About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the installment loan bond covers

Nebraska regulates consumer lending under the Nebraska Installment Loan and Sales Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 45-334 to 45-380, administered by the Department of Banking and Finance. An applicant for a license under the Act must file a surety bond of $50,000, furnished by a surety company authorized to do business in Nebraska — and the bond increases by an additional $50,000 for each branch location the applicant licenses.

The bond is for the use of the State of Nebraska and any Nebraska resident who may have claims or causes of action against the licensee. It stands behind the conduct rules the Act imposes on installment lenders — the rate, fee, disclosure, and record requirements that protect borrowers. The surety may cancel only on thirty days’ prior written notice to the Director.

A licensee that employs or contracts with a licensed mortgage loan originator must also post a supplemental surety bond, starting at $100,000 and scaling with closed or serviced residential mortgage loan volume. The bond is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 45-338 (Nebraska Installment Loan and Sales Act)Section 45-338(1) provides that an applicant for a license under the Nebraska Installment Loan and Sales Act shall file with the department a surety bond in the amount of fifty thousand dollars, furnished by a surety company authorized to do business in this state, increased by an additional fifty thousand dollars for each licensed branch location. The bond is for the use of the State of Nebraska and any Nebraska resident who may have claims or causes of action against the applicant, and the surety may cancel only upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the director. Subsection (2) adds a supplemental bond, beginning at one hundred thousand dollars, for licensees employing mortgage loan originators. Confirm your total with the Department of Banking and Finance.
