What it is and who needs it.
What the MGA bond actually covers
Arizona requires a person who acts as a managing general agent of an insurer to be licensed by the director of the Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions (DIFI) under A.R.S. § 20-311.01. An MGA produces and underwrites business on an insurer’s behalf and handles the insurer’s money, so the statute conditions licensure on a surety bond.
The bond runs to protect the insureds and insurers whose funds the MGA handles. Its amount is ten percent of the total annual premium the MGA produced nationwide for the insurer in the prior calendar year — but never less than $100,000 and never more than $500,000.
Because the figure scales with your premium, enter the amount that applies to you — premiums start at $100, and your exact price appears at the application. The insurer must keep the bond available for the director’s inspection, so it stays on file for the life of your MGA relationship.
