About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the MGA bond actually covers

A managing general agent is a person or firm that manages all or part of an insurer's business in Idaho — including binding or placing business and handling premium funds. Idaho regulates MGAs under Title 41, Chapter 15, and the Department of Insurance conditions the arrangement on a surety bond for the insurer's protection.

The bond amount is the greater of $5,000 or 10% of the total funds the MGA handled in the preceding year, so it scales with the size of your book. (MGAs also typically hold a property-and-casualty producer license and carry errors-and-omissions coverage — separate requirements from this bond.)

The bond stands behind your honest handling of the insurer's funds and your compliance with the MGA statute. If the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you. Enter your required amount and see your price at the application, from $100.

Idaho Code 41-1503Idaho regulates managing general agents under Title 41, Chapter 15. Idaho Code 41-1503 requires an MGA to maintain a surety bond in an amount equal to the greater of $5,000 or 10% of the total funds handled in the preceding year, for the insurer's benefit. MGAs separately hold a producer license and carry E&O coverage. Confirm your exact required amount with the Department of Insurance.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Idaho MGA bond?Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — the bond amount is the greater of $5,000 or 10% of the funds you handled in the preceding year. See your exact price in the on-page calculator.
How do I calculate my required amount?Take 10% of the total funds you handled as MGA in the prior year. If that is below $5,000, your bond is $5,000 — the statutory floor. If you are unsure of the figure, the Department of Insurance can confirm it.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information for this bond. Most applications approve instantly; if a check ever runs on a larger amount, it is a soft pull that will not affect your credit score.
Is the bond the same as my E&O coverage?No. The bond protects the insurer and the public if you mishandle funds or violate the MGA statute. Errors-and-omissions insurance protects you. Idaho MGAs typically carry both, plus a producer license — this page is the surety bond.
Where do I file it?With the Idaho Department of Insurance, alongside your MGA appointment paperwork. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
