New Hampshire Mortgage Servicer Bonds Explained
New Hampshire mortgage servicers need to get a license in the state before launching their operations. Among the obligatory requirements that you have to fulfill as a part of this process is to provide a mortgage servicer bond.
The bonding serves as a protection instrument that maintains the interests of the state and your customers. It is a guarantee for your legal compliance in your capacity as a mortgage servicer.
Your surety bond is a contract between your business as the principal, and two more parties. The obligee that sets the licensing requirements is the New Hampshire Banking Department. The third entity provides the bond, and this is the surety.
