The purpose of the Georgia mortgage broker bond is a financial guarantee which ensures your compliance with the GRMA (Georgia Residential Mortgage Act) and any other statutes regulating your profession within the state, particularly Article 13 of Chapter 1 of Title 7 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.
The mortgage broker surety bond protects others ---the Department and the people of the state of Georgia --- from acts of fraud, theft, negligence, or malfeasance committed by a mortgage broker which causes harm.

In addition to the credit check involved in the licensing of a Georgia mortgage broker, there is also a credit check involved in determining the surety bond’s annual premium.
