The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Can I use a general finance-lender amount?
Use the amount for the actual residential mortgage lender request. Similar California lending programs need not use the same bond.
Does purchasing add servicing authority?
No. Disclose servicing and follow the applicable licensing instructions separately from buying security.
Where do I apply?
Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Review, issuance and regulatory filing come separately from the licensing decision.
