E.L.M. Insurance Brokers Inc., a specialist in professional liability, has tailored a new, comprehensive program for mortgage bankers and mortgage brokers that includes errors & omissions and financial institution bond coverages. The program has capacity of $25 million for both the E&O and the bond, and multi-year programs are available for both coverages.
The E&O liability form includes the following:
路 Coverage for commercial, multi-family and residential mortgage loan activity.
路 Standard mortgage impairment coverage.
路 Optional Employment Practices Liability (EPL) coverage and loss prevention program.
路 $250,000 in punitive damages coverage (where insurable by law).
路 Coverage for independent contractors.
路 No repurchase exclusion.
路 No exclusions for emotional distress or mental anguish.
路 No exclusion for claims arising from fees or charges.
Highlights of the Financial Institution Bond are as follows:

路 Fraudulent document coverage for any loss suffered by the mortgage banker as a result of false information provided by a mortgage applicant.
路 Computer fraud coverage.
路 Claims expense coverage that pays the cost of a professional audit by a CPA if the audit determines that a loss actually occurred.
路 Trading coverage.
