What is the Purpose of the Bond?

Insurance brokers are trusted by their clients to source appropriate insurance coverage, handle the logistics of the transaction, and properly represent the risk to insurers. The nature of this business creates an opportunity for financial damage to the customer if the broker acts dishonestly or fraudulently. This could be the client seeking insurance coverage, or the insurance company themselves. State regulatory agencies require this bond to ensure that the broker will comply with all insurance laws, licensing requirements, and ethical standards. If a client or an insurer suffers financial damages due to prohibited activity, the bond may be able to provide financial restitution for valid claims. Below is a list of examples that could potentially lead to a claim:

This is not an exhaustive list, its important to understand your specific state laws and requirements.

How Are These Bonds Filed?

Filing procedures can vary by state, but the standard process is typically for you to mail or email the signed bond to the obligee. After you purchase, Jet will email you a copy of your bond form that you can print out and sign, or electronically sign if the obligee you're working with allows for it. In the event that you are required to mail in the physical bond form, Jet will mail you the original sealed bond form for you to sign and mail in. If your specific bond is filed in the National Multistate Licensing System (NMLS), Jet can file the bond for you after you grant us authority.
