Alaska licenses deferred deposit advance (payday) lenders under AS 06.50, and a license applicant files a surety bond with the department under AS 06.50.040 — commonly $25,000 for a single location and $50,000 for multiple locations, filed through NMLS. The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, the bond issues the moment you pay, and any credit screen is a soft pull only — it never affects your score.
















No quote round-trip — enter your amount, pay, and the executed bond delivers through NMLS. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount your license requires, and an effective date — that is the entire application, and any credit screen is a soft pull that never shows as a hard inquiry.
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — priced at checkout, so the bond issues the moment you pay. Your executed bond and power of attorney generate on the spot.
The executed bond delivers on the NMLS electronic surety bond track to the Alaska Division of Banking and Securities. Wet-ink original mailed whenever the state insists.
Alaska regulates deferred deposit advances — payday loans — through the Division of Banking and Securities under AS 06.50. A license applicant files a surety bond with the department under AS 06.50.040, executed by the applicant and a surety authorized to do business in Alaska; in practice the state requires $25,000 for a single location and $50,000 for multiple locations.
The bond runs to the benefit of the department, the Department of Law, and any person with a claim arising from a violation of AS 06.50 — it stands behind your compliance with the fee caps, disclosure rules, and conduct requirements that protect Alaska borrowers. The bond is filed through NMLS against your company record.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The license renews annually, so the bond has to stay continuously on file; we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
Submit the application with the bond amount your license requires — the executed bond is generated the moment you pay, ready to file.
