does not engage in any other act or transaction described in the definition of “mortgage broker,” as set forth in NRS 645B.0127, unless the person is also licensed as a mortgage broker pursuant to chapter 645B of NRS.

This means that mortgage bankers in Nevada are primarily responsible for originating and underwriting mortgage loans, while mortgage brokers are primarily responsible for finding and matching borrowers with lenders.

Key differences between mortgage bankers and mortgage brokers in Nevada:

• Mortgage bankers typically have their own funding sources and can therefore offer a wider range of loan products and terms. They may also be able to offer lower interest rates than mortgage brokers.
• Mortgage brokers do not have their own funding sources and must therefore find lenders who are willing to originate loans to their borrowers.
