Wyoming bonds

Wyoming — Consumer Lender License - NMLS Bond

Match Wyoming consumer-lender security to the Division of Banking's actual request and your lending activity. Consumer Lender, Sales Finance and first-mortgage licensing are different; the NMLS label alone does not make every license subject to the same bond requirement.

What this bond does

Arrange the security applicable to the company's Wyoming consumer-lending activity, without treating a company license, an individual originator license and a bond as interchangeable.

Who needs it
Consumer-lender licensing teams identifying the required company security, including organizations employing or contracting with mortgage loan originators where Section 40-14-637 applies.
Who it protects
Where Section 40-14-637 applies, the bond runs to Wyoming for persons damaged by specified violations involving residential mortgage transactions. It secures the organization's and covered originators' statutory, rule, order and applicable federal-law duties—not every unpaid consumer loan.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

Details

The Division describes Consumer Lenders as originating consumer loans or purchasing specified non-servicing rights to non-defaulted loans, excluding first mortgage liens. Sales Finance Companies and non-lender creditors have different roles. Identify the actual licensed activity and regular business locations, including online operations, before arranging security.

Section 40-14-637 requires a company employing or contracting with mortgage loan originators to maintain a Wyoming surety bond covering those individuals. The amount is set by rule based on residential mortgage volume. Aggregate liability cannot exceed the face amount; the bond continues until the administrator releases it, or otherwise expires two years after license surrender, revocation or expiration. This conditional originator-security provision is not a universal bond mandate for every non-mortgage consumer lender.

Purchase Now opens Propeller's Wyoming consumer-lender application in a new tab. Bring the Division's written request, current accepted bond form, legal company and NMLS record, licensed activities, covered originators if applicable, required sum and dates. Confirm the applicable obligation and form before paying. Complete the required bond filing, including applicable riders or endorsements, and the separate NMLS license process; keep acceptance. Annual license renewal does not establish an annual bond expiry.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Identify the Consumer Lender activity and any mortgage-originator employment or contracting arrangement.
  2. Obtain the Division's written security request and accepted form; do not substitute a first-mortgage or sales-finance requirement.
  3. Match the licensed company/NMLS record, actual required sum, covered persons and effective dates.
  4. Submit the required bond evidence and complete licensing separately, retaining acceptance.

Questions about this bond

Does every consumer-lender license require the originator bond?

Do not infer that from the license name. Section 40-14-637 addresses organizations employing or contracting with mortgage loan originators. Have the Division identify the obligation applicable to your actual activities.

Should an individual originator replace the company as applicant?

The cited section requires the employing or contracting organization to maintain a bond covering its originators. Match the actual company and covered persons to the Division's request.

Does December license renewal end the bond?

Not under the cited continuing-bond provision. The Division's NMLS renewal cycle and the bond's release or post-license expiry provisions are different.

Can I select a sum from an old initial-bond example?

Use the current rule and Division request for your actual residential mortgage activity. The statute delegates the amount to rules based on volume; an older example is not a verified amount for every consumer lender.
