• $1,025 for flexible credit licensees and mortgage licenses; and
• $625 for check cashing licensees, deferred presentment licensees, premium finance licensees, industrial loan and thrift registrants, and title pledge licensees.

In addition, under the new fee structure, mortgage loan originators will continue to pay a licensing and renewal fee of $100 and a sponsorship fee of $100.  Money transmission licensees will also continue to pay licensing and examination fees based on the applicable statute.
