OR mortgage servicer bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
Oregon licenses mortgage servicers through the Division of Financial Regulation, and OAR 441-890-0035 requires a corporate surety bond — or an irrevocable letter of credit — sized to the unpaid principal balance of the Oregon residential mortgage loans you service, from $50,000 to $200,000. The premium is 0.6% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, shown before you pay, 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 mortgage servicer bond covers
Oregon licenses mortgage servicers through the Division of Financial Regulation at the Department of Consumer and Business Services, with the licensing rules in OAR chapter 441, division 890. OAR 441-890-0035 — Corporate Surety Bond or Irrevocable Letter of Credit for Mortgage Servicers — is the security requirement that rides with the licence.
The amount is calculated on the total unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans in Oregon you service, measured as of the last day of the second quarter each year (the most recently completed quarter for a new application): $50,000 under $10 million, $75,000 from $10 million, $100,000 from $25 million, $150,000 from $50 million, and $200,000 at $100 million or more.
The bond is renewed or replaced each calendar year and delivered to the director by filing in NMLS by December 1, effective as of December 31. It 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 so the December filing never sneaks up on you.
