Why You Need an Escrow Business License Bond
A Montana escrow business license bond is a financial guarantee that protects clients and the state from losses caused by fraud, misrepresentation, or failure to comply with escrow laws.
You may need the surety bond if you operate an escrow business that:
- Holds or disburses funds in escrow for real estate or financial transactions
- Acts as a neutral third party to manage escrow instructions
- Is applying for or renewing an escrow business license with the state
How the Montana Escrow Business License Bond Works
There are three parties involved in the bond: 1) The escrow business (principal), 2) Montana Division of Banking and Financial Institutions (obligee), and 3) the bonding company that issues the bond (surety).
An injured party may file a claim against the bond if an escrow business violates state regulations or mishandles client funds. In that case, the surety investigates the claim and, if it is valid, compensates the claimant up to the bond amount. You as the principal are then required to reimburse the surety for the amount paid.
