To the Institution Addressed:
I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that increased bond requirements become effective July 1, 2004. A pledged deposit may be utilized in lieu of a bond. These new requirements are set forth in Part 410 of the Superintendent’s Regulations and may be found on the Department’s web site under Selected Regulations. If you have not already obtained or arranged for a bond or pledged deposit in the appropriate amount, you should treat this as an urgent matter.
For mortgage bankers, the amounts are as follows:
