About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Mississippi's Title Pledge Act licenses lenders who take a certificate of title as security, and the Department of Banking and Consumer Finance administers it. To be eligible, an applicant must file with the commissioner a bond with good security in the penal sum of $50,000 for each location, with the aggregate across all locations capped at $250,000 and no more than $50,000 payable or recoverable per location.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Mississippi (the obligee). The bond is payable to the state for your faithful performance of the duties and obligations of the licensed business and the prompt payment of any judgment recovered against you on account of damages or other claims arising from a violation of the Act.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond is not valid until the commissioner approves it, and a licensee convicted under the Act's criminal provisions forfeits the bond, so it has to stay continuously on file; we track the statutory renewal date and send notices 60 and 30 days out.

Miss. Code Ann. § 75-67-421(1)(c)To be eligible for a title pledge lender license, Section 75-67-421 requires the applicant to file with the commissioner a bond with good security in the penal sum of $50,000 for each location at which the applicant proposes to engage in the business of title pledge lending — with the aggregate for all locations per applicant capped at $250,000 and no more than $50,000 payable or recoverable for each location. The bond is payable to the State of Mississippi for the faithful performance by the licensee of the duties and obligations pertaining to the business so licensed and the prompt payment of any judgment recovered against the licensee arising from a violation of the article, and is not valid until approved by the commissioner. Cash, a certificate of deposit, or government bonds of $25,000 per location may be filed in lieu.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Mississippi title pledge lender bond?The premium is $500 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every title pledge lender. The $50,000 bond amount is set by Miss. Code § 75-67-421(1)(c), so there is no quote process, and the price you see is the checkout price.
Do I pay the $50,000?No. You pay $500. The $50,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
I have more than one store. Do I need more than one bond?Yes. The statute requires $50,000 for each location where you engage in title pledge lending, with the aggregate for all locations capped at $250,000 and no more than $50,000 recoverable per location.
Is there a credit check?This application carries a credit-consent section, and the screen it authorizes is a soft pull only — never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. The price stays $500 flat either way.
Who requires the bond, and where do I file it?The Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance. The bond is filed with the commissioner as part of your title pledge lender application and is not valid until the commissioner approves it.
