Arkansas Combination Mortgage Banker / Broker / Servicer - NMLS Bond
Overview
Running a mortgage operation in Arkansas that handles banking, brokering, and servicing under one roof? Arkansas requires combination licensees to carry a single NMLS-filed surety bond that covers all three functions together. This bond protects borrowers and the state against losses caused by your company's failure to meet its legal obligations. Get it in place before your Arkansas combination license can be approved or renewed.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've built a mortgage business in Arkansas that does it all — originating loans, brokering transactions, and servicing existing portfolios. Any Arkansas-licensed entity operating under a combination Mortgage Banker / Broker / Servicer designation through NMLS must hold this bond. A separate bond for each function is not the structure Arkansas requires here; the combination bond covers your full scope of activity under one filing. If your NMLS record reflects this combination license type, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Arkansas borrowers and the state from financial harm caused by your company's dishonest acts, misrepresentations, or failure to comply with Arkansas mortgage law across any of your three licensed functions. It is not a general liability policy and does not cover errors made in good faith or property damage claims. A valid claim against this bond can be filed when your company's conduct causes a covered financial loss to a consumer or to the state. The bond holds your business accountable across the full range of activities your combination license authorizes.
When is it Required?
Before your Arkansas combination Mortgage Banker / Broker / Servicer license is issued through NMLS, this bond must already be on file with the state. There is no grace period — licensure does not proceed without the bond in place. The same requirement applies at renewal; a lapsed or cancelled bond puts your active license at risk. Do not wait until your renewal deadline to address a bond gap.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Arkansas requirement filed through NMLS and governed by Arkansas mortgage lending law. It covers your combination-licensed activities conducted anywhere within the state of Arkansas. There is no local or county-level equivalent — this single bond satisfies the state's requirement for your combination license.
