Payment Bonds


What is a payment bond?

In the unfortunate event that a contractor defaults, Payment Bonds ensure that the principal will pay all applicable subcontractors, laborers and materials suppliers associated with the project. Of note, payment bonds are frequently submitted together with a "Performance Bond" to an obligee, which is where the common term "Performance and Payment Bond" comes from.

Current Market for Payment Bonds: In today's surety bond market, contract bonds such as payment bonds are being written just about the same way across the industry. At the beginning of the 21st century, bonding companies often approved contractors for bonds in excess of what their financial statements and credit history should have rated and, as a result, suffered record losses. As this last decade has progressed, underwriting techniques have stabilized, and bonding companies are currently applying more scrutiny when underwriting these types of contract bonds.
