About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

New Hampshire licenses nondepository mortgage bankers, brokers, and servicers under RSA 397-A, administered by the banking department. RSA 397-A:5, III(c) requires a mortgage servicer applicant to post a continuous surety bond in the minimum amount of $100,000 running to the commissioner, and the commissioner may set coverage above that floor based on the volume the licensee handles.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the bank commissioner (the obligee). The bond stands behind your compliance with the chapter — the escrow handling, payment crediting, disclosure, and conduct rules that protect New Hampshire borrowers whose loans you service. The surety must give the commissioner 30 days' written notice before cancellation or termination.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety, and you must immediately file a replacement bond after a successful action. Recovery can be pursued up to six years after the act complained of, so the bond stays continuous; we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

RSA 397-A:5, III(c)Section 397-A:5 of the New Hampshire Revised Statutes sets the license application requirements under the Licensing of Nondepository Mortgage Bankers, Brokers, and Servicers chapter. Subparagraph III(c) requires mortgage bankers and mortgage servicers to post a continuous surety bond in the minimum amount of $100,000 running to the commissioner (mortgage brokers post a $50,000 minimum), with coverage reflecting the dollar amount of loans originated by each mortgage loan originator as determined by the commissioner. The surety must give the commissioner 30 days' advance written notice of cancellation or termination, and no recovery may be made unless the state claims or suit is brought within 6 years of the act on which it is based. Confirm your required amount with the banking department before you buy.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the New Hampshire mortgage servicer bond?The premium is 0.6% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. At the $100,000 statutory floor in RSA 397-A:5, III(c) that works out to $600. Your exact price appears at the application, before you pay.
What bond amount do I enter?The amount the bank commissioner set for your license. The statute puts the floor at $100,000 for a servicer, and the commissioner can require more based on your loan volume — the figure on your NMLS licensing checklist is the one to use.
Do I pay the bond amount?No. You pay the premium — 0.6% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. The bond amount is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made, not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check?If a credit screen runs on this bond, it is a soft pull only — never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. The rate stays 0.6% of the bond amount either way.
How is this different from the mortgage broker bond?Same statute, different minimum. RSA 397-A:5, III(c) sets $100,000 for mortgage bankers and servicers and $50,000 for brokers. If you place loans rather than service them, you need the broker bond instead.
