OK mortgage lender bonds.
$600 flat.
Oklahoma licenses residential mortgage lenders through the Department of Consumer Credit under the Oklahoma Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act, and the Administrator cannot issue a mortgage lender license without a $100,000 surety bond on file. Ours is $600 flat, the price you see is the checkout price, and the bond issues the moment you pay. Any credit screen is a soft pull only — it never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oklahoma licenses residential mortgage lenders under the Oklahoma Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act (59 O.S. § 2095.1 et seq.), administered by the Department of Consumer Credit. Before the Administrator may issue a mortgage lender license, the applicant has to show a net worth of at least $25,000 by audited financial statement and file a $100,000 surety bond.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Oklahoma (the obligee), with Oklahoma borrowers as the protected parties. The bond stands behind your compliance with the SAFE Act and the rules the Department writes under it — the licensing, disclosure, and conduct standards that govern residential mortgage lending in the state.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety, and the statute requires you to restore the bond to its full $100,000 principal sum after any recovery. Licenses have to stay continuously bonded, so we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
