The Alaska Small Loans Act (AS 06.20) requires a license applicant to file a $25,000 surety bond approved by the department under AS 06.20.050 — running to the state and to any person with a cause of action against the lender, filed with the Division of Banking and Securities. Ours is $250 flat, the price you see is the checkout price, and the bond issues the moment you pay. Any credit screen is a soft pull only — it never affects your score.
















Small loan license bonds are among the most standardized filings in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, owner details, an effective date, and a term — that is the entire application, and any credit screen is a soft pull that never shows as a hard inquiry.
This bond is checkout-priced at $250 flat, so it issues the moment you pay — your executed bond and power of attorney generate on the spot.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your small loan license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Alaska regulates small loan and consumer finance lenders through the Division of Banking and Securities under the Alaska Small Loans Act, AS 06.20. A license applicant files a $25,000 bond approved by the department under AS 06.20.050, with one or more sureties.
The bond runs to the state and to any person who may have a cause of action against you — it stands behind your promise to conform to AS 06.20 and the department's regulations, and to pay the state and borrowers any money that becomes due under the chapter. It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the state and your borrowers as protected parties.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The license renews annually, so the bond has to stay continuously on file; we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
These are the actual issuing fields — business details, owner details, an effective date, and a term. That is the entire application.
