About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the producer bond actually covers

Illinois licenses insurance producers under the Insurance Code (215 ILCS 5). When a producer or business entity holds client premium money in a fiduciary capacity — including surplus line producers — Section 500-130 conditions the license on a continuous bond standing behind those funds.

The bond is conditioned on full accounting and due payment of premium funds that come into the producer's hands. If a producer collects a premium and fails to remit it to the company or person entitled to it, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

The amount is $2,500 or 5% of the premiums you brokered in the prior calendar year, whichever is greater, capped at $50,000. A business entity can satisfy the requirement with a bond in the entity's name. Enter your figure and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

215 ILCS 5/500-130 (Insurance Code)Under 215 ILCS 5/500-130, an insurance producer's bond is continuous in form and in the amount of $2,500 or 5% of the premiums brokered in the previous calendar year, whichever is greater, not to exceed $50,000 in aggregate liability. The bond is conditioned on full accounting and due payment of premium funds; a business entity may meet the requirement with a bond in the entity's name. The surety may cancel on 30 days' written notice. Confirm your required amount with the Department of Insurance.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Illinois insurance producer bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The bond amount is $2,500 or 5% of the premiums you brokered last year, whichever is greater, capped at $50,000 — so smaller producers land at the $275 minimum. Enter your amount and the quote updates.
How do I figure out my bond amount? +
Take 5% of the premiums you brokered in the previous calendar year. If that is under $2,500, your bond is $2,500. If it is over $50,000, the bond caps at $50,000. Send us your figure and we’ll confirm.
Can a business entity carry one bond for its producers? +
Yes. Under 215 ILCS 5/500-130, a business entity can meet the requirement with a continuous bond in the entity’s name, in the amounts the statute sets.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the producer bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What does the bond protect against? +
It backs the premium money you hold in trust. If you collect a premium and fail to remit it to the company or person entitled to it, they can claim against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
