How Much Does an Oregon Mortgage Lender, Servicer or Originator License Bond Cost?
The cost of an Oregon mortgage lender, servicer or originator license bond is between $500 and $20,000. The required bond amount for all three types of bonds ranges from $50,000 to $200,000 based on loan volume. For a new license, the bond amount is $50,000 for the first year.
Through an authorized Oregon surety company, you can purchase your bond at a premium rate. The premium rate for your new bond will be between 1% and 10%. Your credit rating as well as assets and mortgage industry experience play roles in determining the rate.
You will qualify for a rate between 1% and 3% if your credit score is 700 or better. If your credit score is 600 to 699, the rate will fall between 3% and 5%. With a lower credit score, the premium rate will be between 5% and 10%.
