How Much Does a Minnesota Surety Bond Cost?
The cost of a surety bond in Minnesota starts at $100 and may be up to $10,000. The required amount varies by bond type. For example, a $10,000 bond is required for credit services organizations, and mortgage brokers need a $100,000 bond.
Rather than pay this full amount to be licensed in Minnesota, you may purchase your bond by making a premium payment. Bonds are available from an authorized Minnesota surety bond company.
Premium rates start at 1% for well-qualified applications and go up to 10%. So, the cost of a mortgage broker bond in Minnesota starts at $1,000. The premium rate is determined by the applicant’s business experience, financial strength, and credit scores.
A rate of 1% to 3% is offered for applications with a 700 credit score or better. A rate of 3% to 5% is available for credit scores between 600 and 699. Applications with a 599 score or lower may qualify for a 5% to 10% premium rate.
