How Much Does an Idaho Mortgage Broker & Lender Bond Cost?
An Idaho mortgage broker and lender bond costs between $250 and $2,500. The Idaho surety bond requirement of $25,000 is for one business location. Each additional licensed branch location increases the required bond amount by $10,000.
You can purchase a mortgage broker and lender bond from an authorized Idaho surety company. By doing so, you can pay the bond premium rather than the full bond amount.
The premium cost ranges from 1% to 10% of the required bond amount. The rate depends on the applicant’s financial assets, credit score and professional experience.
A bond premium rate of 1% to 3% is available for those with a credit score of 700 or higher. The rate for a 600 to 699 credit score is 3% to 5%. With a credit score of 599 or below, the premium rate is between 5% and 10%.
