IA industrial loan company bonds.
$250 flat.
Iowa licenses industrial loan companies through the superintendent of banking under Iowa Code chapter 536A. A license applicant must file a $25,000 surety bond with the superintendent — for the use of the state and any person with a cause of action against the company. 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.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Iowa Code chapter 536A governs industrial loan companies — lenders operating under an industrial loan license from the superintendent of banking. Under section 536A.7A, a license applicant files a bond furnished by a surety authorized in Iowa; until the superintendent sets a loan-volume-based amount by administrative rule, the bond is $25,000.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the state (the obligee). The bond is for the use of the state and any persons with causes of action against the company — conditioned on faithfully conforming to chapter 536A and its rules, with the surety answerable for moneys that become due to the state or to those persons under the chapter.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond is continuous until canceled by the surety on at least 30 days' written notice to you and the superintendent, so it stays on file for the life of the license; we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
