The South Carolina Mortgage Lender Bond is required by the Commissioner of the Board of Financial Institutions. The bond states that the bondholder, or Principal, will comply with the Licensing of Mortgage Lenders Act, S.C. Code 37-22-110 et seq. The surety bond amount is set at $25,000 and must be issued by a surety company licensed to do business in the state.
