What is an Insurance Broker Bond?
Regulated by each state, insurance brokers and agents sell or negotiate insurance policies in exchange for financial compensation. Additionally, some also work with their insured customers to develop risk mitigation strategies. To legally operate, insurance agents must be licensed in the states in which they operate.
In addition to being licensed, most states require insurance brokers, whether operating as a broker company or an individual, to also become bonded. Insurance Broker Bonds ensures strict compliance with state insurance laws, and provide protection to any person or group of individuals that may have been wronged as a result of a negligent act committed by a licensed insurance agent.
Questions about Insurance Broker Bonds
How much does an Insurance Broker Bond cost?
Bond premium for insurance agent bonds is typically a fraction of the bond amount and is paid for on an annual basis. Rates are quoted as a percentage of the total bond amount, which can vary among states. For example, the insurance broker bond amount in North Carolina is $15,000, while in Illinois it can be between $2,500 and $50,000. Due to the strict licensing requirements and state regulation, these bonds are considered to be less risky than many other types of license bonds. As a result, Lance Surety is able to aggressively offer quotes to both standard market applicants as well as those with less than perfect credit.
Applicants with stellar credit typically see rates between 1 to 3% of the bond amount. Due to our exclusive high risk programs, bad credit programs rarely exceed 7.5%.
