About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Georgia regulates insurance premium finance companies under Chapter 22 of Title 33 — the companies that advance an insurance premium for a Georgia insured and collect it back in installments. As a solvency safeguard, O.C.G.A. § 33-22-5 requires each licensee to deposit $25,000 in securities acceptable to the Commissioner — or file a $25,000 surety bond in its place, which keeps your capital working instead of parked with the state.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Georgia through its Insurance Commissioner (the obligee). The bond stands behind your compliance with the premium finance law — the licensing, disclosure, and refund rules that protect insureds who finance their premiums through you.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay continuously on file as long as you hold the license; we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

O.C.G.A. § 33-22-5Section 33-22-5 of the Georgia Insurance Code requires each licensed premium finance company to deposit with the Commissioner securities acceptable to the Commissioner in the amount of $25,000 — or, in lieu of that deposit, to file a corporate surety bond in the same amount. The bond runs in favor of the state for the benefit of parties damaged by a violation of the premium finance law.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $25,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with the Insurance Commissioner. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your premium finance company license at the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $250 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.

No credit check.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Georgia insurance premium finance company bond?The premium is $250 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every premium finance company. The $25,000 bond amount is set by O.C.G.A. § 33-22-5, so there is no quote process, and the price you see is the checkout price.
Do I pay the $25,000?No. You pay $250. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Bond or securities deposit — which should I use?O.C.G.A. § 33-22-5 lets you satisfy the requirement either way. A securities deposit parks $25,000 of your capital with the Commissioner; the bond costs $250 flat and leaves your capital in the business — which is why nearly every licensee files the bond.
How fast will I have the bond?This bond is checkout-priced, so it issues the moment you pay — your e-signed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your license application.
Is there a credit check?No credit check: the application collects no credit information. The price stays $250 flat either way.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
