What Is an Oklahoma Mortgage Lender License Bond?

Oklahoma Legislative Statute § 59-2095.11.1. requires all mortgage lenders to file a surety bond for $100,000 before they can get licensed in the state. The bond guarantees the lender works in agreement with the Oklahoma Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act.
