How Much Does a Nebraska Mortgage Banker Bond Cost?
The cost of a Nebraska mortgage banker bond is between $1,000 and $10,000. This cost is based on the required bond amount of $100,000. However, when you buy your bond from an authorized Nebraska surety company, you can pay a premium rate rather than the full bond amount.
The premium rate for a mortgage banker bond in Nebraska ranges from 1% for well-qualified applicants up to 10%. The rate is based on credit scores, professional experience and financial assets.
A premium rate of 1% to 3% of the required bond amount is reserved for those who have a 700 credit score or better. A rate of 3% to 5% is available for those who have a 600 to 699 credit score. Applicants with lower credit scores will receive a premium rate of 5% to 10%.

Mortgage Banker Bond Requirements in Nebraska
The Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance maintains license and bond requirements for mortgage bankers. However, new license applications and renewal applications are processed by the National Multistate Licensing System, or NMLS.
The Nebraska Residential Mortgage Licensing Act, Section 45-705 requires companies that directly or indirectly participate in mortgage activities for compensation to be licensed.
These activities include originating, modifying, arranging, selling and acquiring loans. First and second liens, short sales, HELOCs and others are included.
The surety bond requirement varies based on the volume of annual residential mortgage loans. It starts at $100,000 for loans not exceeding $5 million annually and increases up to $200,000 for loans exceeding $25 million annually.
The NMLS only accepts electronic surety bonds. These must be submitted through the NMLS portal. The bond must remain active to avoid a mortgage banker license suspension. We will contact you when the annual renewal period is approaching.
The NMLS accepts electronic surety bonds. For questions about a Nebraska mortgage banker license, contact the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance at (402) 471-2171.
