About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Missouri’s Reinsurance Intermediary Act (sections 375.1110–375.1140 RSMo) licenses the brokers and managers who place and manage reinsurance for Missouri insurers. For a reinsurance intermediary-manager — a firm with binding authority or claims-settlement authority for a reinsurer — the director of the Department of Commerce and Insurance may require added financial responsibility.

RSMo 375.1115 lets the director require the manager to file a bond, in an amount and from an insurer acceptable to the director, for the protection of each reinsurer represented — alongside errors-and-omissions coverage the director can also require. The amount is set case by case, which is why this page takes the amount from your department correspondence.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond stays on file while the requirement stands; we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

RSMo 375.1115 (Reinsurance Intermediary Act)Section 375.1115 of the Missouri Revised Statutes provides that the director may require a reinsurance intermediary-manager to file a bond, in an amount and from an insurer acceptable to the director, for the protection of each reinsurer represented, and to maintain an errors-and-omissions policy in an amount acceptable to the director. Confirm the amount required of you in your Department of Commerce and Insurance correspondence.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Missouri reinsurance financial responsibility bond?The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — a $100,000 bond is $1,000. The bond amount itself is set by the insurance director under RSMo 375.1115, and your exact price appears at the application, before you pay.
What bond amount do I need?There is no fixed statutory figure — RSMo 375.1115 has the director set an amount acceptable to the department, for the protection of each reinsurer you represent. Use the amount in your Department of Commerce and Insurance correspondence.
Who does the bond protect?Each reinsurer the intermediary-manager represents. If the manager mishandles the authority or funds entrusted by a reinsurer, the bond gives the reinsurer a source of recovery — it is a financial-responsibility backstop, not insurance for the manager.
Is there a credit check?If a credit screen runs on this bond, it is a soft pull only — never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Do reinsurance brokers need it too?The bond authority in RSMo 375.1115 is aimed at reinsurance intermediary-managers — firms managing reinsurance business with binding authority. If the department has asked you for a bond under a different provision, the same application works: enter the amount and form named in your correspondence.
