Nebraska folds retail installment sales financing into the Nebraska Installment Loan and Sales Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 45-334 to 45-380, administered by the Department of Banking and Finance. A company that acquires, holds, or services retail installment contracts — car paper, consumer goods contracts, and the like — licenses under the Act and files a surety bond of $50,000, plus an additional $50,000 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 licensee. It backs the Act’s conduct rules for installment paper — the time-price differential limits, permitted charges, disclosure, and refund-on-prepayment requirements that protect the buyer on the other end of the contract. The surety may cancel only on thirty days’ prior written notice to the Director.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay continuously on file for the life of the license, so 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 upload to NMLS.
