Mortgage lenders in Maryland are licensed and regulated by the state’s Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation.
While licensing is regulated by this Department, the filing of the license and required surety bond are accomplished through NMLS – the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System.
Once the surety bond is purchased, our agency will electronically file the bond on your behalf.

The Maryland mortgage lender bond is a financial guarantee which ensures your compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations encompassing the lending, brokering, and servicing of mortgages.
The surety bond protects any consumers, whether in Maryland or outside the state, from acts of criminal wrongdoing, malfeasance and misfeasance on the part of a licensed mortgage lender. The bond also protects wrongdoing from any employees, agents, and managers of a licensed and bonded company.
As principal of this bond, you would be required to indemnify the surety for any claims paid against your bond. The total value of all claims, however, will not exceed the aggregate total of your bond, excluding any attorney costs and related fees.
